Chile actually NOT sittting on 1-0 lead?

I'm not in the "boring" camp. 0-0, 1-1 or 1-0 is not automatically
boring, I'd expect that from American "goals should be 3 times larger
types, but not from RSS.

S. Africa-Uruguay, Brazil-N. Korea, Argentina-Nigeria, US-England, for
example were good.

There HAVE been some snoozefests mind you, like the France game.

Going back to Chile, I wonder if they'll play an open game vs. Spain.

England's football wasn't very good, it seems like they're still a
longball team, after all. But I agree with the rest and would add
Germany-Australia amongst the better ones too.

This is Chile and it's how they play. It's a simple game: everybody
defends and everybody attacks, supporting each other in all movements,
it's how football is supposed to be.

You expected that? You aren't familiar with Bielsa's work and
philosophy, are you? ;)

I think we will. Bielsa plays attacking to the end. For example,
during the qualies we played an attacking game against Brazil, in the
Maracaná.

Come on, Will, don't feed such bullshit claims. British commentators
moan about 0-0, too, and a 5-4 game is always referred to as dramatic
and entertaining, 'what we came to see', etc, etc. This notion that
only Americans are bored by nil-nils is utter rubbish.
