Spain beat Chile tonight, and then Holland lose their final game - with Spain winning and winning by a big score.
In addition, Chilli would have to beat the Netherlands with Spain scoring another 8 goals in their next 2 matches if the Dutch score no more.

Group B so far for those asking if Australia are definitely going home:

Netherlands 2 games played - 6 points 8 goals!!
Chilli 1 game played - 3 points 3 goals
Australia 2 games played - 0 points 3 goals
Spain 1 game played - 0 points 1 goal
If Chile win or draw later they're definitely out, if Spain lose they're also officially out of the tournament.

Strange that ITV have relegated Chiles to the later match. Or is that considered a better time?
Might think he'll be better discussing Croatia, since I think he supports them.
Didn't Matt Smith say to Andros Townsend something like "you'll be joining me in Sau Paulo" meaning for the England Game. I dunno, Chiles has been getting a lot of stick, maybe ITV have noticed.

Means Smith will be at the stadium doing the same role Dan Walker does for BBC while Chiles anchors back in Rio. That is probably why he did the early game and Chiles the late one, because Smith has to fly to Sao Paulo.

You're probably right, Was hoping maybe ITV had managed to wangle a box at the stadium to broadcast from, like they do for every domestic game.

Shame we don't get that for any of the games, I would have thought space could be found for the broadcasters from the 2 teams involved.

Wish I hadn't missed this game!! Judging by the result it was a good one, I can't believe Australia only lost to Holland by one goal, fantastic effort by them

Great to watch, don't very often feel sorry for the Aussies but I thought they deserved something out of the game. Remarkably, they weren't just desperate under-dogs, Australia looked the better side for long periods ! I can't see The Netherlands going all the way on the evidence of that game.
Many couldn't see Spain going all the way on the evidence of the Switerland match four years ago either. People are so capricious. Your prospects are only as good as your last match I guess. Honestly, the Dutch are still contenders. Sure I think the Spain blowout may have over amplified their outlook a bit. But rather than slate the Dutch I think the Socceroos deserve credit. But mostly, how many sides, especially the most fancied teams, look invincible right now? Not many. I'd say most of the supposed power sides look more vulnerable right now than the Dutch even with their little unexpected adventure with the Aussies.

I was 7 and my best memory is:
My dad watching with his brother as 15 of us including neighbours gathered round little telly, kids: "Hunt you XXXX!!" (rhymes)
Me: Mum Daddy called Hunt XXXX"
Mum: "Yes, now stop saying that and watch Hurst"

Awwww RVP - I feel sorry for Aussies.


Excellent memories for you!!!
