Mitch Connor

that medel guy is rubbish.

Can't understand how anyone could rate him.

Utter rubbish.
;-D

Blatant handball there.

Nearly had me

Strange seeing him as a left sided centre back alright. He's capable of playing almost anywhere but never seen him play there before. I missed the build up, is Jara injured or is there any particular reason Chile have reverted to a 4-4-2?

pickarooney

This is medicine.

_Bella_

I dont know if I've ever seen a centre back taking a goal kick

cm2000

Good half of football, really impressed with Chile's attitude and also the sign in the crowd about the "red hot Chile peppers"

andyman

"You have to question why a man from the Seychelles is reffing a World Cup match"

A bit of an ignorant statement there, Stephen.

Headshot

i really do admire this chile side, some of them also took part in the Toulon tournament iirc so they have a young squad

Honduras have to come out and attack now and chile will pick them off in the counter attack

steelcityblues

Honduras could be a poorer side than even the Aussies on this evidence!

Chile should be thinkin of scoring at least one more goal!

GavRedKing

Good game so far, Chile's work rate has being exceptional, they could easily cause an upset with their work rate and ability to play ball when they have it.

Nothing player, a poor mans Paul McShane.

cm2000

Chile defend very much like Barce. It's a style you rarely see because of the work rate required but its very effective in getting the ball back.

IvySlayer

Sanchez has been lively, Chile could go on to score 3 more at this rate.

keano_afc

If Honduras get a free in their own half, they should let Figueroa shoot. The distance he got on that goal kick in the first half was unreal.

Peyton Manning

Best tackle of all time, ever.

Oat23

Am I seeing things or did the defender get the ball?

The guy on ITV is adamant the ref isn't up to it and got the decision wrong .

cm2000

Sanchez is unreal! Can anyone give me a run down on him?

Pro. F

I am now supporting Chile in this world cup. Very enjoyable so far.

I hope Mitch and Frisbee saw it.

That was a "Hey Mitch, Laura....go fúck yourselves" tackle if ever I've seen one.

Vokes

Listening on the radio here. Commentators don't seem to be sure if Chile are playing their usual 3-3-1-3 this half or somehhing else ?

Xavi6

Wiki -

Perhaps Seychelles' best ever player was midfielder Godfrey Moustache, a real cornerstone of the successful and famous team of the late sixties and early seventies.

5'9", brown eyes, likes long walks on the beach and building furniture and then having a conversation about where to place it in a room.

Archi, do you rate that Medel character at all? And don't sit on the fence.

It's more of a 4-2-1-3 today. Vidal has slotted in beside Medel at left back.

He's God, watch your filthy mouth.

I'll give you a Dunphy style run down. Young Chilean Winger, plays in Serie A for Udinese, not up to much Bill.

Nah seriously though hes a pretty bright prospect and a very versatile attacker as far as I know. He'd certainly be considered one of Udineses star players

You shut your mouth when your talking to me!

This match sounds like it's at least a decent display of football, gutted I'm in work, I'll be home in time for the Spain game though which is a bonus.

He's also a FM legend.

Finical

Want a bit of HON-DUR-ASS? Commentator is cringe.

Peyton Manning

Wonder save!

MementoMori

So is the Honduras performance all down to Chile playing well and not giving the Hondurans much time on the ball or are they a poor side who are already on their way home?

Save keeper:eek:

cm2000

what a save!!!

titan18

Very nice save

IvySlayer

Super keeper.

Oat23

Great save from the keeper.

Should have scored though.

Cypher_sounds

Great flippin' save

Headshot

that was awful by the chile player

MR NINE

The two second round ties between this group and Brazils group are gonna be class I reckon

KJF

Best save of the World Cup so far. Incredible reactions.

pickarooney

What a poncey header!

cm2000

Why use your head there though, you do have to ask!

The_Kew_Tour

Should been goal but still what a fantatsic save by keeper did all he could, wont find many better saves in world cup.

cherryghost

one of the best matches so far

He's a centre half.

All we meat head defenders do is try to head it every time!

MementoMori

I think Chile might well regret not scoring more goals here as I wouldnt be surprised if themselves and the Swiss ended up on the same number of points and it could come down to goal difference.

Peyton Manning

Honduras just hanging in there, defending like beavers it has to be said.

IvySlayer

Another great tackle!

pickarooney

Chile could really do with scoring here.

Definitely good attacking lively football throughout.

MementoMori

Geez hom many chances do the Chileans need to score.

For the amount of time spent in the Honduran penalty area they haven't exactly been clinical.

pickarooney

dammit, stream dead again

FearDark

C'mon Chile, one goal more please! Have them backed to score the next goal @2.90.
