Spain v Chile

:01:01. > :01:04.evening, four years ago Spain lost their opening game but went on to

:01:05. > :01:06.win the World Cup, of course. They did not, however, take a beating

:01:07. > :01:09.like the one they received against Holland on Friday. The Spanish

:01:10. > :01:22.empire is on the brink of collapse. The Spanish Empire, built over many

:01:23. > :01:27.years from solid foundations. Feared and respected in equal measure. They

:01:28. > :01:35.conquered Europe, and then the world. They became gods amongst

:01:36. > :01:40.men, until one day in Salvador, when the Empire was shook to its very

:01:41. > :01:49.core. At first, domination looked certain. Then a flying Dutchman

:01:50. > :01:57.arrived. Cracks began to appear. The assault was relentless, and the

:01:58. > :02:04.Spanish had no answer. The result, no one could have predicted. A

:02:05. > :02:10.reputation in ruins. Could this be the end? Or can the champions

:02:11. > :02:22.rebuilt and reclaim their trophy? Spain have arrived at the Maracana.

:02:23. > :02:32.Del Bosque has made changes. Iniesta remains but Pique and Xavi are out.

:02:33. > :02:36.Chile were 3-1 victors in their opening game. Victory tonight would

:02:37. > :02:47.send them through to the second round, and send Spain home. It is La

:02:48. > :02:51.Roja against La Roja. Rio, you thought this might be one tournament

:02:52. > :02:56.to father the Spanish, but even you could not have envisaged what went

:02:57. > :03:00.on in the first game? No, you can't. It would have been embarrassing

:03:01. > :03:04.after that result, it sent shock waves through everyone who watched

:03:05. > :03:07.the game. To be honest with you, you don't become winners without

:03:08. > :03:10.becoming fighters, that is why I am interested to watch the game. These

:03:11. > :03:14.guys have been through a lot and they have won a lot, and they will

:03:15. > :03:17.be wanting to show that they are not finished. They will have been

:03:18. > :03:21.waiting until this time, and they would have been thinking I want the

:03:22. > :03:25.game, to get it out of your system. You can only do it by playing and

:03:26. > :03:30.winning the next game. Do you think it could work as a wake-up call in

:03:31. > :03:36.many ways? That is the way to put it. A great wake-up call. We can

:03:37. > :03:40.imagine a great game with them today. I think they are great

:03:41. > :03:44.champions, they did it the eight years and they are definitely going

:03:45. > :03:49.to react. It is a team that has shown in many moments that they can

:03:50. > :03:55.come back strong. I expect that today also. It won't be easy for

:03:56. > :04:02.them, Chile are a tough side. It is going to be difficult. I think Chile

:04:03. > :04:05.must be happy to play Spain, because you saw them playing against

:04:06. > :04:12.Australia and struggling because Australia plays more direct. I can

:04:13. > :04:26.see this group finishing six, six, zero, zero. Double group. They have

:04:27. > :04:33.to respond. Do you expect them to? -- devil group. I expect so. The

:04:34. > :04:40.other two teams in the group met, as Holland took on Australia in an

:04:41. > :04:50.absolute thriller. COMMENTATOR: The Dutch currently 15th in the latest

:04:51. > :04:56.rankings. Robben, it and Robin, real danger for Australia, and it is 1-0

:04:57. > :05:06.to the Netherlands. Clinical again from our year and Robin. -- from

:05:07. > :05:13.Arjen Robben. The underdogs have made a great start, is there a

:05:14. > :05:23.response? Tim Cahill has done it again for Australia! Two goals

:05:24. > :05:29.inside a minute. Tim Cahill. Appeals for hands against Janmaat. It is a

:05:30. > :05:41.penalty to Australia! It is conclusive. This could be a huge

:05:42. > :05:45.moment. Here comes Jedinak! Is cool. -- ice cool. Iain Lee dispatched.

:05:46. > :05:50.That was not in Louis van Gaal's script. Australia back in numbers,

:05:51. > :05:59.Wesley Sneijder takes charge, van Persie, he is onside, 2-2! Robin van

:06:00. > :06:15.Persie with the equaliser! Here's de Guzman. A long way out! And he has

:06:16. > :06:19.scored, Memphis Depay has put the Netherlands back in front! STUDIO:

:06:20. > :06:28.That result means the Netherlands have one foot in the quarterfinals,

:06:29. > :06:32.the last 16 I mean. Australia are almost certainly out. The final

:06:33. > :06:38.group matches are on Monday. I think your mob, Clarence, have content

:06:39. > :06:41.attain. Hopefully. I expected a difficult match, because in the

:06:42. > :06:44.second half, Australia against Chile, they had a really good half

:06:45. > :06:51.and they deserved a little bit more. Still, the Dutch showed they have

:06:52. > :06:54.goals, they have skills, dangerous all the time, but they have to be

:06:55. > :06:58.careful at the back. Eight goals in two games, it is not a bad start.

:06:59. > :07:02.Not a bad start but today they gave away a little bit too much, and that

:07:03. > :07:06.has to be analysed and taken care of. But every time they go and

:07:07. > :07:15.attack, you can see they can score a goal, any time. I caused teams

:07:16. > :07:20.problems. I don't know if I can say I like the way, but they are more

:07:21. > :07:23.direct. You do not see a lot of teams playing long balls behind the

:07:24. > :07:27.defence and sometimes that is the only way. Rio will tell you you

:07:28. > :07:32.don't like those type of balls, and what a finish from Tim Cahill. He

:07:33. > :07:38.has that in his locker, you see it every day in training. That showed a

:07:39. > :07:43.bit of character to come from behind, a slightly dodgy penalty

:07:44. > :07:47.decision against Holland. Yes, I did not agree with that but Holland

:07:48. > :07:50.showed they could do both. They got into the game, they noticed it is a

:07:51. > :07:55.different game, you have to react, you have to respond mid-game. They

:07:56. > :07:58.did that by hook or by crook, but these type of tournaments you have

:07:59. > :08:03.to be able to kind of find a way and that eventually found a way. When

:08:04. > :08:06.you have quality players like Robin van Persie and Robben, you will

:08:07. > :08:16.always be in with a chance. The iconic Maracana Stadium is the venue

:08:17. > :08:21.for the night's game. Welcome to an incredibly noisy Maracana. It looks

:08:22. > :08:25.fantastic. I know Neil Lennon is very excited about watching a game

:08:26. > :08:29.here and what a venue for such a high-pressure match between Spain

:08:30. > :08:32.and Chile. It is a magnificent venue, almost the spiritual home of

:08:33. > :08:37.football alongside Wembley. Of alleged to be here. We are all

:08:38. > :08:41.looking our lips in anticipation to see which way this game will go.

:08:42. > :08:46.Huge pressure on the world champions to win this game of football. Take

:08:47. > :08:52.us inside the mind of the manager if you can, Vicente del Bosque have

:08:53. > :08:56.tried -- has tried to remain positive, but you know that the

:08:57. > :09:00.footballing vultures are circling, always looking for an end to an era

:09:01. > :09:05.the Spain, they know they have do deliver. There is a fascination when

:09:06. > :09:09.you see sporting dynasty is like this Spanish team on the brink,

:09:10. > :09:13.maybe, of almost going under. We will all be sitting on the edges of

:09:14. > :09:18.our seats today. The 5-1 defeat to Holland must hurt. There is no doubt

:09:19. > :09:21.that even with the experienced del Bosque has, there will be

:09:22. > :09:25.butterflies in the stomach, a bit of nerves, but he has the experience,

:09:26. > :09:30.big game players with the mentality to handle it. But they will come up

:09:31. > :09:38.against a very, very mobile, very forceful, very confident Chile team.

:09:39. > :09:43.Yes, they will all be on the edges of their seats, envious of those

:09:44. > :09:48.two. The Spanish team are out on the pitch, it has been five days of

:09:49. > :10:00.soul-searching after the horror show against Holland. The countless words

:10:01. > :10:03.uttered by the Dutch, from front pages the cosy park bench chats

:10:04. > :10:09.between coach and keeper, one word is heard above all others: Control.

:10:10. > :10:15.We are all used to Spain selecting this moment of giving the ball to

:10:16. > :10:19.the opposition. But recently, it seems, their vice like grip on

:10:20. > :10:25.possession of the ball has weakened. Control has, for now, been lost.

:10:26. > :10:30.TRANSLATION: I am not saying we were brilliant, but we were able to

:10:31. > :10:36.control the midfield initially. But then we must recognise that in the

:10:37. > :10:41.second period we were a mess. What about the reaction back at home?

:10:42. > :10:44.There was a sense at least in the immediate aftermath of sadness, that

:10:45. > :10:48.this was a early in the generation and a sense of sadness that it might

:10:49. > :10:52.end like this. So while there was anger and frustration, there was

:10:53. > :10:55.almost a desire to clutch Spain to them and say it is going to be all

:10:56. > :10:59.right, let's make sure this ends well, if it has to end. Del Bosque

:11:00. > :11:03.returned to the dressing room post match to find his goalkeeper pouring

:11:04. > :11:07.his heart out to his team-mates. Yes, Casillas came in and basically

:11:08. > :11:12.said it had been his fault. It is a way of taking the focus away from

:11:13. > :11:18.the team. But that is exactly where the fingers are pointing, where the

:11:19. > :11:19.control once was, teams, systems, nothing lasts for ever. Is the clock

:11:20. > :11:28.ticked talking on the attack? TRANSLATION: They don't need to

:11:29. > :11:31.change the style but they do need to apply it like they used to. Rea

:11:32. > :11:36.there is a tendency to look at the first game and say Spain needs to

:11:37. > :11:40.change. Most Spain player so we need to do we do and do it well because

:11:41. > :11:44.they traditionally control games. What was so striking was that they

:11:45. > :11:50.did not control it in the first half an hour at all. TRANSLATION: Reign

:11:51. > :11:55.we trust this group, we have earned their right, we have earned the

:11:56. > :12:06.credit of trust. Of course they are entitled to believe this. There are

:12:07. > :12:09.a handful of players who have had very bad seasons, Gerard Pique is

:12:10. > :12:13.one example of many. Since the 1st of April he has only played 90

:12:14. > :12:16.minutes for his club once. There are big issues they need to work

:12:17. > :12:22.through. They believe they have the talent, and to be honest with you, I

:12:23. > :12:27.think they are right. There is Diego Costa. He does start the Spain, he

:12:28. > :12:30.kept his place despite not a bully and performance in the first game.

:12:31. > :12:36.As for the rest of the team, Rio is here to talk us through it. In goal,

:12:37. > :12:41.Casillas get another chance after those mistakes against Holland.

