Brazil have rode their luck so far, this is a huge step up in quality
Variation on a theme
The only prediction I'm willing to make about this match is that it'll go to extra time.
All the pressure is on Brazil, they've coped with it so far, but Chile are no mugs and will have plenty of support. Sooner or later, Neymar will have a bad day at the office, they can't keep on relying on him.
Its the same half as Columbia, France and Germany! Think Brazil will beat Chile but will do well to reach the final.
I agree, Brazil have been good at putting in crosses in this tournament and that plays right into Chile's weakness. If Tim Cahill is causing massive problems for Chile in the air then imagine what Neymar and co will do.
Saying that Chile as a team are better but Brazil have better individuals. Interesting contest!
Scolari has even said he has 'blind faith' in Paulinho.
Howard Webb has got this game - hopefully won't be influenced by the home support and has a decent game.
(With a Chile win)
Unfortunately i can only see Brazil going through. I think they have actually been a bit under rated.
Neymar I think will be the difference as well.
Lol
but surely if they go a goal or 2 up, Brazil will get a penalty when they go anywhere near.
16 matches, each more important and decisive than anything we've seen before in this tournament, and the only permutation involved is that the winner goes through and the loser goes home.
We also enter the territory of extra time and penalties too - and I wouldn't be surprised if one or possibly both was needed to decide whether Brazil or Chile continue in this World Cup.
Would love to see Chile prevail but can't see it happening. Brazil to win.
