7-0 lol.. Could have probably been 10-0 which would have been the biggest victory in WC history.

Game getting really testy. Players are diving all over, lots of contact and cards being issued. Pushing and shoving and crying!

Haha that Swiss dude straight flopped by covering his face and the chilean player got a yellow out of it.

Even with how crappy this match has been the Swiss have set a record for time without goals conceded 557 minutes and counting. The old record was 551 minutes.

lol and just as I post this Chile gets a goal....

Is the first tiebreaker head to head, or goal differential?

First tiebreaker is goal differential, then goals scored, then head to head, then random draw

Yeah, there's no way Ivory Coast is making up a nine goal difference.

That sucks. I was hoping the Swiss would have an upper hand on Spain with the tiebreakers.

Well, Ivory Coast could conceivably beat N Korea by like 5 and Brazil could beat Portugal by 5. But I dont see it.

Chile is REALLY fun to watch. But they blow at finishing. They could have had about 5 goals vs Honduras and like 4 more today.

Pretty pumped for this Spain match coming up. Looks like Torres will get the start up top this game.

David Villa, wow. I cannot wait to watch him up top with Messi and Iniesta out wide for Barca next season. That attack is going to be just sick.

As for this game, Spain just cant finish right now. The final pass is just off, and when its perfect (a few crosses) the head balls are atrocious. But thats what happens when the headers are falling to guys who usually pass (Xavi and Ramos...although Torres needs to score his).

I also would like to see what Spain could do with Iniesta out wide and Navas/Silva/Fabregas on the other side and move Villa up top with Torres. You would obviously have to take off Alonso or Busquets for this though. I also dont know if you want to move Villa away from out wide because he his having himself a game.

Goal Spain. David Villa. Not sure where it was going before the deflection, but after it is in the back of the net. 2-0 Spain.

Stupid fucking Dish keeps messing up because of the storm. Nice goal by Spain.
