Chile-Brazil might end up being good. The first game, not so much.

Welcome back Arjen Robben...... GGGGGGGGGGGOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Very nice Goal. Holland should win this one. Brazil vs Chile looks like it should be a really good match.

Come on Oranje! Here's hoping my Dutch can finally break through...a match-up versus Argentina in the Finals would be magical for me.

Nice handle and pass by Kuyt and goal by Sneijder...wasn't pretty today, but the Oranje are through! Elia's going to be special one day.

Vai Brasil!!!!!!!!!

What's the story with Robben? Did he play any of the games in the first round?

He was injured. Hurt himself with a stupid little backheel in their last warm up match.

Robben is 26, looks like he is 46, and is as brittle as the average 66 year old..... but he sure can play when healthy.

He's 26?!! I never knew, I thought he was closer to 36.

brilliant corner kick by Maicon and header by Juan...that's how you maximize a set piece. Chile should have never allowed 4 Brazilian players to bunch together like that.

Fabiano scores now...2-0 Brasil!

Brazil sure can finish. They've had a couple of beautiful goals.

Final score 3-0. Brazil is a cut above everyone else, I would be shocked if they don't win the whole thing

I'm calling it now, Brazil vs Germany in the Final.

Argentina's going to rape Germany...their inexperience will eventually catch up against a talented team such as Argentina.

I don't know if Argentina's win over Germany will be all that violent, but I do agree they are the better side of the two. Brazil is obviously a factor, but Portugal and the Netherlands are in there, somewhere, provided they get by Spain. Any of these six could take it all.

That it how it has always been in the World Cup. Even with 32 teams in South Africa playing in the first round, their was maybe 5 or 6 teams really who had a chance to win the 2010 World Cup.

What a game by Brazil. Robinho had a great game.
