    If Torres fell into a barrel of tits he would come up sucking his thumb.

    If you'd said 5-1 to Nehterlands you would've gotten some funny looks!

    Lot of people predicted the Dutch to be eliminated with Chile & Spain progressing.

    If they can repeat that performance then they'll top the group. If Spain continue that form they'll drag their heels into second place, if they're lucky.

    An in-form Chile would have had no bother putting away that Spanish side, not so sure about the Aussies.

    Netherlands to go through no.1, the no.2 spot is up for grabs!

    Like Sadlier said, their goal difference will be a massive problem.

    Chile, Netherlands and Spain could easily all end up on 6, and I don't see Spain getting a better GD than Chile or Netherlands.

    Definitely would be a challenge, they'd need a complete turn around!

    They'll either learn from this and come back fighting, or it'll come apart a the seams like France a few years back.

    One of the great historic world cup matches in that you can say.. this is the moment when the baton was passed on from one one great team.

    Bye bye Spain, you were great while it lasted.

    I'm no football fan, but that was so entertaining to watch. Hope even half the games have that much excitement. Will make the next month tolerable.

    It will be more difficult without the steroids, mind.

    I also think Australia are being incredibly underestimated. Could see them getting at least a1draw to throw a spanner in the works. Really think Group B is the one to watch.

    Well, Chile certainly just showed the world how to do your anthem right.

    Put a fiver on Chile to make the semis at 9/1 the other day for the craic. 50 euro coming my way if they somehow make it! Their chances of making it out of the group at least look a little better after that match earlier.

    I'm part of the universal set known as everyone and I didn't adore their football most of the time

    At their peak it was fairly predictable they were going to win and win in what may have been a very skilful but nonetheless slightly robotic depressing way with eleventy million passes and the odd goal or two most of the time

    They just throttled all the life and spontaneity out of opposition teams imo and I got sick of them…..controversial maybe but I like more of an element of unpredictability to most sports, I don't like teams or individuals dominating for long periods of time, I like not being too sure who's going to win because if I did know what was going to happen most of the time I wouldn't bother watching most of the time

    Same in f1, if theres not some element of doubt then its just boring.
