Is such a big underdog to Spain?
Considering what Ive seen with my own 2 eyes in this World Cup....I cant figure it out...

They got two players kicked out for this game with to many yellow cards. Still worth a shot at the draw, maybe correct scores. 1-0 - 2-0Comment -
Chile are playing well, yes, but they are above average not more than that. Spain are the best team in the world, if we like it or not.Comment -
Chile will sit back this match and really try to get the draw. It's very possible they turn up a counter attack goal.Comment -
is chile at +500 ? they aren;t really big underdogs, when you think of Spain;s team, in the end.Soccer record (2010) : 244-160-24

I d go for the draw, 1-1

What players are out? I could see this being a low scoring win for Spain, 1-0 or 2-0.Comment -
You guys are way off on this score line. Spain need this game so they will be pushing the ball up the pitch. Chile natural play is to get it up. I like Chile a lot but Spain is very, very good. This may be the fastest played 90 minutes we have seen all cup. 2-2 for the draw. Maybe 2-1 Spain.Comment -
Spain is better than they've appeared. I like them to beat Chile.Comment -
Why were Japan such big underdogs vs Denmark? Was was Brazil at 1.8 vs Ivory Coast? Go with what you saw, too many traps in the lines in this WC.Comment -
Spains back line is no fortress, if Chile can take there chances they have a chance, hopefully Suazo will startForward points to Karayilan, i am unable to receive SBR pointsComment -
They are asking you to take Chile. The chileans need a draw here and will play smart here. So far Spain have shown an ability to miss so many chances. If i were Chile i would sit back and let spain do what they want and try to catch them on the counter. Spain needs this game and Chile should approach it that way.Comment -
can Chile even play for a draw, Bielsa mind set is attack attack attack lol, but i agree, if Chile adopt a counter attack approach it could be effective.Forward points to Karayilan, i am unable to receive SBR pointsComment -
Ramos, Puyol, Pique, Capdevilla. Take out Capdevilla and you have a very solid line with the best keeper in the world too.
How big are you going on Chile Turkzz?Cause Sleep is the Cousin of DeathComment -
my fears exactly, should be an interesting gameForward points to Karayilan, i am unable to receive SBR pointsComment -
Iker has fantastic reflexes but is a lil suspect on crosses and such,
as for Chile,no play for me, my heart says Chile, as i love Bielsa's football philosophy, but my head says Spain will pick them off, be a fantastic game to watch, looking forward to itForward points to Karayilan, i am unable to receive SBR pointsComment -
Spain rolls
3-1Comment -
They both need this game to qualify ... But theres also a chance of Switzerland losing their game and allowing Chile and Spain to advance.
So I guess they will play there cards according to what happens with the Swiss game.Comment -
This is the perfect matchup for Spain. Chile won't sit back and play 9 in defence because they aren't good enough to do so. The Spanish love a team to come at them and try and play football, thats when they are at their imperious best, Spain may win this by 3 or 4 in a statement game.Comment -
Spain 2-0Comment -
look what happened to italy today anything can happenComment -
Because Spain matches up well with Chile. A side that quite the contrary to the 2 first teams meeting up with Spain will not park the bus and defend for 90 minutes. That's what really got the Swiss the win over Spain. Honduras did not defend the same way but also had no offense to contribute with. Luck saved them from not losing that game 5-0 or 6-0.
Spain and Chile will be a great game, in my opinion. And if the spanish defense looks nonchalant like they were in the first 2 matches and especially vs Honduras - then Chile will definitely be on the scoreboard as well as Spain.
I can see a 2-1 3-1 win for Spain here.Comment -
Chile will not sit back, Loco Bielsa's footballing philosophy will not allow that as he believes attack is the best form of defense and that his whole team is the defense.
Teams rarely bring it to Spain but when they have done its produced some interesting results, Chile won't fear Spain and could rattle them.
Its very risky to take Chile and fade Spain, I would love Chile to win or at least draw but they are playing one of the best teams in the world.
This will be a good game to watch, no need to bet on every game

Chile also hasn't been able to find their finishing touch. Only one goal against Honduras and only one against an out manned Switzerland team for almost 60 minutes? Chile's formation will leave them prone to Spain's attack I think if they are patient enough to exploit the gaps. Spain needs to win to qualify. If they draw, they have to have Honduras win over Switzerland to qualify or Honduras draw Switzerland. Both seem pretty unlikely with how poor Honduras has looked. Spain will be going for broke here. Not to mention, the win will likely see them finish first unless the Swiss absolutely crush Honduras - and thus, Spain avoids Brazil in the next round [barring a Portugal upset].Comment -
Eagles, Chile have lacked a finishing touch because they have been playing midfielders as the striker, Suazo should finally be ready and will be a much bigger thread infront of goal.
Still Chile have a VERY tough game ahead.Comment -
Hell yea thats his style, but he's no idiot man. They need a draw to clinch the first place spot, why would he continue to attack? Sure its his style, but they have to do whats logical to WIN the world cup. Surely they know they will lose with that style of play against the Spaniards.Comment -
Chilie is +707 dogs because Spain is who we thought they were. They got something to prove going in to the match against Chile and if they make it through they'll be met by the Brazilians or Portuguese. They got a tough 2 matches ahead of them and they know it. Spain will show up tomorrow unlike my Italians
Spain -1 looks tasty to meComment -
ive got draw ,Comment -
I am rooting for Spain. But they know how to choke in the big games. I won't be surprised if spain loses. should be a fun game.Comment