:12:42. > :12:47.Pique is out, Ramos has to take charge and work as a pair with

:12:48. > :12:52.Martinez. Busquets in midfield with Alonso, staying deep, and Xavi is

:12:53. > :12:58.dropped. Whoever thought we would hear those words? Silva keeps his

:12:59. > :13:02.place. Up front, he get another chance, but can Spain adapt their

:13:03. > :13:09.style to get the best out of him? We will see. Rio, the Spanish defence

:13:10. > :13:13.was all over the shop. To be honest with you, you have to work as a care

:13:14. > :13:19.in the central defence. In this game, they didn't. Pique is not a

:13:20. > :13:24.bad position but Ramos and the Jordi Alba have to get alongside him. They

:13:25. > :13:27.have to cover if the ball goes behind him. Ramos, another day, when

:13:28. > :13:32.you are not dealing with world-class strikers, you might have taken a

:13:33. > :13:36.touch and taken the ball of Robin van Persie. But world-class, puts it

:13:37. > :13:40.in the back of the net straightaway. This one here, they transfer the

:13:41. > :13:44.ball from right to left. Pique has to be pulling Ramos across the

:13:45. > :13:49.helped him. Ramos has seen it but not smell the danger. Get across and

:13:50. > :13:55.work as a pair. The ball was worked out left, what a ball it is, first

:13:56. > :14:00.time in the Robben. If Ramos is over there he does not have that space to

:14:01. > :14:03.go into. He is jogging, he reacts, it is too late, ball is in the back

:14:04. > :14:07.of the net. World-class players you are playing with, there is no time

:14:08. > :14:11.to react and make up the mistakes positionally. But they have got to

:14:12. > :14:15.talk. Ramos is the most experienced ad of the two defenders in the back

:14:16. > :14:19.four, and he has to be the one dictating to the other, "you come

:14:20. > :14:23.alongside me, work with me and keep a clean sheet". If they do that,

:14:24. > :14:28.they have a chance of winning the game. As for the other end of the

:14:29. > :14:32.pitch, they have stuck with Costa, do you think he fits? He didn't in

:14:33. > :14:40.the first game, although he created the penalty combat that have to give

:14:41. > :14:45.him a chance. -- the penalty, but you have to give him a chance. You

:14:46. > :14:51.saw that he struggled a bit in some parts of the game in the first game,

:14:52. > :14:55.but it is not only down to him. I want to see how Pedro is going to

:14:56. > :15:00.play. I know how great he can be and that will definitely help Costa.

:15:01. > :15:09.Talking about Costa, it is quite interesting that Brazil seem to lack

:15:10. > :15:15.an out and out striker. I agree with you. Brazil have needed someone like

:15:16. > :15:20.him. And also the Spanish way of playing is so different to what

:15:21. > :15:27.Atletico Madrid have done. If they want to use his skills, they need to

:15:28. > :15:31.play with more direct balls. It is tough to change something that has

:15:32. > :15:35.been so successful? We have to remember that Spain, every time they

:15:36. > :15:41.can get a vertical ball, they will do it. When they get slower and all

:15:42. > :15:45.horizontal balls, just wide and just wide, that is what kills them. So

:15:46. > :15:51.more balls direct to the strikers, so they can make the game happen.

:15:52. > :15:59.Chile have won a number of admirers already. Tim Vickery has the

:16:00. > :16:03.lowdown. Any guide should carry the following

:16:04. > :16:11.warning: When Chile are playing, don't blink, you might miss

:16:12. > :16:15.something. He's fashioned a side that takes the field with one aim -

:16:16. > :16:19.to impose themselves on the game. Chile aim to press high, play in the

:16:20. > :16:23.opponent's half of the field, there is a constant quest to create two

:16:24. > :16:29.against one situations down the flanks, throwing both full-backs

:16:30. > :16:35.forward at the same time. The star turn is Alexis Sanchez, cunning in

:16:36. > :16:39.tight spaces, his defence-splitting passes for Eduardo Vargas have been

:16:40. > :16:43.a strong feature of the Chile attack. Not so many strong features

:16:44. > :16:46.about their defence. Their bold approach does leave them very open

:16:47. > :16:50.to the opposing counterattack and a lack of height at the back means

:16:51. > :16:53.that they really struggle against crosses and those weak points are

:16:54. > :16:59.going to be tested against a Spain side ready to come at them like a

:17:00. > :17:04.wounded beast. For this one, no blinking allowed.

:17:05. > :17:11.GARY LINEKER: If the team need more inspiration, a TV advert for a

:17:12. > :17:17.Chilean bank features the miners trapped - the message is nothing is

:17:18. > :17:24.impossible for a Chilean, "the group of death" doesn't scare us. We have

:17:25. > :17:27.already beaten it! Nothing like a sense of perspective(!) Dirt from

:17:28. > :17:31.the mine has been scattered on Chile's training pitch here in

:17:32. > :17:33.Brazil. The team are out at the Maracana. This is the side they have

:17:34. > :17:37.selected tonight. In goal, Claudio Bravo edges closer

:17:38. > :18:07.to the all-time Chilean record. Alexis Sanchez is the man the

:18:08. > :18:11.Spanish team no well. He plays alongside the quick and direct

:18:12. > :18:15.Vargas. Thierry, Alexis Sanchez had a decent season at Barcelona, but in

:18:16. > :18:21.the Chile team, he is crucial to them?

:18:22. > :18:26.THIERRY HENRY: He is the man. You can see the confidence that he has

:18:27. > :18:30.when he plays for Chile. It is different when he plays for

:18:31. > :18:36.Barcelona. As I'm aware of, when you play on the wing, you have to be by

:18:37. > :18:47.the line and it is not always easy. He is one of the men in Barcelona.

:18:48. > :18:51.But there is THE man. Not to rub it in, that is what you need to make

:18:52. > :18:54.Rooney feel like and then he will deliver. That is very important. As

:18:55. > :18:59.a striker, when you feel everybody loves you and wants you to do well,

:19:00. > :19:03.and expects you to do well, you take charge and you take control. Look at

:19:04. > :19:09.the turn, look at the pass. Vision and everything is amazing. I suppose

:19:10. > :19:14.as well, Rio, with Spain struggling at the back, he could cause them

:19:15. > :19:19.real problems, they will be worried? RIO FERDINAND: At Barcelona, when

:19:20. > :19:24.anyone gets the ball there, especially in it will final third,

:19:25. > :19:27.the first thought is Messi. You see the frustration in Barcelona when

:19:28. > :19:34.that happens. Here, everyone's first thought is to get the ball to

:19:35. > :19:41.Sanchez. He is a threat, a complete threat. They have a unique style of

:19:42. > :19:46.playing, Chile? Unique style, South America. Unpredictable and a lot of

:19:47. > :19:50.speed. First, that is really nice to see. Sanchez, as you are saying, is

:19:51. > :19:55.the biggest threat for them, especially with his speed. Ramos not

:19:56. > :20:00.closing down, they have to have a close eye on him. One interesting

:20:01. > :20:04.story that has come through about a few supporters trying to get in the

:20:05. > :20:09.ground. The stadium staff struggled to deal with the serious failure of

:20:10. > :20:13.security measures before this game. Dozens of Chile fans without tickets

:20:14. > :20:17.broke through a fence and charged into the stadium via the main press

:20:18. > :20:21.centre. A number of the intruders were detained by officials, but

:20:22. > :20:25.others appear to have made their way into the stands after breaking down

:20:26. > :20:32.that temporary wall. The things people will do to see a game of

:20:33. > :20:36.football(!) If they didn't let me in the Maracana the other day, I would

:20:37. > :20:40.have followed suit! That is crazy. The security should be higher than

:20:41. > :20:43.that. They want to get to a football game. This could be a defining

:20:44. > :20:49.moment for the whole Spanish success story, couldn't it? Is it the end of

:20:50. > :20:54.an era? Can they keep it going? It is always going to end one day.

:20:55. > :20:58.Whether they lose in the final, semifinal, or they win this one,

:20:59. > :21:07.they will lose at one point. I guess it is more the way they lost against

:21:08. > :21:13.Holland that left people a bit kind of weird about how the game was. All

:21:14. > :21:17.credit to Holland. For me, we have so much respect for that team and it

:21:18. > :21:23.was going to stop one day. Some people are having a go at them. We

:21:24. > :21:29.have to thank them. They have given us eight great years of football and

:21:30. > :21:32.changed the way of a lot of approaches of coaches, so it is

:21:33. > :21:40.normal that things go down at a certain moment. It is a pity it

:21:41. > :21:43.would have been the way it started. Have teams worked out a way to

:21:44. > :21:48.nullify Spain's style of football? I don't know. You could say that, on

:21:49. > :21:53.one hand. On the other hand, maybe the volume of top quality games that

:21:54. > :21:58.these players have played maybe has taken its toll. You have young

:21:59. > :22:02.coaches now, youth team coaches that have taken on this tiki-taka style

:22:03. > :22:06.of football and they have revolutionised the game. Also,

:22:07. > :22:09.Spanish football was hugely successful in European football this

:22:10. > :22:14.season, so it doesn't necessarily mean it is going wrong? That is

:22:15. > :22:18.something that people don't take into consideration. Xavi, Iniesta -

:22:19. > :22:23.I'm not going to name all the squad - they go all the way every year

:22:24. > :22:26.with Real Madrid, with Barcelona, they fighting for the league. I have

:22:27. > :22:30.been in that position. After seven years of competing in every single

:22:31. > :22:35.competition, your body is telling you one season, you are going to

:22:36. > :22:39.have to take a break. Sometimes you can pay for your own success,

:22:40. > :22:47.Clarence? You can, absolutely. I agree. The Spanish guys, for years

:22:48. > :22:53.have been on the top. For me, we will see a better Spanish side

:22:54. > :22:57.today. Two teams are in the tunnel. Will they bounce back, Thierry? I

:22:58. > :23:04.have been wrong since the beginning of the tournament! We all have! I

:23:05. > :23:09.will call it after the game! I'm going to go for Spain 2-1. They will

:23:10. > :23:15.score a couple of goals late on. That is what we like! Not on the

:23:16. > :23:20.fence! Spain all the way. A lot of goals today. 3-1. I will go Spain

:23:21. > :23:26.then! Good man. It is make-or-break for Spain. Let's join our commentary

:23:27. > :23:28.team, Danny Murphy and Simon Brotherton.

:23:29. > :23:36.SIMON BROTHERTON: This game looked good when the draw was made last

:23:37. > :23:40.December and it is even more anticipated now. An iconic arena

:23:41. > :23:45.awaits. The big question on everyone's lips - was it just a very

:23:46. > :23:48.bad day at the office for Spain last Friday or the beginning of the end

:23:49. > :23:58.for the defending champions at this World Cup? One thing we do know - if

:23:59. > :24:02.Chile win tonight, Spain are out. The Maracana doesn't hold too many

:24:03. > :24:08.happy memories for this group of Spanish players. They were beaten

:24:09. > :24:11.3-0 here last summer in the Confederations Cup Final by the

:24:12. > :24:13.hosts, Brazil. The majority of the red shirts in the crowd are worn by

:24:14. > :25:24.supporters of Chile. SIMON BROTHERTON: Can they bounce

:25:25. > :25:45.back from their thrashing at the hands of the Dutch?

:25:46. > :25:53.# Puro, Chile, es tu cielo azulado Puras brisas te cruzan tambien

:25:54. > :26:03.# Y tu campo de flores bordado Es la copia feliz del Eden

:26:04. > :26:12.# Majestuosa es la blanca montana Que te dio por baluarte el Senor

:26:13. > :26:29.# Te promete un futuro esplendor Y ese mar que tranquilo te bana

:26:30. > :26:52.# Dulce Patria, recibe los votos Con que Chile en tus aras juro

:26:53. > :27:28.# O el asilo contra la opresion O el asilo contra la opresion. #

:27:29. > :27:40.SIMON BROTHERTON: It must feel like a home game for those players.

