    Is there any reason not to take Chile pk today?

    Netherlands is playing well i know but Chile is playing every bit as good and this should be like a home game for Chile.

    The mindset of fading European teams against South/Central American teams has been good to me so far.

    Was thinking of making this a large play. Any reason not to? Will Chile be happy with a draw here or will they be agressive and try to get the win? I mean the loser likely has to play Brazil right?

    Both teams like to attack, and both team had no problem scoring in the world cup. So I am going with the over 2.5 just because I do not have to guess which team will have the slight edge to win (there are many unpredictable bullshit factors in a world cup game - refs, weather...etc just look at how bosnia lost to nigeria when clearly they should have won). This is assuming both want the top spot in the group (and why wouldn't they, no one wants Brazil).

    Although Brazil has not looked great I think it would be fairly obvious to say neither team would like to face them in the round of 16.

    Chile will absolutely not be happy with a draw, a draw and a loss is the same for them. Win and they avoid Brazil, anything else and they play them.

    (this is obviously provided Brazil finish 1st, but that's what both teams will be expecting as they kick off)

    Vidal, the heart and soul of the Chile team, maybe rested today. Even if he plays, he can't play aggressively as he is on a yellow card.
