What a time to score your first goal. It's only 20 minutes into the game so far but this is the most impressed i've been with Brazil so far. Neymar has been great, along with Arjen Robben he's been the best in the tournament so far imo. Followed by James,Messi and Benzema. Brazil really need a second goal because Chile can easily score from a quick counter attack.
I just read that before tonights game there was 136 goals at this world cup, so Sanchez' goal was 138. While in 2010 there was only 145 . Bad call on Hulks goal imo, Webb showed a bit too much confidence in his linesman.
Brazil got away with that one,felt sorry for Chile as they never gave up..

See how the pk percentage goes way down after playing for 120 minutes before you take them.
Chile played very well.
Well it is a very rare match that has more than say 2 Penalties in it, in fact it's quite rare to have more than 1 if even that, so it's not much of a sample for an average to mean anything. It's pretty much 100 or 0% most of the time. Unless there's a PK shootout, average of couse goes down then, because there's at least 6 penalties in a shootout and usually more.
Fantastic technique and a great goal, but ive still not seen a better volley than Tony Yoboas

1-0 Mexico at 50 minutes. I think the heat is going to be a decisive factor in this, at times the game is being played at walking pace..

It was a stunning and devastating loss for Mexico with the Dutch tying it in the 88th min and winning it minutes later on a penalty kick. Mexico was the team I'd have been pulling for if the US is knocked out.
All the Dutch did late in the game was make a lot of crosses. Then someone hit a nice goal from outside. Then the Pk happened.
Let's talk about Mexico their players were winning 1v 1 dribbling duals.
They used dummy passing. I don't know why everyone don't try that? All you have to do is make sure the further away pass options line themselves up with the short pass options. And the passer has enough on the ball. Then it is up to the short pass option if he is going to let the ball run or not.if he does then the short option moves up in the flow of play so he can get a return pass.
They tried back heels which look hard, but are easy to complete.
They had three defenders around any opponent who had the ball.
The Mexican team was well coached. __________________

Not everything that Michel Sablon writes down goes to plan. At Italia 90, Sablon was part of Belgium’s coaching staff, and a couple of minutes before the end of extra time in their last-16 match against England, he compiled a list of the penalty-takers. He had just finished scribbling the names when David Platt, in one of those iconic World Cup moments, spectacularly hooked the ball past Michel Preud’homme. “A great goal by Platt. But I was so disappointed,” Sablon says. “I threw the list away.”

Germany up next v Algeria. Incredibly Germany have reach the last 15 WC quarter finals, the last time they didn't was 1950 and they was banned following WW2.
