I did like Russia vs. South Korea. Good chances to both teams, and sadly the Russian goalkeeper commited a rather dummy mistake, but he's not to blame... It was a well balanced game after all, so I'd say the draw was alright.
Today will be it. This is the scenario (all of these assuming Netherlands will beat Australia today):
1. If Chile manages to beat Spain that's it, Spain's out and both Netherlands and Chile would pass (Chile would get 6 points plus what they could achieve vs. Netherlands, and the maximum Spain could get would be 3 points if they beat Australia).
2. If Chile ties the game vs. Spain AND also ties vs. Netherlands (or beats them, either work although the latter is very unlikely), game over as well, because Chile would end up with 5 or 7 points, Netherlands 6, and the maximum Spain could achive would be 4 if they beat Australia in the last round.
3. If Chile ties the game vs. Spain, BUT loses to Netherlands, Spain would need to beat Australia by a wide margin to overtake Chile in the goal difference, and/or be helped by Netherlands (depending on how many goals they score against Chile). Currently Spain -4, Chile +2.
In other words, Spain MUST win today if they want to even have a chance, but I'm pretty sure (and hope) Chile won't make it easy at all. If they end in a draw, Spain will have one foot outside of the cup, and if they lose, d3d. Can't wait, would love if point 1 or 2 happened, haha.
