I would. Chile have an incredible high tempo pressing game, that the very best teams would have problems playing against.
Aussies are woeful. I can't remember seeing a team that was so disorganized than this. They're all over the place.

Oh absolutely, Chile have nothing to worry about defensively so can really turn it on now. Pretty much an exhibition match from here on in.
But still great to watch Chile in full flow.

The BBC DOG is much better than the ITV one!

Australia should never have been allowed to switch from the Oceania zone to the Asia zone.
At least when they were in the Oceania zone, they had to beat a stronger country from another continent in an inter-zonal playoff to qualify for the World Cup.

I thought the reason Australia moved to that group was that it would give them tougher games to help them improve. The Oceania group is incredibly weak.

Well, it hasn't done much good on the basis of this display.
You can understand how the Aussie backline is bad since the best striker they have to defend against in their league is Emile Heskey.
