    Diving, rolling about, cheating, slow subs, cards etc

    These chile lads are pusses, they must watch a lot of Spanish football. Seriously they all need to be told man up.

    New rules should be

    No player allowed to put ball out of play, ref decides

    Play stopped = 5 mins on sideline

    Dives = yellow card contact or no, refs must stop waving guys up

    Rolling on ground = opponent free to kick player in nuts

    Spain are out! TBF to Chile, that's one of the best team performances I've seen in this world cup.

    Chile are a balanced hard working team... Good forwards, untested defense. We will see when a good side plays them ;) Spain did a lot of this to themselves too many legs missing that were untouched and like I said Torres coming all said itself

    Bayern showed the way... Now everyone has twigged to press the guys who are tiring

    Spain were gash and Chile fully deserve their spot in the next round. I can see the headlines tomorrow being all about the end of 'tiki taka' but it's not, Spain just need to put the pace back into their attack and have their big players step up. Xabi was awful tonight and the whole play was meant to go through him.

    Brazil's odds might well get shorter after tonight.

    My bet on Chile is looking good <diva>

    I'd fancy them against Brazil they way they're playing as well, although on current form they may even beat Holland and finish top of their group!

    What IBWT said, plus we don't have the same type of quality of players that Spain have.

    Imagine if England had chile and the Netherlands in their group.... Be thankful uraguay crawled into the wc and have issues and then italy are bad

    We could have had a worse group and I'll maintain we've a decent chance still, uraguay could be weak... They should smash us per 2010 team but I don't think that's where they are and I really think Suarez must be struggling even a little

    It's all down to hodgson IMO... Defensive = go home go for it and we've a chance

    Which is why he's not in an actual job... It's not even defending it's ball retention, control, passing

    Has welbeck got Jesus and all the saints backing him or a deal with satan cos just about everyone in the world outside this forum wants the useless f to play

    If you want a guy to play like a headless chicken fine....

    I didn't want Welbeck to play pre-Italy but he played well in that game. You can't call him a headless chicken as if anything he was too cautious in his approach and played the safe ball rather than take a few more risks.

    Him and Johnson linked up well down that right hand side and he does tend to play/score more for England than United.
