Hopefully this will be the end of Brazil.

C'mon Chile!

Viva Chile .

Normally I'd go for Chile in this encounter but for the sake of the craic and my own personal safety, I'd rather the Brazilian fans are kept happy for the time being. So I hope Brazil hammer Chile.

Boskowski

I read somewhere and now just looked it up again that Chile have an awful record with Brazil over the years. 50 losses v 8 wins and 12 draws. Last win was in 2000 and they only won twice on Brazilian soil ever.
Brazil seem to be Chiles bogey team.

A Primal Nut

That's just because historically Brazil have always been a much better team than Chile. This time they are more evenly matched.

NIMAN

I think so many people are saying that this could be a big shock, that I'll go for a Brazil 3-1 victory.

Son Of A Vidic

Despite this being the worst Brazil team that all lovers of Brazil can ever remember. I still and always will root for Brazil. A Chile victory wouldn't surprise me in the least though.

Maybe so, I don't remember ever watching a Brazil Chile match tbh, so I couldn't comment on their relative strengths in the past. Only saying. What with all the Chile love. Stats hold some truths.

Benimar

I just have a bad vibe about this game. Chile to be the better side but Brazil to get a whopper of a refereeing decision in their favour and win 2-1.

Manach

In spite of being impressed with the Chilean performance, I reckon having home field advantage and having steadied their nerves by topping their group that Brazil will shade it - my 2c.

alchemist33

At home, with all their history, and possibly a strong performance by Refereenho, I think Brazil will win. But I'd like Chile to get through.

CSF

Think people are giving Chile more of a shout than they should be here, Brazil justified as strong favourites and as long as Neymar shows up, they should be ok

ROCKMAN

Chile 11/2 with PP
I'll have some of that.
Great value IMO.

Corholio

This'll be a pretty close match, and while Brazil haven't played that well, they got through what they needed to, pretty handily in the end.

Chile on the other hand haven't been as extremely impressive as people are making out. They played well against Spain but were quite poor against Australia and were beaten handy by Holland.

I find some of the Brazil hate a bit strange too. Not quite sure where it comes from really.

Dempsey

I said Brazil would win this tournament at the beginning because they are decent but more importantly they will get refereeing decisions.

Howard Webb will probably give Brazil a whopper of a decision to decide the game.

Should be a cracker of a game though, Chile are in a prime position to cause an upset.

¡Vamos Chile!

Fernandinho in for Paulinho makes them a lot better. A lot will depend on Neymar getting at least some sort of support from Hulk, Oscar and Fred.

Iused2likebusts

Come on Brazil they haven't been as bad as some are making out and although nowhere near as good as some of the great Brazilian teams have a great chance of winning the tournament.

urabell

Early shock tactics from the Chileans will see an early lead which will be defended with fury until a late moment of magic evens things up, fear will paralyse the play in extra time, this will go to penalties where the result is outside my powers of prediction and inside the hands of the Gods

Nuri Sahin

Hopeful that Chile will push them all the way to penalties at the very, very least. Though the 'Webb Factor' worries me a tad.

Billy86

I wish you could put bets on how much influence the ref will have on a match.

urabell

Why does nobody trust Webb? He's a great referee and doesn't seem the type to influence the game for FIFA

You could argue his not sending off De Jong in the last final is a great example of him doing just that.

Not necessarily to do with Webb for me though, just in general.

3-1 Brazil

Not if Fred or Hulk have anything to say about it! :pac:

letowski

Would Brazil not be better with Hulk up top and maybe Bernard on the right? Hulk always played his best football through the centre for both Porto and Zenit. I think Fred's and Hulk's lack of form could hurt them.

Lapin

Brazil team: César, Alves, Silva, Luiz, Marcelo, Gustavo, Fernandinho, Hulk, Oscar, Neymar, Fred.

Chile team: O'Herlihy, Dunphy, Giles, Whelan, Brady, Cunningham, Sadlier, Ardiles, Hamann, Friedel, Clement.

Webb will be in FIFA's pocket Brazil to win controversially

It's not really a shock if so many people are saying it. Chile are a good team, this is a close match, Chile winning won't be a surprise never mind a shock.

Come on chile!!

Lightbulb Sun

A lot of disrespectful booing from Brazilian fans.

keith16

Not nice to hear the anthem being jeered.

Paul Tergat

I remember people always telling me that England fans are the only ones who boo opposition national anthems. Brazil were booing for most of the Chile anthem there.

adox

Booing of national anthems is back I see.


Come on Chile!!

citytillidie

Poor form there to boo each other's anthems

Lapin

Whenever Chile get around to finishing their song a game of football might break out.

Classy showing from the home fans there.

Billy86

Did Brazil just boo Chile's anthem? Pretty classless.

Cypher_sounds

3 sending offs and a contravesial win for brasil

Pro. F

Brazilians drowning out the Chilean anthem with boos. I hope they get destroyed.

Lightbulb Sun

Chile fans are at it too I think.

You know Howard Webb will break the record for Fergie time if Brazil is somehow behind in this match

Billy86

Now Chile do the same back... doesn't look like this will be a friendly atmosphere!

Lapin

All I hear is shouting.

Worrying what will happen if Brazil lose.
