There is a theory in football that refs rarely hand out cards in the first 5 min, you have to murder someone. Refs just want to feel out the game.

We could have had 2 already, but there you go.
 
There is no alliance like in CONCACAF where everyone loves each other

Tell a Mexican supporter to root for the US and you'll get slapped. Probably vice versa.

There's a lot of smaller footballing nations in CONCACAF that (to be honest) no one really cares enough about to hate (who would really hate on Trinidad and Tobaigo or Jamaica), but rest assured the more powerful nations in CONCACAF don't like each other either.

*Referring mainly to football squads, but there are obvious geopolitical concerns when it comes to Mexico and the US
 
Howard, please please please give a yellow to Neymar when he does dive in the penalty box. It is all I ask for in this game.
 
Realistically I cannot imagine a scenario in which FIFA would let Chile kick Brazil out.
I fully expect a wave of red cards & penalties, should Chile lead by 1-2 goals after 60mins or so.
 
Whatever the foul or incident, Howard Webb inevitably loses. I almost feel sorry that he gets the big profile games where players have fiery / theatrical temperaments and act like idiots instead of just getting on with it. I guess we'll see how it turns out.
 
Neymar is like one of those fast but really delicate (pause) andalusian horses. Just doesn't seem very resilient, even if he is a wonder.