:27:41. > :27:44.Claudio Bravo, the captain of Chile, leading his team past their Spanish

:27:45. > :27:49.opponents. Bravo winning his 81st cap. There is Gary Medel, second in

:27:50. > :27:55.line from Cardiff City. Bringing up the rear, Alexis Sanchez, their star

:27:56. > :27:59.man. Vicente del Bosque makes two changes to the side from the first

:28:00. > :28:05.game. Iker Casillas keeps his place in game, but Gerard Pique and Xavi

:28:06. > :28:10.are both left out with Javi Martinez playing alongside Sergio Ramos in

:28:11. > :28:15.central defence and Pedro coming in to add attacking thrust. It is the

:28:16. > :28:20.first time Xavi has been left out since the final group game of the

:28:21. > :28:35.2008 Euros. Diego Costa leads the attack once more.

:28:36. > :28:41.Both sides captained by their respective goalkeepers. The man in

:28:42. > :28:46.the middle today is Mark Geiger from the United States. It is his second

:28:47. > :28:55.game in five days. He took charge of Colombia's win over Greece on

:28:56. > :29:11.Saturday. Chile's coach Jorge Sampaoli makes

:29:12. > :29:20.one change. Arturo Vidal and Alexis Sanchez are their two world-class

:29:21. > :29:38.players. Jorge Valdivia makes way. He scored in the first game.

:29:39. > :29:42.as ever in yesterday's media briefing, accepting the criticism

:29:43. > :29:59.from the first game, and saying he does not disagree with it either.

:30:00. > :30:08.Jorge Sampaoli. The Chile coach. So many options of the highest quality

:30:09. > :30:13.the Spain if required the Spain. Chile's substitute list includes

:30:14. > :30:22.Jean Beausejour, who came to score the other day. -- came on to score.

:30:23. > :30:28.Here we go then, for the second group match for these two sides, for

:30:29. > :30:31.what could be a memorable game. Chile always go for it and Spain at

:30:32. > :30:36.some point we'll have to. Danny Murphy is alongside me that this

:30:37. > :30:40.one. Good to see you. Thank you very much. I am excited like everyone

:30:41. > :30:45.else at home, a fantastic evening here at the Maracana. Interesting to

:30:46. > :30:49.see how Spain set up, it looks like Pedro will start on the right with

:30:50. > :30:52.Iniesta on the left and David Silva in the free role. We talked about

:30:53. > :31:00.Iniesta playing that free role, but really excited to see Chile.

:31:01. > :31:05.Hopefully we will see goals. How long did it take you to get from the

:31:06. > :31:09.studio to hear? We were stuck in traffic, then we were stuck in the

:31:10. > :31:12.left and I started to worry that you would do it on your own but I am

:31:13. > :31:18.here now and really happy. Here's Alexis Sanchez spraying it to

:31:19. > :31:26.Eugenio Mena. He loves to get forward. Fidel into the penalty area

:31:27. > :31:30.and almost a deflection. Not far away from an own goal in the first

:31:31. > :31:35.minute of the game. It was a Eduardo Vargas in the thick of the penalty

:31:36. > :31:42.area for Chile. Martinez got his feet tangled up. A little bit of

:31:43. > :31:47.luck for Chile but a nervous start for the Spanish. Chile started

:31:48. > :31:52.quickly against Australia in their first match, they were 2-0 up inside

:31:53. > :32:01.14 minutes. Sanchez with the corner, and the header wide of the goal.

:32:02. > :32:06.Fast start from Chile, this time the header from Gonzalo Jara. Really

:32:07. > :32:10.good start. Exactly what we said, Chile on the front foot, looking to

:32:11. > :32:22.attack Spain. The clearance was not the greatest

:32:23. > :32:27.from Iker Casillas. He conceded those five goals the other day,

:32:28. > :32:32.first touch for Costa upfront the Spain, playing in his native

:32:33. > :32:37.Brazil, and getting it in the EEA from many in the crowd, just as he

:32:38. > :32:50.did in the first game -- getting it in the ear. Dias, who is a key

:32:51. > :32:59.component in the chilly side, Marcelo Diaz. He dictates much of

:33:00. > :33:04.the tempo of the play. Azpilicueta of Chelsea, could not quite keep it

:33:05. > :33:08.in. It is interesting how high the Spanish are. The back four players

:33:09. > :33:12.are pushing up high, trying to play much higher than they did in the

:33:13. > :33:24.opening stages against the Dutch. Maybe they're in tent is to start

:33:25. > :33:27.well as well. -- their intent. I am fascinated by David Silva playing

:33:28. > :33:37.that role. I would like to see more goals from him. He does not score

:33:38. > :33:41.enough from me. Silva was dropped and hardly appeared en route to

:33:42. > :33:50.Spain lifting the trophy last time. That was Pedro getting back. Again,

:33:51. > :33:54.I don't know if you saw Martinez and Pedro clashing, a lack of

:33:55. > :33:59.communication. Holding his head. It is a worrying position in the side

:34:00. > :34:08.for Spain at the moment, they don't seem to be able to find a pair who

:34:09. > :34:10.can work together. Pique was one of those back in Spain heavily

:34:11. > :34:16.criticised after the first match. Javi Martinez, the Bayern Munich

:34:17. > :34:20.player, who has not had such a happy season under Pep Guardiola. He does

:34:21. > :34:31.not really like the role that Guardiola wants him to play for the

:34:32. > :34:35.club side this -- these days. Pedro, and David Silva. Very quickly

:34:36. > :34:40.surrounded by white shirted players. Away by Vidal.

:34:41. > :34:47.He had some surgery on his knee just a month ago, he managed an hour

:34:48. > :34:52.against Australia. If Chile are going to do well in this World Cup,

:34:53. > :34:58.they could do with the being at something like his best. Alexis

:34:59. > :35:03.Sanchez is seeing a good deal of the ball here in the early stages of

:35:04. > :35:15.this game. Here's Silva, the player who has come into the team. It is a

:35:16. > :35:21.bold formation from Chile. The Dow is bombing on early to join up with

:35:22. > :35:27.the strikers. -- Vidal is warming on. It is the first time they have

:35:28. > :35:36.been drawn together in the group stages of the finals. Spain also won

:35:37. > :35:43.2-0 back in the Maracana the last time Brazil hosted the World Cup,

:35:44. > :35:48.back in 1950. A player who will be very familiar to those in the

:35:49. > :35:56.Spanish side there, Alexis Sanchez, from Barcelona. I am pleased to see

:35:57. > :36:00.Pedro starting tonight, that seems to be the general consensus. He adds

:36:01. > :36:04.some pace and athleticism to the Spanish attack. I am surprised he

:36:05. > :36:08.does not start more games for Barcelona as well. He needs to get

:36:09. > :36:12.more end product into his game, as well.

:36:13. > :36:22.Sanchez. Not much room to work in but he will be happy to settle for

:36:23. > :36:29.the throw. Given the way the David Silva. Diego Costa ahead of him.

:36:30. > :36:44.First touch for Iniesta, he was looking for Pedro, surging through

:36:45. > :36:50.the centre. Medel. Diaz who just sits in front of those defenders.

:36:51. > :36:51.Away by Silva. Eduardo Vargas will chase, but it is easy for Iker

:36:52. > :37:05.Casillas. A lot of focus on him after the

:37:06. > :37:11.first match and those five goals, but no surprise, I think, that del

:37:12. > :37:14.Bosque stuck with him. Yes, I think you sometimes need that from your

:37:15. > :37:22.manager, showing some faith. There is a myth about and ageing Spanish

:37:23. > :37:26.side, there are only two players in the side over 30. It is the same

:37:27. > :37:31.with the chilly side, they have no players apart from the goalkeeper

:37:32. > :37:42.over 30 in the first 11 tonight. Iniesta trying to get away from

:37:43. > :37:48.Diaz, but he can't. The iGas. -- Vargas. A little lay-off from Diego

:37:49. > :37:54.Costa. Silva has got Jordi Alba outside him.

:37:55. > :38:09.WHISTLE Iniesta fouled under the referee's

:38:10. > :38:13.knows. -- under his nose. There is a lot of talk about the Chilean

:38:14. > :38:18.formation. I am just looking at Vargas, he seems to be pulling out

:38:19. > :38:23.left, which means Mena is a bit deeper. It is a bit unbalanced but

:38:24. > :38:30.it allows them to bomb on a bit more. We will see how that develops

:38:31. > :38:33.about the course of the first half. A real opportunity for Spain to put

:38:34. > :38:37.the ball into the heart of the chilly penalty area. Busquets up for

:38:38. > :38:43.this one, Sergio Ramos going for the header. We have seen him score a

:38:44. > :38:47.fewer over the seasons will stop big goals. Including in the Champions

:38:48. > :38:55.League final. You look around the Chilean side, there is not much

:38:56. > :38:59.height. We talked about it earlier, from set plays Spain will have to

:39:00. > :39:04.look at it as a real avenue. They still have more power in the air

:39:05. > :39:08.than Chile. Xabi Alonso needs to get his delivery is better than that.

:39:09. > :39:17.Bravo put under a little bit of pressure with that ball. -- his

:39:18. > :39:20.deliveries. An excellent game against England last November, she

:39:21. > :39:27.is good with his feet actually, as well as his hands. Azpilicueta, away

:39:28. > :39:32.from Mena. Too long for Diego Costa. And there is time for Morrissey is

:39:33. > :39:50.let to get the ball away. Sanchez now. -- for Mauricio Isla. Silva.

:39:51. > :39:59.It will be Spain's throw. Despite that early semi-wobble in the first

:40:00. > :40:04.minute or two. It is a good tempo, both teams trying press quite high.

:40:05. > :40:08.It is a big pitch, which means they won't be able to do that all game,

:40:09. > :40:13.of course, but the intent is there from the both sides to win the game.

:40:14. > :40:17.That is the thing with Chile, any match they play will have quite a

:40:18. > :40:20.high tempo, because that is just the way they play. Also, the temperature

:40:21. > :40:25.since have dropped from this morning. It is quite a nice... I say

:40:26. > :40:33.nice, in comparison to some of the games I have been to. 24 degrees

:40:34. > :40:36.here, 72% humidity. Bright sunshine earlier on, but it has clouded over

:40:37. > :40:47.above the stadium. Tidy control from Pedro. Not such a good ball through

:40:48. > :40:50.the David Silva. -- through to David Silva. Sanchez will chase. Ramos

:40:51. > :41:12.beats him to it. The throw given the way of Chile by

:41:13. > :41:16.a deflection off Azpilicueta. We have spoken a lot about Vidal and

:41:17. > :41:23.also Sanchez, but var gas is worth watching as well, the number 11 for

:41:24. > :41:28.Chile, the night -- Vargas. Three years ago he finished second to

:41:29. > :41:34.Neymar in the South American player of the move. He got a move -- South

:41:35. > :41:39.American Player of the Year. He got a move to Italy, which has not

:41:40. > :41:42.worked out to him so. We will see how it develops. He is certainly a

:41:43. > :41:51.talented player, that is the shore, and he knows where the goal is. Xabi

:41:52. > :41:56.Alonso has scored from the penalty spot for Spain against the

:41:57. > :42:01.Netherlands on Friday. He was sailing along quite well at the time

:42:02. > :42:07.in the game. I only saw the first 30 minutes, I was getting on a flight,

:42:08. > :42:10.and they looked in complete control. If they had got the second goal, it

:42:11. > :42:13.could have been a different game. That is why I am not in complete

:42:14. > :42:19.agreement with people writing off Spain, because of one horrible

:42:20. > :42:26.result where the goalkeeper had a nightmare. They have to respond

:42:27. > :42:29.tonight, and shut the critics up, because they have some big players

:42:30. > :42:34.in how to deal with the big occasion. -- and they know how to

:42:35. > :42:42.deal with. Good play by Sanchez initially,

:42:43. > :42:46.hustling and bustling, a powerful figure. Ramos. Martinez.

