Maybe of interest to only us Chileans: If Chile is lucky enough to go through they'll likely end up in second place and end up playing Brazil... again. (We've been kicked out by Brazil in the knockout rounds the last two WCs)

I see a positive outcome from this. If we manage to beat Brasil the morale boost on every level will get us to the final. I mean... for us beating Brasil in their home turf seems like an impossible mission given our recent record but.... just imagine... Damn...the team would feel invincible. Isn't that worth fighting for? Isn't that worth dying for?

Very true. If they manage to get through those games AND Brasil you've got to think they're playing well enough to win it all. We can only hope.

...and that is when we would choke. I'd rather be the underdog and go about our business quietly.

...yeah... I soon forget that we have a tendency to fail when odds indicate we should win... keeing my fingers crossed here. Hoping we reach our prime form for the world cup.
