I felt that way too. Felt cheated out of seeing more of the match. Cunts.
ah well, the cricket's on so we can return to the default position of ignoring wimbledon.

Exasperated, not angry.

which must mean you're really shit then
you must at the very least concede that it's mathematically possible?
Not just mathematically.
If Switzerland beat Honduras by two clear goals and Spain fail to beat Chile, they're out.
And Chile aren't through yet - they need a draw against Spain to be sure of progressing.
Could be a nail-biter for the Spaniards if they don't score early. Chile are a useful side.

Definitely think ireland would've had a chance of winning italy's group, that's for sure.

If switzerland win by any score and spain don't then they're through and spain are out.

Yipchaa!
Ach, genuinely disappointed New Zealand didn't make it through, but Italy going out is almost as amazing a story.
Just tallied it up, and only two groups went into the final round without all 4 teams still in contention to go through. That's a good bloody tournament.

Bad luck Italy! A perfectly good goal disallowed for offside. Slovakia were crumbling by the end.

Italy didn't deserve to go through. They've been rubbish.

I thought they were good second half after Pirlo came on.

Yep, him and Buffon would have made a difference and they could have easily scraped, dived and rolled their way around into the latter stages.
I'll miss them.

Oh please make this happen. Would be a much bigger LOL than aged Italy fucking themselves up the arse. Totally fed up with La Liga hype so if the national team crashed out it would be
I haven't that much confidence in Switzerland getting a two goal advantage over Honduras though, and haven't seen Chile play so no idea what their defence is like or their ability to cope with all that "pretty" passing. Villa does look on form though so I expect they'll get through

Just to repeat, if switzerland win by any score and spain don't win then they're out. Draw would not be good enough.

Chile have looked one of the best teams in the tournament. With the exception of Gary Medel the defence look fairly solid, and Medel's problem is his temperament not his ability as a defender. They have the pace and intelligence at the back to cope with Torres and Villa. Vidal and Carmona are also exceedingly good at preventing pressure on the back 4. IMO it's more likely that Spain will have trouble dealing with Alexis Sanchez than Chile will struggle at the back. Capdevila is great going forwards, but not necessarily the guy you want facing somebody nearly as tricky to handle as Messi.
I see it as most likely a narrow win for Chile.