:42:47. > :43:00.Azpilicueta. This is better from Spain, moving it

:43:01. > :43:06.around well, David Silva was looking for cost. -- for cost. They are

:43:07. > :43:18.pressing again, both teams pressing. Given away by Vargas. Pedro, Silva,

:43:19. > :43:27.coming in and making the foul was Arturo Vidal. I think it is a foul.

:43:28. > :43:32.Trying to help his team out. Fantastic tempo in the early stages

:43:33. > :43:33.of the game. A real work ethic from both sides to win that ball back

:43:34. > :43:50.high art. -- high up. With the set play, what we have

:43:51. > :43:55.talked about, a good delivery is important, use that extra height.

:43:56. > :44:00.Well, they certainly have the players more than capable of a good

:44:01. > :44:09.delivery. There is one of them. Xabi Alonso with the kick. Too long for

:44:10. > :44:15.Ramos. That is two now, that is unlike him. Brilliant technician.

:44:16. > :44:22.Usually a very good set play taker, he will be disappointed with

:44:23. > :44:28.himself. The first hint of frustration from del Bosque. If the

:44:29. > :44:31.ball is anywhere near the back post on a set play, he will be loitering

:44:32. > :44:51.and waiting, Sergio Ramos. Diaz, here comes Spain now, it is

:44:52. > :44:56.with Diego Costa, years looking to set himself up here! Just behind

:44:57. > :45:04.David Silva, Iniesta will keep it in -- he is looking to set himself up.

:45:05. > :45:14.Trying to slide it through, Pedro, the flag goes up on the near side!

:45:15. > :45:36.DANNY MURPHY: This is just after the Costa chance. I thought Costa could

:45:37. > :45:43.have taken the shot early. This one - yeah...

:45:44. > :45:46.SIMON BROTHERTON: Claudio Bravo receiving some treatment for an

:45:47. > :45:50.injury to his forearm. Prior to this, Diego Costa, when he broke

:45:51. > :45:55.away, he got the ball and he dummied to shoot three, four, five times and

:45:56. > :45:59.he took himself wide and then snatched at it. It doesn't look like

:46:00. > :46:03.he's quite got the sharpness. He finished the season with that

:46:04. > :46:14.injury. He had the two false starts at the end of the season, Simeone

:46:15. > :46:24.was desperate to include him, the Atletico Madrid coach. Maybe Del

:46:25. > :46:30.Bosque would have changed it. He might prove us wrong. We will see.

:46:31. > :46:36.Fernando Torres did the media conference at the stadium yesterday

:46:37. > :46:39.with Iniesta, so a number of the Spanish press were wondering whether

:46:40. > :46:45.that meant that he might start the game. A bit of kidology from del

:46:46. > :46:53.Bosque, to keep the Chileans guessing.

:46:54. > :47:08.Mauricio Isla is a bit-part player for his club side. Isla is always in

:47:09. > :47:15.the Chile team. They tell me they nickname him "Forrest Gump" because

:47:16. > :47:18.of his running ability. We will keep an eye on him! Iniesta beaten to it

:47:19. > :47:40.as well. What a season Azpilicueta has had

:47:41. > :47:42.with Chelsea, mostly at left-back, of course, with Jordi Alba occupying

:47:43. > :47:54.that role for Spain at the moment. No chances taken there by Casillas.

:47:55. > :47:59.That is not a bad idea from Chile to play a few long balls in behind for

:48:00. > :48:03.Sanchez to chase. We know that the two central defenders for Spain

:48:04. > :48:05.aren't as quick as him. So drop a few in behind. It doesn't always

:48:06. > :48:24.have to be perfect football. Silva is looking for Sanchez. Isla

:48:25. > :48:29.will continue the run, but won't quite get there. When they were

:48:30. > :48:32.playing out of the back, the two wing-backs are so high, they are

:48:33. > :48:41.nearly playing five men up against the Spanish back four. It's a gung

:48:42. > :48:44.ho type of formation and attitude, which is brave. It will be

:48:45. > :48:47.interesting to see how long it takes for the Spanish to take advantage of

:48:48. > :48:50.that. It really is a cavalier approach playing that high up when

:48:51. > :48:54.they are in possession on the halfway line. It does leave them

:48:55. > :49:04.vulnerable at times. Diego Costa getting his head to that one.

:49:05. > :49:29.Vidal is a focal point of the Chile line-up.

:49:30. > :49:37.Didn't fall to Ramos, the interception by Alexis Sanchez.

:49:38. > :49:45.Could open up here. It is in towards Vargas. He is away from Casillas and

:49:46. > :49:53.Chile strike first! Superb play. Expertly dispatched into the back of

:49:54. > :49:57.the net by Eduardo Vargas! Listen to the roar inside the Maracana.

:49:58. > :50:09.It's a brilliant move, but it is sloppy play from Xabi Alonso. A

:50:10. > :50:14.short ball, intercepted, a lovely pass inside, good feet here, clever

:50:15. > :50:21.pass and to have the awareness to find Vargas. I think it was - I

:50:22. > :50:32.can't quite see who it was. But a calm finish from Vargas. Superb goal

:50:33. > :50:36.and it was created by Aranguiz. Yes. Usually, as a midfield player - and

:50:37. > :50:39.I can tell you from experience - you snatch at a chance. They haven't

:50:40. > :50:44.been in the box that much. To have the awareness to see Vargas. It is a

:50:45. > :50:47.great goal, but it is sloppy play again. The two best chances we have

:50:48. > :50:54.seen from either side have been when they have lost possession in their

:50:55. > :50:57.own third, defensive third. There is a cracking atmosphere inside this

:50:58. > :51:00.stadium. And a real intensity to the game. But there was some true

:51:01. > :51:09.composure there from Chile. Game on! A reminder, if you have just tuned

:51:10. > :51:15.in, if Chile win this game, Spain will go out of the World Cup. They

:51:16. > :51:19.will not be able to qualify. No matter what happens in their final

:51:20. > :51:24.match against Australia. I think I am going to stop predicting results.

:51:25. > :51:30.I don't think I have got one right. A long way to go yet. Just a little

:51:31. > :51:34.way short of the mid-way point of the first half. Should have followed

:51:35. > :51:44.Thierry's method - wait till after the match!

:51:45. > :52:03.Spain are rather on the ropes here. They are far from out of it. Ramos.

:52:04. > :52:13.Closed down quickly by Eugenio Mena. What is fascinating to see from so

:52:14. > :52:17.high up, as soon as you have a cross-field pass, one of them goes

:52:18. > :52:20.and they all follow. It is a deliberate ploy, but it is really

:52:21. > :52:24.effective and credit to the manager for working on it for so long and

:52:25. > :52:29.getting that mentality into the players.

:52:30. > :52:43.We haven't seen much of him either so far, Iniesta.

:52:44. > :52:50.This is where the big players need to come to the fore, the best

:52:51. > :52:54.Spanish players, demand the ball, get on it and make things happen.

:52:55. > :53:01.Spain have to raise their game now in adversity. Javi Martinez.

:53:02. > :53:09.We have reached the mid-way point of the first half. Here is Azpilicueta.

:53:10. > :53:14.Almost caught in possession by Vargas, the goalscorer.

:53:15. > :53:24.Iniesta, who scored the only goal of the final four years ago. What a war

:53:25. > :53:32.of attrition that was. Here's Iniesta now. Into Diego Costa.

:53:33. > :53:42.Looking to turn. Back to Xabi Alonso. Again, it seems - I'm

:53:43. > :53:46.certainly not picking on Xabi Alonso - he is technically a brilliant

:53:47. > :53:51.footballer and he's skied that one. It was more than a half chance.

:53:52. > :53:54.Here's the goal again. What a touch that was from Eduardo Vargas, never

:53:55. > :54:00.mind the finish. It was. If you think of the enormity of the

:54:01. > :54:05.occasion, it is very easy for people to snatch at chances and this is

:54:06. > :54:09.like a home game. The Chilean support - this is probably the best

:54:10. > :54:14.I have seen so far. To have that awareness, to take that touch, that

:54:15. > :54:16.is what good goalscorers do. They always look like they have time in

:54:17. > :54:30.the box. A great start for Chile. Jorge Sampaoli, their coach, on the

:54:31. > :54:36.edge of the touchline. He will be very happy with what he has seen

:54:37. > :54:40.from his team so far. Silva was complaining that he had his shirt

:54:41. > :54:50.pulled. Nothing doing from referee Mark Geiger.

:54:51. > :54:59.A bit of a chase for Jordi Alba. Xabi Alonso dispossessed once more.

:55:00. > :55:12.Chile fancy this. They are almost getting some encouragement from the

:55:13. > :55:18.way Spain are playing at times. It will be Spain's ball. Sanchez

:55:19. > :55:39.complains. Not quite sure why(!) Now, this is

:55:40. > :55:43.Pedro. Sprinting for all his worth. And just nudged out of the way. I

:55:44. > :55:49.don't think that is a free-kick either. Ramos was shielding the ball

:55:50. > :55:55.out, just previously to that, that was fine - and I think this is OK,

:55:56. > :56:02.too. Just gets his body there - ooh, maybe not! That is a free-kick.

:56:03. > :56:06.Maybe the way he reacted and went down... It is the first big game

:56:07. > :56:11.Spain have played in a long while without that man in the midfield. I

:56:12. > :56:14.find it strange. OK, there are so many options for them. He would be

:56:15. > :56:25.still, for me, the one in there that makes things tick. Ahead of Alonso

:56:26. > :56:33.and Busquets. I am a Xavi fan, so maybe I'm biased. Tiki-taka is his

:56:34. > :56:36.trademark. One goal in the game. A yellow card for Arturo Vidal. That

:56:37. > :57:02.is his first of the tournament. That's better. Ultimately fouled.

:57:03. > :57:14.The foul was by Marcelo Diaz and there is an urgency by Spain here.

:57:15. > :57:19.David Silva in towards Diego Costa. A chance. It was a good chance. Good

:57:20. > :57:22.move from Spain, much better, much more urgency. Alonso wins the ball

:57:23. > :57:38.back there. Jara has got back in to put him off

:57:39. > :57:44.a little bit. But he should at least hit the target. He's a bit off it,

:57:45. > :57:47.for me. Which is understandable with the injuries he's had. Why is he

:57:48. > :58:08.starting a second game in five days if he is not fit? Not quite at his

:58:09. > :58:13.sharpest. Tidy play there. The urgency is a huge factor for Spain.

:58:14. > :58:17.They are criticised a lot for the slowness of the build-up. Now they

:58:18. > :58:20.are 1-0 down, they have to play a much higher tempo, to get back into

:58:21. > :58:27.the game. That was the first time they did that and they created a

:58:28. > :58:31.good chance. They are playing a decent side here, Spain. Chile did

:58:32. > :58:33.well to beat England at Wembley. They were unlucky to lose 1-0 to

:58:34. > :58:42.Germany in March as well. A strong and competitive team. What

:58:43. > :58:50.is going to be fascinating is the work ethic we talk about and the

:58:51. > :58:55.closing down. Can they keep up that level of commitment and pressing

:58:56. > :58:59.throughout the 90 minutes? I find it hard to believe, but people tell me

:59:00. > :59:00.they can do it. The Spanish will keep playing and keep passing and

:59:01. > :59:22.keep finding those pockets. Pedro is going to leave this one to

:59:23. > :59:31.Cesar Azpilicueta. Making just his eighth appearance for the national

:59:32. > :59:38.side today. Iniesta appearing on this near side for the first time.

