Back to reality for me today after a two week vacation. Real life sucks.

Surprised a thread hadn't already been started for this game, so here goes:

Brazil v Chile line-ups:

Brazil: 1-Julio Cesar; 2-Maicon, 3-Lucio, 4-Juan, 6-Michel Bastos, 18-Ramires, 8-Gilberto Silva, 13-Dani Alves, 10-Kaka, 11-Robinho, 9-Luis Fabiano.

Chile: 1-Claudio Bravo; 4-Mauricio Isla, 5-Pablo Contreras, 2-Ismael Fuentes, 8-Arturo Vidal, 11-Mark Gonzalez, 6-Carlos Carmona, 18-Gonzalo Jara, 9-Humberto Suazo, 15-Jean Beausejour, 7-Alexis Sanchez.

Referee: Howard Webb (England).

Hey, England still have some representation in the WC.

First question that comes to mind, even if Chile are the designated 'away' team how come they aren't playing in red? There's no colour clash, is there?

[Infield Infidel]

The loser of this game will be the first South American side eliminated

You do figure that La Roja would have put on the red kits.

I'm worried Brazil is just going to have too many counter-attack opportunities for Chile to stop. I'm glad they're going to continue to play the way they have under Bielsa.

Pablo Ramirez is delightfully insane. "Luis Fabia-NO! Luis Fabia-NO!"

He's one of my favorite announcers. His energy is awesome.

Edit-And his partner, Jesus Bracamontes, is great, also.

Oh, that's interesting. They were just saying there's a rumor that Mexico may be looking to replace Aguirre with Bielsa.

[Bosoxen]

Brazilians are doing an awful lot of flopping here.

Edit-And they get a picture-perfect header. Wow.

Juanderful header

[Billy R Ford]

Nice header by Juan, Brazilians were bound to take advantage of all the corners they've had eventually.

[EastCoasterOutWest]

Somewhat against the run of play, but nice header.

o jogo bonito

That looked offsides.

Edit: Never mind. Played perfectly.

[EastCoasterOutWest]

At first glance that looked offsides.

And the replay confirms he was on. Beautiful team goal.

[Bosoxen]

Man, this game turned quickly.

Edit-I thought it was offside at first too, but it wasn't.

[EastCoasterOutWest]

Beautiful work up to a horrid finish by Chile.

[ifmanis5]

Sigh. Another potentially exciting match-up gone one-sided. Not a lot of great games in this tournament so far.

[Ahriman]

Lucio does an awful lot of flopping for someone who constantly is posturing and barking at the opposition.

Anyone aware of a site where games can be listened to em Portugues? All of the Brazilian sites give me a reply that says international access denied.

'brigado!

[Ahriman]

That was a pretty blatant shove. No whistle.

[Bosoxen]

Jesus, they made that look easy.

[ifmanis5]

More drama in the Kagan hearing. This one's done.

[mikeford]

Ho hum, I hope the mighty Oranje put up a better fight.
