Game Over - Entry nr 100.
This will be the last entry of this blog. If you are a new reader, start from the beginning which was in February 2010.
When I started this blog, I did it because I was looking forward to seeing Chile play at the World Cup again. One of my fondest memories of football was when I was 15 years old and Salas, Zamorano and the rest of the Chilean football team took the world by storm at the World Cup in France 1998.

1. Wasted Scoring Opportunities
During the first two games, Chile were so superior the other teams and could have scored by many goals if they had not wasted their opportunities. If Chile would have a better goal difference, they would have been number one in Group H and played against Portugal, which I think are a weaker opposition than Brazil.

I have added the stats from rounds 1-3 to see which continent have had the best World Cup so far.
Points

1. America: 12 wins - 8 draws - 4 loss: 1.83 point average
2. Europe: 15 wins - 10 draws - 14 loss: 1.41 point average
3. Asia: 4 wins - 5 draws - 6 loss: 1.13 point average
4. Africa: 3 wins - 5 draws - 10 loss: 0.

Chile lost in the round of 16 against Brazil, again. Just as in, almost on the day, twelve years ago at the World Cup in France 1998. That time, Brazil was up 3-0 at halftime but the game ended with 4-1.
Chile started the game very well, they were fearless and had pressure on the Brazilian who were pushed back to defense.

Chile wins: 7
Draws: 12
Brazil wins: 46

The day after. Chile has qualified to the round of 16 against Brazil this Monday. Even though Chile lost to Spain, Switzerland could not manage to win against Honduras. These results lead to Spain winning Group H with 6 points but with better goal difference than Chile.
The game started in a somewhat slow tempo, and Chile had a golden opportunity to take the lead when M.

The match tonight will be played in Tshwane/ Pretoria at the Lotus Versfeld Stadium. It is an old stadium built in 1903 and renovated in 2009.