:59:39. > :59:44.Silva. Iniesta. Comfortably dealt with by Diaz helping out the

:59:45. > :59:55.backline. It is I of the needle stuff for

:59:56. > :00:00.Spain. They are dropping back really deep when they are defending. They

:00:01. > :00:04.are playing really narrow and saying you have to go around the outside of

:00:05. > :00:08.Oscar Ouma closing up the spaces, stopping the Spanish playing

:00:09. > :00:16.through. Really impressive defending so far.

:00:17. > :00:21.Met by the head of Xabi Alonso. This is Pedro. Blocked off, strong play

:00:22. > :00:34.by Gonzalo Jara. The decision goes against Chile,

:00:35. > :00:39.despite the protestations. The referee was suddenly well-placed.

:00:40. > :00:42.Chile have to be careful, overplaying in their own half and

:00:43. > :00:46.the Spanish winning it back. There is not too much in that, for me, but

:00:47. > :00:52.the reason they conceded a free kick is because they overplay debit. When

:00:53. > :01:01.they all -- they overplayed a bit. Here we go with another set play.

:01:02. > :01:07.Bravo, the Real Sociedad goalkeeper, in goal for Chile

:01:08. > :01:14.tonight, he might have something to do here. It was poor again. Not a

:01:15. > :01:25.good delivery. Medel not happy in the centre, after that challenge

:01:26. > :01:29.from Ramos. Now it will be Chile's ball. What is strange, when you are

:01:30. > :01:34.standing over a free kick, and are used to take them in that position,

:01:35. > :01:38.the Chilean line was so high in the 18-yard line it was crying out for a

:01:39. > :01:46.right footer to hit it into that space. As it happened, a left footer

:01:47. > :01:55.took it so it doesn't matter, but I was surprised. Inside the last 15

:01:56. > :01:59.minutes of the first half. Spain needs something from this game to

:02:00. > :02:03.give themselves a chance of progressing to the last 16. If they

:02:04. > :02:09.lose, they can't go through. Jordi Alba. Another player who likes to

:02:10. > :02:13.get forward, but he hasn't really had much chance to do that. A touch

:02:14. > :02:33.from Silva. Unlucky. The through ball aimed

:02:34. > :02:39.towards Diego Costa, comfortable lead dealt with by Claudio Bravo.

:02:40. > :02:41.Not much for those Spanish supporters to cheer about so far. A

:02:42. > :03:15.long way to go, though. That is the dowel, the attacking

:03:16. > :03:24.midfielder, pressing the goalkeeper when they are 1-0 up, it is a

:03:25. > :03:28.fantastic attitude -- that is Vidal. Vidal is actually pushing up high.

:03:29. > :03:33.The two strikers are splitting and at times they are playing three out

:03:34. > :03:36.and out up there, with the wingbacks high as well. It is what I talked

:03:37. > :03:44.about earlier, the bravery to play that way. He is a strong attacking

:03:45. > :03:50.player in Serie A, Arturo Vidal, for Juventus, up into double figures for

:03:51. > :03:54.goals for the second time running for Juventus. He actually got 18

:03:55. > :03:58.goals, which for a midfielder is fantastic, and he also deserves

:03:59. > :04:04.credit for getting himself fit after a miniscule sneeze surgery in early

:04:05. > :04:10.May. So his desire to be here and get fit, from that. He played the

:04:11. > :04:19.first hour of the opening match and was visibly unhappy with being

:04:20. > :04:23.substituted. He apologised to his team-mates after that. We have all

:04:24. > :04:30.been there. Nobody likes to be substituted, especially in a World

:04:31. > :04:35.Cup. Have you ever kicked a water bottle on your way out? I did once,

:04:36. > :04:38.it cost me a lot of money, so I did not do it again. It is passion

:04:39. > :04:46.though, it is good to see players caring. Diaz, he always looks like

:04:47. > :04:50.he has a little bit of extra time in possession. He took too long there,

:04:51. > :04:58.but he just plays in an unhurried manner. The referee keen to keep the

:04:59. > :05:03.game going. Yes, I den think it has been too nasty. It was a silly trip

:05:04. > :05:07.from Pedro, but nothing more -- I don't think it has been too nasty.

:05:08. > :05:13.It is a foul, not a yellow card, it is just a trip. What is painfully

:05:14. > :05:18.obvious, watching Spain live here for the first time, for me, is that

:05:19. > :05:23.they lacked pace in the final third. Pedro is the only one, really, who

:05:24. > :05:30.you would say has that pace to go past people. Iniesta does it in a

:05:31. > :05:34.more silky way, but Silva and Costa, they don't have the pace to

:05:35. > :05:43.get in behind, so everything is in front of Chile at the moment. Here

:05:44. > :05:46.comes Spain with David Silva, Jordi Alba, Diego Costa waits in the

:05:47. > :05:51.centre, Pedro is in there as well and it is very, very comfortably

:05:52. > :05:59.dealt with by Barry Medel and away by Francisco Silva. -- Gary Medel.

:06:00. > :06:19.Ten minutes to go to half-time. Away by Medel. Diego Costa almost

:06:20. > :06:28.catching Medel's head. I think he just pulled out at the last minute.

:06:29. > :06:36.Another free kick, this time for the challenge on Arturo Vidal. Yes, it

:06:37. > :06:41.is a free kick. It is not what Iniesta is known for, his tackling

:06:42. > :06:46.prowess. I would like to see him more in the game doing what he does

:06:47. > :06:51.best, going past people and making incisive passes, but he needs

:06:52. > :06:55.runners. Won in the air by Azpilicueta. Pedro has got pace, can

:06:56. > :07:00.he get away from Mena? Not this time, he feels he was pushed over,

:07:01. > :07:09.and, more importantly, so did the referee.

:07:10. > :07:15.Jorge Sampaoli there, the coach of Chile, has been watching hours and

:07:16. > :07:18.hours of matched tape in the last few days, since that first game

:07:19. > :07:24.against Australia, in the build-up to this one. Meticulous preparation.

:07:25. > :07:27.So far, it is paying off. Indeed. Tactically they have been brilliant,

:07:28. > :07:33.their work ethic has been good. Tactically spot-on. That will be the

:07:34. > :07:36.test for them over the 90 minutes, because Spain will keep passing and

:07:37. > :07:42.pushing. With the power of the bench they have got, they have got

:07:43. > :07:46.options. Ramos. Iniesta. It was loose there, he was under pressure,

:07:47. > :07:54.hurried by the intensity of the Chile players. It didn't quite work

:07:55. > :07:59.this time for Alexis Sanchez. You do become sloppy... Well, it is not

:08:00. > :08:07.sloppy, the intense pressure from the Chileans create sloppiness. Xabi

:08:08. > :08:10.Alonso has been guilty as much as anybody, which is a surprise for

:08:11. > :08:18.him, because that is what he prides himself on. Met by the head of

:08:19. > :08:20.Gonzalo Jara, latterly of Nottingham Forest in the Championship. Former

:08:21. > :08:28.West Bromwich Albion player, as well. Jordi Alba was up for that

:08:29. > :08:31.one, there is a bit of a gap here now, Sergio Ramos will try to fill

:08:32. > :08:36.it on the far side, as Jordi Alba gets back goal side. Vidal down far

:08:37. > :08:49.too easily. Busquets. Iniesta. Spain yet to get into their stride.

:08:50. > :08:55.Chile won't let them. Another example, Vidal loses the ball but

:08:56. > :09:00.instinct straightaway, sprints back 20 yards. Pedro making the running

:09:01. > :09:10.to the centre and Diego Costa right underneath that one, but taken by

:09:11. > :09:14.Claudio Bravo. I would be amazed if we didn't see a couple of changes,

:09:15. > :09:20.to add a bit more pace and injection from Spain in the second half. Maybe

:09:21. > :09:24.Koke in for Alonso, Torres for Costa, but they have to try

:09:25. > :09:28.something, because as you say, if they lose the game they are gone.

:09:29. > :09:33.You would think if they took Xavi out of the side of which they did,

:09:34. > :09:39.there might have been a case for playing Koke, because he has linked

:09:40. > :09:42.up with Costa superbly all season. There was talk of that. It is

:09:43. > :09:47.difficult when you don't see teams and players in training every day of

:09:48. > :09:53.course, but Koke is more powerful, more athletic than some of the other

:09:54. > :09:57.players on the side. Here's Pedro, the mis-control takes it for a goal

:09:58. > :10:00.kick and that was a measure of his frustration. Yes, but he is trying,

:10:01. > :10:06.trying to take people on, they just need to get the ball more. He could

:10:07. > :10:10.do some help from some players. Iniesta, for me, is one of the best

:10:11. > :10:14.players in the world, but we haven't really seen him causing too many

:10:15. > :10:18.problems. And David Silva, you watch him to Man City, he is probing,

:10:19. > :10:22.getting people in, getting on the ball more. That is credit to Chile

:10:23. > :10:27.as well, they really are harassing and playing at a fantastic tempo to

:10:28. > :10:34.stop the Spanish players. WHISTLE Hefty challenge there by having

:10:35. > :10:43.Alonso on Mauricio Isla. That his frustration. That will be a yellow

:10:44. > :10:51.card from the referee. Into the last five minutes of the first half here.

:10:52. > :10:58.That was frustration from Alonso. It is naughty, actually. It is naughty.

:10:59. > :11:03.He has been frustrated, because his quality has not been up to the usual

:11:04. > :11:06.superb level. His set plays have not been particularly good, he has been

:11:07. > :11:12.caught in possession a few times and that really sums up his car. That is

:11:13. > :11:17.a bad tackle, it is naughty. A different referee on a different day

:11:18. > :11:27.might have pulled out a different card. -- that really sums up his

:11:28. > :11:29.half. I am surprised, I expected so much more from the Spanish players,

:11:30. > :11:39.considering what happened against the Dutch. WHISTLE

:11:40. > :11:47.Away by Ramos. Chile with a throw on here, on the front foot for the last

:11:48. > :12:04.few minutes of this first half. Impeccable preparation from the

:12:05. > :12:09.Chilean coach ahead of this game, so far, bearing fruit, but just the one

:12:10. > :12:15.goal in the game so far, so Spain still very much in it, of course.

