As a Chilean supporter, I can't explain the horror I felt when they conceeded that deeply stupid first goal. They started off pretty well but Gonzalez couldn't capitilze early on. Spain could have also easily scored early. Bravo is a good keeper but temporarily went insane, he should have stayed in his net and let his D play one on one. The nearest player was another Chilean so they should have been alright. And if he needs to play it, blast it so far it goes into the ocean.
Chile played well in the first 2 games and dominated but today Spain showed their class. Chile didn't. Chile looked good at times but discipline is always their undoing. They are hot heads. Now they face Brazil without Medel and Ponce, two of their back 3. And when you consider they've racked up a dozen yellows this tournament, it doesn't look good.
I was surprised to see Millar come in for Gonzalez but it was the right decision and he was fortunate with the bounce on his goal. After that, Spain shut it down and barely mustered an effort. The last 10 minutes were hard to watch. I found myself gravitating to the Honduras game, thank God they blanked the Swiss. Chile deserved to go through as they are better than the Swiss, and if you can't score against Honduras you deserve elimination.
To think, Chile could have tied if they didn't let in that ridiculous first goal. But who knows, if it's a one-one game, Spain wouldn't sit in a defensive shell and anything could have happened. VIVA CHILE, MIERDA!

You can get chili in Chile. Chilean food generally isn't spicy itself but most people like to put hot sauce on their food. If you're chilly, put on a sweater.
