World Cup 2010 last 16: Brazil v Chile

The earlier game today is our bet of the day - you won't lose money on the Dutch, but you could lose money on Brazil tonight as we think Chile might have something about them.

Okay, chances are Brazil will win but Chile came second in their group to Spain on the same points - they will not be a push over and you know what, we actually want them to win.

We want them to win because we want Brazil out. It isn't that we do not like Brazil or people from Brazil - it's just that if they are not in it - others will believe they can win and we think this tournament needs this.

Match Details

  • Venue: Ellis Park, Johannesburg
  • Date: Monday, 28 June 2010
  • Kick-off: 8.30pm

Brazil

The most successful team ever, in terms of the World Cup and the current favourites to win it this year too, but they can lose and we think there is a chance they might, before getting to the final this year.

It might not be against Chile tonight and if it isn't, we think it might be against the Dutch in the quarter finals.

Chile

This Chile team, we hope, are going to surprise us tonight. We would love it if they won, for them and also for every other team in the tournament and one day, Brazil are going to lose and not make it very far.

Opposition View

Brazil coach, Dunga
I think that the motivation of any sportsman is to actually try to breach a pattern. We cannot spend our time comparing ourselves with our opponents. We have to try and improve as much as possible and that is exactly what Chile will do.
Chile coach, Marcelo Bielsa
I think the psychological aspect is always very important in a competition. It's more of a factor of motivation for us in my point of view. We have the chance to reverse a historical negative trend for Chile.

Prediction

Our head and heart say Brazil are going to win this but my big toes says Chile, so we are having a cheeky fiver on Chile. We accept we could lose this money but it is a risk we are willing to take.
