Chile is choking.
Kudos to Chile! They gave Brazil and its massive fan base, a run for their money.
This is not a strong Brazil team compared to past clubs. If this tournament were anywhere else but Brazil, they’d be out.

Chile played the nearly perfect road game, but Brazil pretty much carried the play most of the time… Save for some dents in the woodwork, the home team could’ve made an untimely early exit.
Congrats to both teams for an exciting Round of 16 opener.
I still believe they will reach the final and win. This is just like March Madness when one of the Cinderella teams gives one of the favorites a scare. Brazil will be a better team after this. They will destroy the winner of Columbia-Uruguay.
Who is the favorite in the Colombia vs Uruguay match up?
Dunno, who do the Brazilians hate less ;?
BTW, did Uruguay spring someone from prison to tend goal ;?
Goooool Colombia!!!!!!
The game will open up now.
Colombia will get a few more.
This second match of the day is pretty boring aside from the Rodriguez goal, which as one of the top 5 of the World Cup.
Don’t underestimate Uruguay. Even without Suarez, they are still a very good team, organized at the back. They need more offense, but their defense is still pretty solid.
The second half will pick up in action. It is win or go home. No playing for a tie.
Great goal by Rodriguez to put Columbia up 1-0 at the Half ... Not much the goaltender could do against a high, well-placed shot.
Maybe it's asking too much to stand in front of a ball struck at 60 MPH to make a block – I guess as a hockey fan I'm used to seeing guys sell out.
Well 1 more anyway. Colombia advances to face Brazil in the next round.
I hope Brazil plays as shitty as they did today against Colombia.... James Rodriguez is the new Maradona....
Chile is much better than Uruguay. Brazil will be Colombia 3-1.
