    Have to say I'm already sick of the Chilean gamesmanship and they're only three games in. Too much wingeing and diving.
    (Except from Vidal and Isla whom I love)

    This has probably been mentioned in one of the other threads, so I'm sorry. But why have the times for this weeks games changed? I know there's extra games to fit in but it's weird there's only 2 times a days now

    Holland very organised here, seriously more so than the last game

    The are sitting very deep and not pressing the Chile defence, looking to draw them in and hit them on the counter

    All final round group games in each group must kick off simultaneously, so no team has the advantage of knowing what result they need.

    Second time today I've heard a commentator talking about a player 'opening his legs'. Maybe since David Coleman died the phrase no longer has embarrasing overtones.

    Stuck in work. Anybody know of a radio stream I can use on iPhone?
    Most of them block their match streams for Ireland, I've been using an Austalian one that uses BBC commentary but that's obviously got the Australia v Spain game on :(

    SBS Radio 2, search for it in Tunein radio app. It had every game up until today using BBC 5 live commentary.

    There's some very one sided refereeing going on.

    No goal but few shots on target and decent enough play. Id say it wont end without a goal.

    If ever the insult, "You're mother is a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries", has been applicable to just one man, Dirk Kuyt is it.

    I'd say about 90% of the Chileans are and around 60% of the Dutch are.

    Sneijder has done nothing in the 3 games so far, been extremely poor, constantly loosing the ball

    This Chile team would piss you off rightly if you weren't a neutral, I would think. Simulation, imaginary card waving, surrounding the ref, bitching everytime the opposition so much dares to fart.

    If that wasn't a corner then it was a penalty. Cillessen was stupid there and shouldn't have dived in. You just can't take a player out like that.

    The manager is the worst of the lot. Deplorable sportsmanship. I wanted to support Chile this year too. Hate how common the gamesmanship has become sours the wins for so many teams for me.

    Great to see the wholehearted approach of this Chilean team. They are prepared to charge down shots unlike many of the players we see in the EPL who turn their backs on shots.

    I still like Chile. I think they have a nice bit of flair and they work hard. Couldn't care less about the card waving or whatever. Robben is still a bigger cry baby than the lot of them

    Up to a point but why aren't they going all out to win this, a draw is no better than a defeat for them.

    Edit: maybe they will now
