    I wasn't too impressed with the dutch in their second game ( although I was in a bar in Portugal and under the influence ). I'd be leaning towards Chile getting something out of this game.
    You should not confuse your career with your life.

    I don't think Holland will get within an asses roar of winning the tournament.

    Me too. 7/4 on Chile with RVP out is surely a very decent bet.

    The Dutch are basically a poor premiership team with RVP and Robben (Blind decent). Sneijder now operates at the level of a Tom Cleverley.

    IF Chile play with the same intensity as against Spain (or close) they will win. You would imagine for all the fact I think they would beat them that Chile would prefer to avoid Brazil..

    The only reason to want to avoid Brazil is that their the host nation and might get some favourable refereeing decisions. I've seen nothing in their play to worry a decent side.
    Ah! but a man's reach should exceed his grasp......

    Actually, I think Chile draw no bet at 2.08 is the way to go in case the game lacks the intensity needed for them to eke out a win.

    Agree with Chile and also the dnb as the best option, but there is a good chance Chile will rest a few players, they have qualified already and with their hard pressing game it may be wise to leave some key men on the bench, particularly Vidal who is not long back after an injury.

    I've backed Spain minus 1 for my sins. No point in giving them up on them now after losing a fortune. I can see Torres driving me mad but I think that is half the fun.

    I'm addled from the cricket ...

    Robben behaving like a dick again, he's been conning the ref from the start.

    Not sure why the Dutch aren't getting any love around here but if Robben stays healthy they are major players.