:12:16. > :12:19.What is a worry, of course, is that a draw would mean Chile going into

:12:20. > :12:22.the Holland game meaning as long as they did not lose by the huge number

:12:23. > :12:26.the Spaniards did, they would go through. So it is not just about

:12:27. > :12:30.getting back into it for Spain, it is about trying to turn the game on

:12:31. > :12:32.its head and winning it, and that is why I am thinking maybe something

:12:33. > :12:38.different should happen at half-time. Away across the field

:12:39. > :12:41.from Gonzalo Jara, here they come now with Alexis Sanchez. A little

:12:42. > :12:47.trip. The referee trying to play advantage there, but realising there

:12:48. > :12:55.was none. Xabi Alonso again. Not a great spot to concede a free kick,

:12:56. > :12:59.either. No. Quick feet from Sanchez, tries to stay on his feet, to be

:13:00. > :13:04.fair to him. Alonso has just got to be careful. Maybe del Bosque might

:13:05. > :13:07.be the king of a change, but the fact that he needs to keep 11 on the

:13:08. > :13:13.page, because there is one thing with this Chilean side, if you go

:13:14. > :13:16.down to ten, you are in trouble. -- 11 on the pitch. Now, what can Chile

:13:17. > :13:28.conjure up here? WHISTLE

:13:29. > :13:32.Alexis Sanchez, who plays his football in Spain with Barcelona

:13:33. > :13:42.goes the goal, punched clear, back in, 2-0! And Spain are in a big, big

:13:43. > :13:55.hole now! Casillas again... Arturo Vidal! 2-0 down, with half-time on

:13:56. > :14:04.the horizon! Are the world champions going out in the group stage? Del

:14:05. > :14:15.Bosque's team have a lot to do. That is crazy from Casillas. I would have

:14:16. > :14:19.caught that. Aranguiz with the shot. Let's take nothing away from the

:14:20. > :14:25.finish. It is an average free kick, he should catch that all day. Great

:14:26. > :14:28.touch from Aranguiz, little toe end, super finish, I have got to

:14:29. > :14:32.give him all the credit in the world, but Casillas, I don't know

:14:33. > :14:36.what he is thinking, why he is punching that. If he is going to

:14:37. > :14:42.budget, he has got to punch it wide anyway. There is not too much pace

:14:43. > :14:45.on the ball anyway -- if he is going to punch it. I would say I feel

:14:46. > :14:49.sorry for him if he had not made three mistakes in the Dutch game,

:14:50. > :14:57.but that is a huge, hugely bad decision from the goalkeeper.

:14:58. > :15:02.Charles Aranguiz with the shot, eating Iker Casillas as it broke

:15:03. > :15:06.loose. I don't say that flippantly, it is easy to criticise doorkeepers,

:15:07. > :15:08.but that is an horrific decision for him to punch that, it really is. --

:15:09. > :15:22.goalkeepers. SIMON BROTHERTON: They are looking

:15:23. > :15:36.in disarray here. Eduardo Vargas with Sanchez ahead of him.

:15:37. > :15:47.Azpilicueta, Pedro. Two minutes of added time.

:15:48. > :16:08.Sanchez checking the run. Some tired Spanish legs out there. I don't know

:16:09. > :16:13.whether it is the humidity, the pitch, or just the intensity of the

:16:14. > :16:17.Chilean players, but some of those Spanish players look tired. It feels

:16:18. > :16:21.like a bit of everything for Spain at the moment.

:16:22. > :16:27.Again, Xabi Alonso has given the ball away. Spain have really lost

:16:28. > :16:41.their way here. Just as they did in the second half against the Dutch.

:16:42. > :16:48.I have never seen Xabi Alonso - and as I said earlier, I am a huge fan -

:16:49. > :16:52.I have never seen him give the ball away so many times. And be caught in

:16:53. > :17:02.possession so often. I don't know whether it is a mental

:17:03. > :17:07.thing, whether the first ten minutes has affected him. It's got worse for

:17:08. > :17:11.him as the game has gone on. Now, here is a good chance for the

:17:12. > :17:15.Spanish to pull one back. The usual suspects inside the penalty area.

:17:16. > :17:27.Busquets and Ramos joining the attack.

:17:28. > :17:38.Alonso in and confidently taken by Chile's goalkeeper. Sounds like he

:17:39. > :17:42.is my enemy - it is another bad ball. It is too high. Someone else

:17:43. > :17:46.should take responsibility. I have been there myself when you take a

:17:47. > :17:49.few and you can't get the right trajectory and you are not right on

:17:50. > :17:56.it. Let someone else go over and take it.

:17:57. > :18:04.That will do it for the first half. Mark Geiger blows the whistle.

:18:05. > :18:09.Eduardo Vargas there giving Chile the lead in the 19th minute of the

:18:10. > :18:13.game and then two minutes before the break, Charles Aranguiz with the

:18:14. > :18:17.shot into the corner of the net, high past Iker Casillas. Spain are

:18:18. > :18:22.in big trouble here. If it stays like this, the champions are going

:18:23. > :18:27.out of the World Cup. They are 45 minutes away from it. Half-time -

:18:28. > :18:31.Spain 0, Chile 2. GARY LINEKER: Indeed. Day seven of

:18:32. > :18:35.the World Cup and the defending champions are on the brink. As it

:18:36. > :18:40.stands, who would have thought it. Spain are going out. Australia will

:18:41. > :18:44.also be eliminated with a game still to go if it stays like this. Chile

:18:45. > :18:47.and the Netherlands would battle it out on Monday to try to avoid a

:18:48. > :18:51.possible second round clash with Brazil. Who would have thought that

:18:52. > :18:56.Spain could conceivably - it couldn't have ever happened before,

:18:57. > :19:00.that the defending dham I don't knows could be the first --

:19:01. > :19:04.champions could be the first team to be out of the competition. We didn't

:19:05. > :19:11.even manage to do that! We are well on course with our prediction. It is

:19:12. > :19:15.a nightmare. We are doing well. In a way, we can't be too shocked because

:19:16. > :19:21.of what happened in the second half against Holland. Nevertheless, this

:19:22. > :19:24.is a demise that's so rapid? Yes, it is. At the same time, you have to

:19:25. > :19:28.give credit where it's due. Chile have been fantastic. They have had

:19:29. > :19:33.people willing to run off the ball, when they have won it back, beyond

:19:34. > :19:37.people, given defenders problems, questions, and when they have got

:19:38. > :19:40.into areas, they have had shots and they have looked to make sure they

:19:41. > :19:45.put the ball past Casillas and today he has had another bad day.

:19:46. > :19:50.Clarence, you said it was a wake-up call for Spain before the game. It

:19:51. > :19:54.is still on snooze that alarm. They need to do something now? It all

:19:55. > :20:02.started wrong in the first minute. Chile almost got a goal already. And

:20:03. > :20:06.that, of course, every player that has been beaten in the first match

:20:07. > :20:12.would feel a little bit, a lack of confidence after that. This is after

:20:13. > :20:15.a few seconds. Already, this pass would have played, was not

:20:16. > :20:21.pressured, you know, getting into the box, a lot of Spanish defenders

:20:22. > :20:26.- all good - but it takes away your confidence. You see Alonso here. The

:20:27. > :20:31.intensity that we were asking for, he comes in, sees the danger, gets

:20:32. > :20:35.it away. Great job from the midfielder, that is what he is there

:20:36. > :20:41.to do. Sees the danger and snuff it out. In the goal... A very different

:20:42. > :20:44.story? He didn't react. He loses the ball and then it is about your

:20:45. > :20:49.reaction. How do you react? Do you want to get back and win it? Not

:20:50. > :20:54.necessarily chase the ball. He didn't quite do that. Here you see

:20:55. > :21:00.him, one of his best parts of his game is his passing, but he gives it

:21:01. > :21:04.away. It is about your reaction. Do you want to get back in to help your

:21:05. > :21:08.players? He doesn't have the intensity to do that. Ramos doesn't

:21:09. > :21:12.look around to see where he is. Then it is too late. I think Alonso, if

:21:13. > :21:16.he had sprinted back, maybe could have got into the line of the ball

:21:17. > :21:23.and stopped... It becomes a mental issue. Sometimes you want to, but

:21:24. > :21:27.you are watching the match. I think one of my colleagues will take the

:21:28. > :21:31.ball for me. Everybody is thinking that somebody else will take it and

:21:32. > :21:35.then it is too late. The game passing you by. Great reaction to

:21:36. > :21:39.the goal. Thierry, we haven't pointed out it was a brilliant bit

:21:40. > :21:45.of football from Chile to make that goal? Exactly. I understand your

:21:46. > :21:50.point of view, Rio. Defensive! In terms of beauty, Tim Cahill's goal

:21:51. > :21:56.is the best so far. This is my type of goal. Great attitude. You see

:21:57. > :22:04.Vidal, great awareness, gives it to Sanchez, great run from Aranguiz,

:22:05. > :22:09.and what a finish! For me, that is football at its best. That is what I

:22:10. > :22:16.like to see in a game. Three difficult passes. But generous and

:22:17. > :22:20.very quality passes. That sums up for me the Chilean team. Generous

:22:21. > :22:27.and unselfish. Could have shot there. He could. Someone else would

:22:28. > :22:43.have gone for glory. He is thinking about the team. Are you talking

:22:44. > :22:47.about Gary(?) 2-0, just before half-time, that puts Spain bang

:22:48. > :22:52.under the cosh? You were asking if we were shocked - I am shocked. I

:22:53. > :22:56.am. Of course. Iker Casillas is one of the best goalkeepers in the

:22:57. > :23:01.history of the game. You can see he's not confident at the moment.

:23:02. > :23:07.You wonder why he doesn't catch the ball, or clears it out. Sorry, it

:23:08. > :23:10.shows you, though, one of the best goalkeepers of all time - doesn't

:23:11. > :23:14.matter, if you lack confidence, you will make mistakes. Is that why he

:23:15. > :23:22.punched it? Yes. That was a ball that he should have caught. The way

:23:23. > :23:29.he punched it. He needs to put it wide. Yes. Do you think it's made -

:23:30. > :23:32.I suppose in hindsight, it is easy to say del Bosque has made the wrong

:23:33. > :23:36.decision picking Casillas because he's making mistake after mistake.

:23:37. > :23:39.He's not been a regular in Real Madrid's team. He's only played in

:23:40. > :23:45.the Champions League? That is harsh in a way. At the beginning, we are

:23:46. > :23:51.seeing this - we are going to have to - that's a mistake. We were

:23:52. > :23:56.saying at the beginning of the game, he looked composed. He played the

:23:57. > :24:00.ball to the right back and we thought he was confident. Then he

:24:01. > :24:06.does what he does. He will have to come out and talk about not playing

:24:07. > :24:10.for a long time. In the final, too, of the Champions League. In the

:24:11. > :24:14.major games, he has made such important mistakes that you would

:24:15. > :24:18.wonder why he is still there. Especially when they have decent

:24:19. > :24:23.goalkeepers in reserve. Pepe Reina is a good goalkeeper? They have some

:24:24. > :24:28.great goalkeepers. That is a sign of the loyalty of del Bosque, he is

:24:29. > :24:33.loyal, he's won a lot of things, he is a fantastic goalkeeper. The

:24:34. > :24:37.loyalty is maybe misjudged a little bit. He has not played a lot of

:24:38. > :24:41.football. Diego Costa, interesting player for Spain. He doesn't typify

:24:42. > :24:46.the way they play. They have had to change their style a bit. It is not

:24:47. > :24:55.really working for them? No, it is not. They don't play for him. You

:24:56. > :25:00.can see how they work with his style of play. He needs a lot of crosses,

:25:01. > :25:05.he needs a lot of direct balls so he can have the space and the time. He

:25:06. > :25:09.is not a very skilled striker, he needs the space, he needs time to

:25:10. > :25:14.make things happen. Here again, you know, he makes a good run here.

:25:15. > :25:18.Silva, we have seen him do this so many times with City, give him the

:25:19. > :25:22.pass, he hesitates a little bit so they close down. Here Spain are

:25:23. > :25:32.still making good pressure. This was a good phase for Spain. Here, this

:25:33. > :25:39.moment, look at Costa. Instead, ball back again and this is just... You

:25:40. > :25:45.can see he is getting frustrated. That reminds me of Thierry!

