Chile were great. Looking forward to them knocking out Brazil.
I had them to not qualify from the group at 3/1 before the the tournament started.

England losing to Chile last year doesn't seem so bad anymore.

Spain, lol, terrible terrible team choice and worse substitutions. No Fabregas, or Villa, both should have started. Pepe in goal was a no brainer, Busquets has been woeful in both games and Alonso has been woeful in both games.
Chile were great though, Vidal was phenomenal and Sanchez was fantastic till he tired around 65-70th min, around there he had a 10 min spell where the right touches and choices and this game ended up 5-0 or something.
Spanish manager inherited a team and a style, managed to get credit for two more cups where Spain barely had to change. This cup when players needed changing he was found out completely, made none of the big calls required before the cup. Went with Costa despite his injury and poorer performances in recent weeks.
Then after the first game, not dropping ALonso, Costa or Silva is unforgivable with better players on the bench. Pique, not sure he was worse than Ramos or anyone else but Martinez could have done a LOT more in central mid over Alonso than he could do in defence.
Torres as a sub in two games, woeful in both, not bringing on Villa.... ridiculous. Cazorla over Fabregas... you what? Poor manager, every call he needed to make for this cup he got wrong.
