Where do I start today. Australia. Great effort. Looking forward to see what they bring in Russia when their players have a little more experience under their belts. They clammed up the central midfield and really stifled the Netherlands. That wasn't nearly as comfortable of a victory as I had expected but still with every Australian goal I felt confident that the Dutch would have a response. It's a good thing they can score though because I still feel the Dutch will leak goals to Chile. RVP out is going to hurt them, I'd wager, as they do not want to place second as I'm pretty sure Brazil will be waiting for them. I actually fancy Chile to leave group B in top spot now.

Spain. What a mess. I don't even know what to say. Del Bosque was wrong to expect that his aging, slower team can still play possession-based football. A pressing, aggressive team like Brazil paved the way in the CC final last year and I had a feeling that at the very least the Dutch would give them a drubbing, and I was right. Nobody is making neat little runs anymore, in midfield or in the box, being even more important now that teams are pressuring them all over the pitch. They don't have the outlets they once had, the players are static as hell. When Ausfailia and its youngsters are putting in a better showing than you you know you've done something horribly wrong. I see hope for Spain for the Euros in France, but they need to ditch a bunch of dead weight, realize they need to play a different style (including learning how to play with a number nine) and they need to incorporate their youth more. Spain have dominated the U21's for the past few years and that group needs to feature more, not just Azpilicueta and Koke (and Thiago if not for injury).

Chile is looking good. Their work rate is incredible and they've really caught my eye with how well the front line has meshed together. That first goal today was fantastic. If they can eek out a 2-1 or 3-2 over the Netherlands (quite probable imo) they could really challenge later on in the tournament. Momentum in a short 7-game final like this means a lot, and Brazil's has been slowed a little..

Gonna make for an exciting end to group B at least. My 2c.
