    Match Highlights – Spain vs Chile

    Some might say that it’s the end of an era, for but now, it’s simply Chile beating Spain 2-0 with goals from Eduardo Vargas and Charles Aranguiz, which means the defending world champions won’t be in the round of 16 while Chile secure their qualification from one of the top two spots in Group B.

    Match Highlights – Australia vs Netherlands

    The best match of the World Cup so far as Australia were able for about an hour to outplay the Netherlands until they ran out of gas. Eventually, the Dutch managed to come through with a dramatic 3-2 victory that keeps them on top of Group B and pretty much secures their place in the round of 16 unless something completely unexpected happens as the trio of Arjen Robben, Robin van Persie and Memphis Depay scored for the Oranje.

    Match Highlights – Chile vs Australia

    Two very different teams met in Cuiaba to end the second day of football and the first round of matches in Group B. Chile played a brilliant first half, enough for them to beat Australia 3-1, relying mostly on Alexis Sanchez and his skills with a goal and an assist, while Tim Cahill gave Australia a fighting chance and hope for most of the second half.

    Match Highlights – Spain vs Netherlands

    Everything written about the weakness of the Dutch side can be scrapped. Two goals from Robin van Persie and two from Arjen Robben led the Netherlands to an incredible 5-1 victory over Spain in something of a revenge match to the previous World Cup final, coming back from a goal down after the defending champions got a penalty kick they didn’t deserve.

    The second day of the 2014 World Cup isn’t just about the Group B headliner and a rematch of the previous final between Spain and the Netherlands, but also gives us the second match in Group A which should be enjoyable as Mexico play against Cameroon while we also have somewhat dark horse candidate Chile playing against Australia.

    World Cup – Group B Predictions

    Something of a Group of Death, Group B in the 2014 World Cup has the two previous finalists in Spain and the Netherlands, but also a very good team like Chile with plenty of expectations and an Australian side that isn’t really likely to qualify, but will probably be a very difficult outing for all three opponents.

  • Euro 2012 – Day 10 Summary (Portugal vs Netherlands, Denmark vs Germany)

    Cristiano Ronaldo answered the critics by scoring his first two goals of the tournament, as Portugal took care of the Dutch and left the Netherlands with a shocking 0 points and a humiliating exit for Euro 2012, while Germany, as expected, beat Denmark to finish the group of death with 100% and the top spot.

    Despite winning both of their matches so far, there an actual chance, although small, that Germany can find themselves out of the running in Group B, although a draw would suffice in their match against Denmark. For the other ‘early’ group of death favorites, the Netherlands, it’s only about beating Portugal, and winning big.
