Chile coach mad as a hatter, well almost

Chile coach, Marcelo Bielsa, has insisted that his side are determined to pull off a shock and beat Brazil in the last sixteen knock-out stage when they meet on Monday.

Now, we're far from sane ourselves and calling someone mad would be like us throwing stones in a glass house, but we are going to call this man mad - or an evil genius with a cunning plan.

"Historically, they are a team to fear," said Bielsa. "This latest version retains all the creative footballing aspects of this country [Brazil] - to which they have added aggression and forcefulness. But we will do the impossible to ensure that things don't come to an end too soon for us."

We have no idea what he has in store and Chile didn't do too badly in Group H; they won twice and lost to Spain 2-1, so this game on Monday could be very interesting.

We are all of a sudden looking forward to it and we would love it if Brazil were knocked out - not because we don't like Brazil, but because if they are gone, every team can start to believe they can win.
