Great, great goal by Fabiano and great header by Juan. Kaka certainly is back in form. DK

They can only beat themselves, and displays like this are why -- when they are on (and they haven't been, really, for the whole 45 minutes), you can't stop them. Chile had some play in the first 10-15 minutes, but, after a great header by Juan and a wonderful pass (onside!) to Fabiano, 2-0 is flattering to Chile. I expect a cynical second half. Mike

Only a few of the elite teams have any chance against them. Their energy level is impressive and all 11 of them are very good at controlling the ball when the dribble. Compare that to the US who only have Donovan and Dempsy who can control the football.

If Kaka doesn't get sent off or suspended -- he was called for a shirt pull on yellow (and, by the Laws, that should mean red). But you just said it: They can screw up 80% of their chances and still so outclass the other team, it looks like there's only one side on the pitch. Mike

When you're this good, you can foul up many of your chances, and still get gems like Ramirez's run to free up Robinho and there's no prayer at this point. Mike |
