Brilliant to see Spain go out. Third World Cup in the last four the defending champions have been knocked out in the first round. Chile look good and they could go far. Shame for Cazorla though, he made a difference and looked their best player when he came on. With Xavi dropped, even at 2-0 down Fabregas couldn't get on. 😆
In the sweepstake I organised at work I made a third prize for the team with the worst goal difference in the group stage, expecting it to give those who got the teams like Iran or Algeria a chance. Looking like it will be the person who got Spain! 😆
Netherlands-Australia was a great game too. Shame for Australia, they could have got at least a point from both their games so far. Really fancied them to do the incredible when they took the lead, and with a better option from Oar when he fired at Leckie's chest, they might have done. That should have 3-2, instead it was 2-3 immediately. They have been impressive though. When the draw was made everyone expected some big thrashings so they have made a really good account of themselves. Cahill now has more World Cup goals than Messi, Ronaldo and Rooney combined.
