    ttt - this one gets started in a few hours.

    Going with Brazil 2-0

    If Chie keeps trying to attack like they have so far, they will get blasted imo. I think they can score some with that tactic, but are likely to give up around 4.

    Brazil just scored again to go up 2-0 in the 38th minute.

    Brazil is so tough. They're also a lot of fun to watch

    Brazil is just massive. They are overpowering Chile right now.

    Brazil has owned Chile, and I mean OWNED Chile over their last SEVERAL meetings. It's seriously not even a contest.

    We only think Brazil is good because we're posers.

    Still very pre-mature. Plenty of teams left have the style and skill to stifle Brazil and score on them as well.

    I laughed when ESPN Streak for the Cash they had the choices as either Chile- Win, Draw, or lose by 1 or Brazil wins by 2 Goals or More. Brazil is certainly looking very good right now.

    that was a fantastic goal right there.
  • Laley23
    Another brilliant display of dribbling from Ramires. That was fantastic. Oh, and Robinho's one time finish was beautiful as well.

    This is why I picked Brazil to win it all.

    I think the most impressive thing about Brazil's squad is that for as much as they are known for their playmakers and their offensive firepower....this team probably (at least imo) possesses the two best right backs in the world. Maicon and Dani Alves. That is some serious depth right there!

    It's crazy. Alves can stake a really legitimate claim to be the best right back in the world, but he lost out to Maicon and hasn't been able to get that spot back. But he is so good that Dunga needs to put him on the pitch somewhere so he plays midfield. Or think of Michel Bastos who plays as a winger for Lyon but has to play as a left back to get in the starting 11 for Brasil

    Robinho barely offsides or it's 4-0.

    Complete sidenote: But I hope Howard Webb is the official for the final. I think he is a fantastic referee. Ive always thought he was really good in every game Ive watched of his (although I missed the Egypt - Brazil encounter in the Confed Cup last summer.

    The quarterfinals are setting up to be pretty epic. Brazil - Netherlands and Argentina - Germany should both be terrific.

    A very safe bet would be the winner of those two matches making the final. Spain is the only team outside those four with a legit chance to make the final
