Turns out I wasn't wrong (so far).

Spain is doing even worse than France in 2002 or Italy in 2010

congrats to Chile for moving on.
Hopefully Spain revamps their roster with younger players and we can be back in the euros.

Any possible new coaches for Spain?

I didn't know Andre Agassi was such a good coach.

I would've expected to see some of the Spanish players laying on the grass, crying with palms on face but no. They look like they don't even care.

Chile - Netherlands will be a heck of a match

Vidal is gonna cost Chile at some point. He's so nervous and unpredictable out there.

Its been almost a decade since Italy won anything. You don't have much to brag about sorry.

Anybody feel sorry for Diego Costa?

TheAdmiral · Post #714 » by **TheAdmiral** » Wed Jun 18, 2014 9:04 pm

On the one hand, I'm happy Spain just got eliminated. On the other hand, I'm annoyed to watch them go out like this, especially because I feel like they'd have been one of the few sides who could potentially embarrass the **** German national team.

Anywho, congrats to Chile for advancing.

I won't say that...to me they looked like they expected it. And tbh, it was inevitable...though maybe not like this. They only know one way to play, and when that's not working, they're almost clueless. Clearly the 5-1 loss did more damage than we thought.

Barcelona, Real Sociedad Agree To €12M Transfer Of Claudio Bravo

Jun 18, 2014 3:32 PM EST

Barcelona and Real Sociedad have finalized a €12 million transfer agreement that will bring goalkeeper Claudio Bravo to the Camp Nou.
Barcelona and Bravo had reached an agreement on personal terms weeks ago and following his World Cup campaign with Chile and subsequent holidays, Bravo will go straight to Barcelona.
Bravo is 31 years old and will give Barcelona depth in goal replacing Victor Valdes.

He certainly didnt look completely healthy today. Still played a top game.

Should be, but both teams might just play for a draw and not stress themselves too much.

Actually the winner gets to avoid Brazil so it's kind of a big deal

Who advances from Group B?