:25:46. > :25:51.Frustration. What about this stuttery run? A lot of players make

:25:52. > :25:55.that look easy when the striker runs at people. He isn't confident. The

:25:56. > :26:03.ball is bouncing all over the place and he couldn't finish. You were

:26:04. > :26:06.saying before about the decision - I'm wondering why Busquets and

:26:07. > :26:11.Alonso are playing together. This is the same type of players - Spain

:26:12. > :26:14.needs some more depth in their game. Surely they don't need two holding

:26:15. > :26:21.players in the second half now? For sure. He should score there. The one

:26:22. > :26:24.before also, you would expect him to score from the way he held the ball.

:26:25. > :26:29.But, at the same time, I think somebody like Fabregas, who can run

:26:30. > :26:32.up alongside him and behind him, it allows him to have space. If he is

:26:33. > :26:36.running behind Costa, the defender also go with Fabregas and he --

:26:37. > :26:41.defenders will go with Fabregas and he will have more time. We were all

:26:42. > :26:46.calling for Fabregas, this is his time. It might be too late. They

:26:47. > :26:50.have to do something. England are back in action tomorrow. They play

:26:51. > :26:55.their second group game against Uruguay in Sao Paulo and confidence

:26:56. > :27:01.in the camp remains high according to Roy Hodgson.

:27:02. > :27:08.In spite of defeat on Saturday, it was a very good England performance.

:27:09. > :27:12.Will the philosophy stay the same? Absolutely. We have been working

:27:13. > :27:16.towards this philosophy really and we think we have the players that

:27:17. > :27:20.can help us carry out that philosophy. I was pleased that they

:27:21. > :27:25.could go out against a strong Italy team and I thought matched them for

:27:26. > :27:28.very long periods of the game. It is a defeat and you can't come away

:27:29. > :27:33.from the fact that defeats are never positive and I believe that we are

:27:34. > :27:38.ready to go to the next one and we will approach it in the same way as

:27:39. > :27:42.we approached the Italy game. If the philosophy is going to stay the same

:27:43. > :27:45.and the personnel, presumably, does that mean where people play will

:27:46. > :27:50.change? Will Wayne Rooney be your ten? We will see. At the moment, I'm

:27:51. > :27:54.not prepared to make any comments about the team. I'm not prepared to

:27:55. > :27:58.say it will be the same team. Since I have been England manager, I have

:27:59. > :28:02.always refused to discuss what the team is going to be before the

:28:03. > :28:05.players. The players have always got to be the first to know. I can tell

:28:06. > :28:10.you at the moment the players do not know what the team is. Wayne Rooney

:28:11. > :28:14.does not know if he is playing or not playing and he doesn't know in

:28:15. > :28:18.which position. Do you get fed up talking about Wayne Rooney? No, not

:28:19. > :28:23.really. I have got great admiration for him. Over the years, I have seen

:28:24. > :28:27.maybe from afar - this time, I'm seeing it from within the camp. From

:28:28. > :28:33.afar, I have seen an enormous focus on one man and this year it is

:28:34. > :28:36.Wayne. The Costa Ria-Uruguay result threw this group wide-open. Did it

:28:37. > :28:40.change the way you prepared for this match? It is not the type of Uruguay

:28:41. > :28:44.performance that we are used to and it is not the type of Uruguay

:28:45. > :28:48.performance that we are preparing for. And also, of course, they will

:28:49. > :28:52.have their talisman back for this game, Luis Suarez will play in this

:28:53. > :28:56.game, I'm sure. I don't think we will have to face a tougher task

:28:57. > :29:01.than we have faced playing Italy. It could be equally as tough. But there

:29:02. > :29:06.was the added, if you like, handicap that the game against Italy was

:29:07. > :29:11.played in Manaus. The temperature and the conditions in Sao Paulo will

:29:12. > :29:15.be a bit kinder to us. 17 degrees and raining, sounds good? Very good.

:29:16. > :29:19.Sounds like the England I know and love so well!

:29:20. > :29:24.GARY LINEKER: Good conditions in Sao Paulo for the English players,

:29:25. > :29:28.Sterling walking in, where will Rooney play tomorrow? There is Roy

:29:29. > :29:35.Hodgson. Let's get the latest from Gabby.

:29:36. > :29:39.Thank you, Gary. Conditions here at the stadium are very much more

:29:40. > :29:43.English than Manaus. It's been 18 or 19 degrees. We have had rain,

:29:44. > :29:49.sunshine earlier. Everything but snow! The stadium was mired in

:29:50. > :29:55.controversy, would it be finished in time? Around the outskirts of the

:29:56. > :29:59.stadium, all the building equipment lies dormant. They will care about

:30:00. > :30:04.the pitch, the players. They will be on there in half an hour's time.

:30:05. > :30:07.They flew in this morning. I'm sure these conditions will please them.

:30:08. > :30:12.You heard Roy say he wants to stick with that philosophy of that high

:30:13. > :30:17.tempo, energetic, attacking style play that they played with against

:30:18. > :30:27.Italy. It will be so much easier in these conditions. He wasn't giving

:30:28. > :30:34.anything away on the team. Wayne Rooney will play ten, we think, and

:30:35. > :30:37.all the coaches want to see them interchanging. Alex

:30:38. > :30:40.Oxlade-Chamberlain has been carrying that injury. He's been training this

:30:41. > :30:51.week. Don't expect him to feature tomorrow. We might have to wait

:30:52. > :30:58.until Costa Rica. Uruguay, will Luis Suarez play? The signs are that he

:30:59. > :31:16.will be fit and ready to go. We won't know until tomorrow.

:31:17. > :31:20.content can be accessed on your phone, they have just asked me to

:31:21. > :31:22.show my phone, and the case you don't know what one looks like -- in

:31:23. > :31:58.case you don't know. Well, we are on the brink here,

:31:59. > :32:00.Chile 2-0 Spain at half-time. They have won the last two major

:32:01. > :32:07.tournaments, this could be the end of an era. It could be, but the game

:32:08. > :32:11.is calling for Fabregas. Like Clarence said, hopefully we will see

:32:12. > :32:16.him. They just really have to go for it now, don't they? Yes, they need

:32:17. > :32:22.somebody to come on and affect people around him. I think Fabregas

:32:23. > :32:26.does that. He can put the final ball in. This guy, to be fair, he had a

:32:27. > :32:30.great season last season with Atletico Madrid, and he knows Diego

:32:31. > :32:37.Costa well. Who he comes on for, we don't quite know yet. It is not

:32:38. > :32:42.Fabregas, though. Rio made a great point, they are putting someone that

:32:43. > :32:49.actually knows and plays weak income a week out with Diego Costa, so we

:32:50. > :32:53.will see. It is a curious one, the whole World Cup, they are changing

:32:54. > :32:57.their whole style to fit somebody who has been injured for quite a

:32:58. > :33:01.while. It is not at up to me, Clarence. Very strange, actually,

:33:02. > :33:07.but everybody needs to take his responsibility. But they are

:33:08. > :33:11.evolving, they have to evolve. They have won the last three tournaments

:33:12. > :33:16.and they can't just play with the same players and team consistently,

:33:17. > :33:22.people work you out. But it is difficult to change. It is difficult

:33:23. > :33:27.to change at a World Cup. They look more like dissolving van evolving at

:33:28. > :33:32.the moment. They are about to make that substitution. We have to give

:33:33. > :33:37.credit to Chile, they are giving a hard time to the Spanish team to

:33:38. > :33:47.create chances. It looks like they are taking off Alonso. Using two

:33:48. > :33:51.holding midfielders at 2-0 did not make sense any more. They have to

:33:52. > :33:55.get the ball into Diego Costa, to be fair to him his movement in the box

:33:56. > :33:59.has been very good. He has not had the ball fed to him. Spain eager to

:34:00. > :34:08.get out there, Chile have kept them waiting. Mind games, mind games! But

:34:09. > :34:15.Koke is not a bad option at all. He is a good player, perhaps because we

:34:16. > :34:24.knew a bit more about Cesc, but they have gone with a club partnership.

:34:25. > :34:25.It will be interesting to see if Chile play the same way or if they

:34:26. > :34:41.sit back and hold. COMMENTATOR: Spain have got a great

:34:42. > :34:45.deal to do here to avoid suffering the same fate as Italy four years

:34:46. > :34:48.ago. They were the defending champions in South Africa, and went

:34:49. > :34:54.out in the group stage. Danny Murphy is alongside me, how do Spain go

:34:55. > :35:01.about rescuing the situation? Do you think Koke on for Xabi Alonso is a

:35:02. > :35:06.smart move? It is a good move, he is smart and quick, hopefully can have

:35:07. > :35:10.a difference for them. They need to move the ball quicker, play with a

:35:11. > :35:14.higher tempo. They have not got players who can run past people with

:35:15. > :35:17.great pace and athleticism, so they have to play their way through but

:35:18. > :35:22.they have to move the ball quicker. Watching the players as they were

:35:23. > :35:29.waiting to come back out through the tunnel, more on that in a moment.

:35:30. > :35:37.Azpilicueta up against you Jenny Mena. Here come Chile, not for long

:35:38. > :35:45.-- Eugenio Mena. David Silva. Looking for Pedro. Having quite a

:35:46. > :35:57.castle there with Aranguiz, the scorer of the second goal. -- quite

:35:58. > :36:01.a tussle. There is nothing wrong with that. They just got

:36:02. > :36:05.dispossessed in their own half again when they were under pressure. They

:36:06. > :36:12.are winning 2-0, nothing wrong occasionally with giving it a good

:36:13. > :36:20.old lump, getting up and not conceding chances. They have done

:36:21. > :36:23.the hard bit, getting in front. The point I was going to make was we

:36:24. > :36:26.were watching the player just before they came back out for the second

:36:27. > :36:34.half. I don't know what you felt, Danny, but the body language did not

:36:35. > :36:38.look great among some of the Spanish team. It did not. Usually you want

:36:39. > :36:42.to be on your toes, getting yourselves going. Why they were

:36:43. > :36:47.standing in the tunnel talking, I don't know if that is a FIFA think

:36:48. > :36:54.they are not allowed out, but you need someone leading, getting them

:36:55. > :37:02.fired up. Eduardo Vargas now. Vidal, the furthest forward in the

:37:03. > :37:10.middle. Diaz rather hoping he would get a free kick. Iniesta. Jordi Alba

:37:11. > :37:13.loves to get forward. He has not had much of a chance to run at the Chile

:37:14. > :37:29.defence so far. Diego Costa, you would think he

:37:30. > :37:33.would be happy that his team-mate from the past season, Koke, he is on

:37:34. > :37:39.the field, they have linked really well, here's Diego Costa now for

:37:40. > :37:46.Spain and it is smothered by! He has got to score, he has got to score.

:37:47. > :37:50.This is what I talked about, an incisive pass from Iniesta, this is

:37:51. > :37:55.what he does. It is a poor touch. He doesn't get it out of his feet, gets

:37:56. > :37:59.it stuck under his feet. He has got to do better, he just has not looked

:38:00. > :38:04.sharp all night. That is a brilliant opportunity for him. The referee

:38:05. > :38:09.spotting an infringement inside the penalty area before the kick came

:38:10. > :38:13.over. There is nothing wrong with coming back from an injury if you

:38:14. > :38:16.are not sharp, you can't get sharp without playing matches, but it is a

:38:17. > :38:22.World Cup. The manager has picked him expecting him to be sharp, and

:38:23. > :38:30.he is not. It has summed his day up. The fist of Bravo. Back in by Jordi

:38:31. > :38:39.Alba. It was fizzing across the penalty area. I mean, middle of the

:38:40. > :38:43.season... This was not the best effort from Jordi Alba. The middle

:38:44. > :38:48.of the season from Costa, that was the type of chance he was eating up,

:38:49. > :38:54.Sharp, a good touch, burying chances, week in, week out. He has

:38:55. > :39:04.looked a shadow of that player this evening. And of course, as a player,

:39:05. > :39:08.when a manager asks if you are fit and OK, you will say yes, you want

:39:09. > :39:14.to play. So it is the manager's sponsor bulletin more than anybody

:39:15. > :39:21.else's. Fernando Torres, -- it is the manager's responsibility.

