Got the semifinals I predicted. Both should hopefully be great matches.

Germany is going to crush us on Thursday :'(.
Just wait to see the pathetic excuses, like "we were missing Guardado" or "we did our best", while the pathetic excuse for a coach completely slays the team functioning by putting in players in positions they don't play on, and who haven't played at all. Just he can brag about how his bullshit coach style "works" (and the apologist will go wild too).
But hey, some of them may get hired by European teams!

That doesn't say much, since very few teams have accomplished that.
Try to use your brain next time if you want to troll and have some success
Nope, not at all. Not being stylish doesn't mean they're mediocre. New Zealand were mediocre, bordering on bad.

Rankings are skewed as you get the most points by beating teams above you and the type of game played.
So Europe and sth America stay up the top but Asia rarely played those teams in competitive games.
We (Asian teams) only really jump rankings if the do well at world cups.
Our two best players were rested too (mooy and rogic).
They are injury prone and three games in a week is too much for them.
We travelled further (by a lot of km) and had less rest days than Chile too.
Our last couple World Cup qualifiers are coming up next month and we need moot and rogic fit for that.
We had golden chances against Germany, Cameroon and Chile but don't have the finishing at international football yet.

Everything is prepared for an European sausage final.
probably the worst match Chile has played in this Cup. Pizzi got it all wrong, I think he underrated Australia.
On the other hand, Postecoglou's team was set up pretty much perfectly. The fact that they were constantly kicking our players around helped a lot, too
Now... Portugal.

It says everything.
Football is a minor sport here, and we drew with you guys, people who cry about this sport.
We'll happily win world championships in other sports, yet this is it for Chile.

First, sorry if I've sounded like a dick, sometimes I'm way too blunt, but I do that with my team too.
Today we didn't deserve to advance to the next round cause we were plain and simple pathetic, and that allowed your team to look good, but Chile in a good (normal) day should have win this clearly.
Anyways, it's pretty clear to me Germany is the stronger team so far and my bet when it comes to end as champion.

Congrats to the other 3 teams. As some other dude said above, those two matches look like they will be fun to watch

I'm cool weon
I keep stressing this was an Australian team without its two best players. Both midfielders. Lecckie was also a sub and he is generally a starter.
If they play, our midfield is ten times better. No joke.
I also agree Germany are streets ahead of the three other teams in the group, but objectively the other three teams are pretty similar on their best days.
Don't be fooled by the flamboyant haircuts and tough-guy stickers on the Chileans.

Chile didn't have to win though. Even losing was enough for us.
We tied the match, we kicked you out of the tournament.

I'd like to see Chile-México in the final game, but I think your team has zero chance against Germany, those guys are like a damn machine, restless and extremely efficient.
If Chile "remembers" how to play football (unlike today) I can see them winning against Portugal, but it will be a tough match.

I'm Thinking 3-1 or 3-0 to Germany.
A blinder of a game by Christiano Ronaldo is the only realistic thing stopping Germany in my opinion.

No, but that is not the point. If the Australian b team is mediocre, and you guys drew with us after being outplayed, I wouldn't get your hopes up weon.

Mexico may beat Germany because they are like those jelly-like things that grow in the water, and they absolutely thrive when the water is a stronger team. Germany's squad is pretty young, I wouldn't bet on them.
Oh you don't get it. Australia didn't even want to win. They didn't come to this tournament hoping to win. Those pro players are actually rugby players in disguise. But for Chile this is it, you're done for. Delete your country.
That dude is a clear troll. Don't reply to his posts.
That score will only happen if Mexico plays like complete shit. If Mexico loses it'll be by one goal.

I heard the same thing in the last two Copa America. The ones we won
Good luck next time though. Maybe you will even be able to get past group stage mate!

Nah I'm not trolling.
Chileans think they played badly, unwilling to concede they were outplayed for the majority of the match by Australia. Yeah the score was 1-1 but Australia, and Chile, should have scored more.
Both these teams won't win any international tournaments if they don't take some of the chances they were gifted today. You only get one or two chances against a world cup winning calibre team and you need to take them.
Both teams will be 'also rans' yet Chile will put their team on a pedestal. So I find that amusing.
BTW, football is popular here, way more than rugby, but it doesn't get support financially or in the media because we win at other sports, people want to support winners.
It's 3am here on a Monday morning. A troll doesn't get up to watch a football match at that time.

That's one of the reason I'd love a Chile-México.
IMO, it would be such a fantastic match cause México would try its best to defeat us and have a "revenge", so no speculative game, tons of tension ,both teams playing like there is no tomorrow, everything what a final needs.
We'll see. As I said, I just can't imagine México beating Germany, and if Chile plays like today, we have no chance at all against Portugal.
I'm still mad at how crappy our performance was today.

We have been past the group stage before. I hope that next year we will again (if we aren't drawn against Brazil or Germany in our group once again).
But yeah, I like Chile and I have many Chilean friends (they are currently keeping me up on whatsapp, I've been there five times), but this team won't win a wc sorry.
I saw Brazil v Australia a couple weeks ago, that team will run circles around this Chilean team in October.

Mexico's midfield is going to need to bust out a Kaio-ken for Germany. Assuming Osorio actually decides to play midfielders. Picking Germany regardless.
I think Chile will take it over Portugal due to volume of chances.

I see a red card happeing.
Who ever gets it, loses the match.
Mexico vs Germany? who knows, Germany is weak defensively and so are we. Whoever scores first wins I'll say
Good thing Mexico doesn't play tomorrow lol.

Bernardo.
Outside of Pepe (since he Pepe'd it up for no damn reason lol) both teams *should* be at their full strength (at least considering the 23 they have available right now), which is always a plus. On the downside we're playingAndré Gomes, so that's 10 vs 11 right there lol
In any case, hope it's a good match!
