My injuries are healing up. I need to indicate my choice of Chile to win tomorrow. The only way Brazil can take this game is if FIFA interferes via the referees they way they did to steal the game for brazil vs croatia.
The chilean team has better fitness and speed and constant pressure high intensity mode of play that Brazil just doesnt have the team to handle. Brazil has a very weak midfield as well as a supremely overrated defender in David Luiz. Not to mention their lousy strikers. I expect Brazil to struggle to hold any meaningful chunks of possession.
Their youth will likely result in a panicked approach when they do touch the ball.
Some will think Neymar can turn this game in Brazils favour with a few flashes of brilliance. To those who say that, my response is: yes Neymar is good and may make some plays but Chile aint no Cameroon my friends !
Given the odd Brazil worship that so many in the world including FIFA tend to engage in, I definately expect the officiating to tilt in Brazil's favour. Whether its as scandalous as the "robbed in broad daylight" approach the japanese Brazil worshipping ref took remains to be seen. Hopefully FIFA felt enough anger and backlash for the outrage that was necessary for Brazil to even make it to the second round will restrain any brazen attempts to force Brazil through.
In any event, even if FIFA cheats today, brazil will get crushed by winner of Germany vs France.
So Chile, better team, with a roster and style of play that are perfect to overwhelm the glaring weaknesses of Brazil should take this. Barring referree match fixing Chile will win.
