I'm so happy Chile won its first game.. could have been more goals, some misplays but w/e we won and got 3 points against a turtling team. Not winning would have been really bad, specially with Switzerland beating Spain.

My brother wasn't at his apartment so we put a friend's TV there and did drinks + barbaque at 7:00 AM lol. Happily everything went good. Repeating this monday, adding night celebration aswell hopefully.

Game Analysis:




It was inevitable that Chile dominated the ball trough the whole game, as it happened. Worst case scenario was Chile failing to score, and maybe losing to a counter atack (Spain lolz) while best case scenario was 4-0 ez game. Chile did win, however 1-0.

I think playmaking and strategy was awsome. Going foward, good passes, not random balls to the front. It made me proud to see Chile play like that in such a nit WC.

They did seem really nervous, specially at begining. During the game it seemed to fade away BUT it seems in the last 25 meters they did fuck up a lot of scoring situation due to panic.

In the defense, they did well considering they defended with few players, but Honduras strikers sucked. They pressured really hard, forbiddin Honduras to do elaborated plays; they were always forced to throw ball foward to strikers. They did rush a bit too much sometimes, more calm might have been better at certain situations. Vidal was really good with timings on getting the ball back at midfield.

On the offence it seems if they get their shit together they are gonna do really good stuff. Sanchez showed good he is, even though he miss goal a lot. He can still do a lot better.

Group Situation:

Switzerland's victory over Spain puts Chile in a tough spot. In 2nd round Spain is gonna beat Honduras and Switzerland can aim to tie against Chile, and later secure qualification against Honduras on 3rd round; losing to spain would have forced them to try to win vs Chile. Chile is forced to win vs Switzerland now, cause Spain on 3rd round will have only 3 points and go all in vs Chile; playing them with 3-4 points would be really risky. Even winning vs Switzerland, if Chile loses to Spain and Switzerland beats Honduras it would come to goal difference. With 6 points we put pressure on Switzerland to beat Honduras, and also to go for "score difference" advantage. On the brighter side, if Spain fails to beat Honduras they are fucked up no matter what unless Chile loses. Also, with Spain's today defeat, chilean chances to advance as first in group increases. TBH, I love the team and think they are awsome but dodging Brazil would be great. I trust Chile can take any other team heads up.

Post ur comments on today Chile's game =). Wanna see what foreigners think about our team.

Also props to Uruguay, they didn't choke like mexico to an obvious inferior team and secured a solid win (plus I bet money on both to win vs SA, so this puts me slightly on the positive)

DO NOT POST COMMENTS ABOUT URUGUAY OR MEXICO =) (unless u talk first and more about chile
)

im part chilean and i really liked the movement of the chilean team but think u guys lack in a good player to finish the play... sanchez and a few others make good moves but from todays game seem to be semi weak finishers.. could have easily been a 4-0 today


also i think spain is in the tough spot most of all.. they will have to win which causes desperation in which case gives room to counters and whatnot.. i think chile has a decent chance vs spain and about even to small edge vs switzerland imo
