Group B: Spain, Netherlands, Chile, Australia

[Johnners]

Smitteh the real winner here

 

[Cabinet96]

Didn't deserve that. Australia definitely good value for at least a point.

 

[The Sean]

Smitteh cheering that goal louder than any other Australian right now.

 

[NUFAN]

Well Foster got his wish. He wanted us to lose 3-1 but press, press, press.

Forgot about that. Well done DCYE!

 

[Spark]

about as good as could reasonably have been expected but still cruel. 3-1 not a fair reflection of the match at all.

 

[Pothas]

A lot of fun that was.

Chile were poor second half but I just love that they have people like Alexis Sanchez upfront and then Jara at the back.

 

[Tangles]

Thought we were good for a draw before that. If chile defend like this vs Spain and Holland... Rofl

chile were poor from about 20 minutes in imo. second half was just a continuation of what had happened at the end of the first.

 

[The Sean]

Yeah, fair effort that. Reckon we deserved a little better. Held in there really well after that diabolical early showing.

Chile won't be striking too much fear into any other teams on that showing. I reckon they'll play better against Spain though.

Come to Sydney fur a beer bra

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

Much better than expected really, could easily have gotten a point.

Leckie's second half was great.

Yeah this

Good to see Oz some attractive football as well

 

[dermo]

just happy it was actually a contest to watch, wasn't looking good after 15 mins.

even if we go on to lose every game as long as its a contest and we aren't getting flogged ill be happy

 

[dermo]

good curtain raiser for the world cup next year this is

Agreed. As the PM noted, hopefully Milé Clarke and the lads will do well in the cricket WC.

 

[Ausage]

On the plus side I had $20 on Chile 3-1 into Sanchez first goal scorer at $55. Just need Australia to find the ability to knock one in at the other end. If only Casillas had a Chilean mother.

Well in!

 

[Ausage]

Anyway just a shame how it turned out. Chile's second goal gets rightly called out for being **** defending but I thought the first was equally bad. Lack of urgency in the box is unforgivable.

Other than that 2 minute period we were much better than I expected. Hopefully we show that level of play against the rampant Dutch.

 

[Dan]

Every time I put money on a sports result, I lose. So if I back Spain and the Netherlands here, we may sneak away with a couple of draws
