HALFTIME WHISTLE -


Chile - 0

Spain - 2




Switzerland - 0

Honduras - 0



First things first. Can FIFA do everyone a favor and put all the referees in front of a Firing Squad once the WC is over? Seriously, this is the worst refereeing I have seen in a WC in my life so far. Giving that poor Chilean player a second Yellow and subsequent Red card when he wasn't even looking or even touching Fernando Torres is glaringly harsh. It soured up the fabulous moment when Spain had hit their 2nd goal, courtesy of Iniesta through a superb pass by David Villa.

Damn the refereeing.

Chile have their work cut out. Not only are they trailing by 2 goals, but they are down to 10 men too. Beausejour had a couple chances of scoring but blew it, but now it remains to be seen if he will be as attacking as he was in the first half. Spain will look to keep possession as much as they can, and secure the win.

This makes the Switzerland - Honduras tie very interesting, now that the score reads 0 - 0 over there. Switzerland need to win with only 1 goal to pip Chile into the Round of 16. Spain look pretty much secure, unless Chile pulls out some big rabbits out of their hat in the second half.
