I always forget he's chilean, which is why I often forget why chile are considered a threat. they don't have oodles of talent but the quality they do have is spread well thoughout the team and they've got good players in important positions. Vidal is well capable of bullying the netherlands midfield out of the tournament.

Interesting starting XI for Spain in the friendly vs El Salvador today:

No Vidal for the opener... Will be interesting now since Chile have lost their most important player.

Oh no! They will get rolled by Australia!

I feel this group along with group D are the groups of death. This group has two potential teams that may win the world cup.My prediction, Spain and Holland qualify. Chile and Australia occupy 3rd and 4th.

Yup, two potential teams in Spain and Chile.

Will be interesting to see Spain XI especially in their midfield setup & how they play.

Will Xavi start and will they continue with the tiki-taka or will they play more the the Madrid sides this season.

Expected Dutch XI & formation, but with both X-men & Busquets starting, instead of Koke - I guess we can say "Tiki-Taka" style continues for Spain.