:39:22. > :39:28.Torres came on in the first match. Iniesta. Aranguiz, the defensive

:39:29. > :39:36.player, trying to keep it away from the penalty area. Fed in by Koke. It

:39:37. > :39:39.is a start though, better tempo, passing has been crisper, more

:39:40. > :39:42.incisive. Probably the pass of the game actually from Iniesta. That is

:39:43. > :39:57.what we are used to seeing him doing, cutting teams open.

:39:58. > :40:16.Easy for Ramos. Jordi Alba. Martinez.

:40:17. > :40:31.A bit of space here for Koke. Gary Medel saw that one coming. The Chile

:40:32. > :40:35.wingbacks are not pushing on as high at the moment, they have probably

:40:36. > :40:39.told them to keep in position a bit more and the closer to the three

:40:40. > :40:40.centre halves, which is completely understandable, of course, when you

:40:41. > :40:53.are 2-0 up. And urgency about their play, as you

:40:54. > :41:03.would expect, given the position they are in. Pedro down, free kick.

:41:04. > :41:07.Good position from Pedro, coming in of those little pockets off the

:41:08. > :41:11.line, causing problems. They need to be careful not to be a little too

:41:12. > :41:18.overenthusiastic just outside their own penalty area, don't say,

:41:19. > :41:23.Chile's players? Yes, a dangerous position, this. They have been poor

:41:24. > :41:28.on set plays so far. The point with the wingbacks that I was making, if

:41:29. > :41:30.they do stay back and dead press as high when Spain have the ball, they

:41:31. > :41:34.will give up possession, but maybe then mind giving up possession and

:41:35. > :41:39.keeping their shape when they are winning the game. It will also mean

:41:40. > :41:43.that they don't have to do the same amount of running, of course.

:41:44. > :41:55.Iniesta, Ramos and Silva are standing over the ball.

:41:56. > :42:05.The defence just advancing ahead of the white line momentarily. Now we

:42:06. > :42:10.are ready, Sergio Ramos! Deciding not to catch that one, and it is

:42:11. > :42:18.back in, oh, and it is wide! It was a glorious opportunity for Sergio

:42:19. > :42:23.Busquets! I am starting to think it might not be their night. It is just

:42:24. > :42:26.not happening for Spain. Again, the keeper causes the problems, a

:42:27. > :42:38.ridiculous punch. Ridiculous. I think that is Costa with the

:42:39. > :42:41.overhead kick. I have not got Busquets's goal-scoring record in

:42:42. > :42:48.front of me, but I am pretty sure it is not very high. They could be back

:42:49. > :42:53.to 2-2 in the first however many minutes in the second half. They

:42:54. > :43:01.have started the second half more brightly, as, of course, they need

:43:02. > :43:07.to do. Trying to build some momentum here, to get back into the match. A

:43:08. > :43:14.reminder, if they lose, Spain will be out of the World Cup, with one

:43:15. > :43:18.group match still to play. Great pressing. And here's Alexis Sanchez,

:43:19. > :43:21.he has got the better of Sergio Ramos, Vidal in the centre. Aranguiz

:43:22. > :43:34.is up again. A flick in from Vidal. The ball

:43:35. > :43:44.ultimately breaking loose off Eduardo Vargas. David Silva, a

:43:45. > :43:53.little bit deeper now. Iniesta. Ten minutes into the second half.

:43:54. > :44:07.Pedro likes to run, forced back this time. Koke, the substitute. Silva's

:44:08. > :44:09.touch, Iniesta. Cannot find a way through, and looks for a free kick.

:44:10. > :44:24.The referee says no. Jordi Alba. Vargas turning straight back into

:44:25. > :44:30.trouble there. Sergio Ramos almost losing the ball once more to Vidal.

:44:31. > :44:33.That is what I was talking about, just creating problems in your own

:44:34. > :44:38.half when you are winning the game, you don't need to try tricks and

:44:39. > :44:45.Flex. Play sensibly, played percentages, make them work, make

:44:46. > :44:48.them create chances. Busquets, whose embarrassment at missing that chance

:44:49. > :44:53.was not helped by the fact they played it on the big screen. I think

:44:54. > :44:58.it will be playing over in his own head a million times anyway. A minor

:44:59. > :45:03.break in play, an injury to one of the Chile players.

:45:04. > :45:11.SIMON BROTHERTON: Aranguiz is on the ground at the moment.

:45:12. > :45:22.DANNY MURPHY: Not sure there was any malice in that challenge. Maybe he's

:45:23. > :45:26.tweaked his medial ligament there. I have done that myself in exactly the

:45:27. > :45:30.same way. Yeah, they are testing it there. You can see the physio with

:45:31. > :45:33.his left thumb. If it stays like this, how long do you feel that

:45:34. > :45:48.Vicente del Bosque will leave things as they are? Shortly. Ten more

:45:49. > :45:51.minutes, maybe. Maybe a David Villa, a Fernando Torres, go two high up.

:45:52. > :45:56.David Silva is not contributing enough for me. I would always leave

:45:57. > :46:00.Iniesta on because he is capable of an incisive pass. This is a big

:46:01. > :46:04.shame for him. He assisted with the first goal and scored the second.

:46:05. > :46:09.His all-round performance has been superb. If that is a tweaked medial

:46:10. > :46:13.ligament, he is going to be very lucky to play in the tournament

:46:14. > :46:20.again. Let's hope it's nothing serious.

:46:21. > :46:23.It does look as though Chile are going to have to make a change here

:46:24. > :46:38.shortly. He won't be coming back on.

:46:39. > :46:43.Normally, when they are not that bad, you try for a little while and

:46:44. > :46:46.you have to come off anyway. That spray is not going to make any

:46:47. > :46:53.difference. They are making a change. Yeah.

:46:54. > :46:58.It's Felipe Gutierrez who will come on in the next minute or two.

:46:59. > :47:08.Momentarily, Chile are down to ten here.

:47:09. > :47:14.Charles Aranguiz is going to give it a go. He has got no chance. He

:47:15. > :47:23.doesn't look terribly comfortable, does he?

:47:24. > :47:34.Diego Costa will chase and they are waiting for him. Gary Medel.

:47:35. > :47:38.Iniesta. Under pressure again from Vidal. Vidal has done a lot of that

:47:39. > :47:47.in the first few minutes of this second half. He has. We have just

:47:48. > :47:58.over half an hour to go! There he is again. The referee waving play on.

:47:59. > :48:06.Jordi Alba for Spain. Koke. Ramos electing to spread the play to

:48:07. > :48:13.Azpilicueta. Trying to get in past Eugenio Mena. Really strong play

:48:14. > :48:19.from Azpilicueta. Jordi Alba, David Silva. Iniesta. Hassled and Harried

:48:20. > :48:33.as he has been throughout the game. Every player in that Chilean half

:48:34. > :48:39.apart from Casillas. The pass was misplaced by Jordi Alba. He is lucky

:48:40. > :48:43.to get it back. Chile have that line of five again. There's a line of

:48:44. > :48:48.five every time Spain get in that final third. The wing-backs drop in

:48:49. > :48:57.and there is a line of five. This is Pedro. Koke once again.

:48:58. > :49:20.Sanchez stands his ground. There is not one player that they carry. They

:49:21. > :49:24.are all on the same page. They have all got that same mindset for the

:49:25. > :49:27.team, for the team, a man's down, I'm filling in. The right-winger has

:49:28. > :49:33.run past me, I will run back for him. He is the wonder boy. He still

:49:34. > :49:38.has that mentality which is why Barcelona has spent so much money on

:49:39. > :49:41.him. He is a team player. Spain are half an hour from being knocked out

:49:42. > :49:46.of the World Cup with one group match still to play. They have a

:49:47. > :49:48.free-kick here for that challenge. And Eugenio Mena goes in the

:49:49. > :50:08.referee's notebook. A clear foul and Spain are having a

:50:09. > :50:12.lot of the ball here at the moment. What can they do with it?

:50:13. > :50:26.Busquets. A touch from Pedro. Azpilicueta there.

:50:27. > :50:35.It didn't quite fall for Pedro. Beautiful play from Vidal. Here's

:50:36. > :50:39.Sanchez. He is lucky. He will get a free-kick. It didn't look like a

:50:40. > :50:44.free-kick. It was lucky. Trying to take people on in his own half. Here

:50:45. > :50:46.comes Torres. I worry for Aranguiz. He is going to make that worse if he

:50:47. > :50:59.stays on with it. I would imagine Gutierrez has to be

:51:00. > :51:03.coming on for Aranguiz. He is still stripped and ready to go. There he

:51:04. > :51:07.is. Been in excellent form for Twente. Plays in the Netherlands.

:51:08. > :51:13.Silva. Neat and tidy at the moment from

:51:14. > :51:31.Chile. Costa lurking. Eduardo Vargas. He turns away from

:51:32. > :51:38.Javi Martinez. Oh! Still could be a chance. Sanchez! Spain survive. That

:51:39. > :51:49.was a great opportunity, a poor final pass. They had men over.

:51:50. > :51:54.Still Gutierrez still waits to come on.

:51:55. > :52:04.Now, Spain can break. It is Diego Costa and he's closed down so

:52:05. > :52:10.quickly and dispossessed so easily by Marcelo Diaz. He is physically

:52:11. > :52:14.not sharp enough for anything to come off.

:52:15. > :52:31.Fernando Torres is waiting on the touchline to come on.

:52:32. > :52:40.Koke's touch. There you go again. Closed down by Eduardo Vargas. Chile

:52:41. > :52:46.are working so hard here. That is exactly what happens, you force

:52:47. > :52:53.mistakes. Together in little packs, chase down and keep going.

:52:54. > :52:58.CROWD BOO Diego Costa is off and Fernando

:52:59. > :53:03.Torres is on. Torres was called up for the World Cup. That is his first

:53:04. > :53:13.call-up since the confederation cup last summer. Picked ahead of Alvaro

:53:14. > :53:18.Negredo and Fernando Llorente. Torres is now on. Aranguiz is going

:53:19. > :53:23.to have to give in to the inevitable and leave the field. Yes, best case

:53:24. > :53:27.scenario, a week to ten days. Worst case, four to five weeks. In terms

:53:28. > :53:35.of the World Cup, he has to give himself a chance by coming off now.

:53:36. > :53:43.Here come Chile again. Iker Casillas was right behind the ball this time.

:53:44. > :53:47.The shot came in from Vargas. The Torres substitution is a good one.

:53:48. > :53:53.He's been working on his fitness. He has that pace and power. Gutierrez

:53:54. > :53:58.is a player who can do something as well. He played under Steve McClaren

:53:59. > :54:03.and he said he is more than capable of losing the ball three times in a

:54:04. > :54:05.row and then coming back and doing something brilliant with it. He

:54:06. > :54:16.doesn't want to be doing that now! He's got to be able to fill in those

:54:17. > :54:20.gaps. Sit in your position, be disciplined and do the right thing

:54:21. > :54:28.as a midfield player and just keep working. Keep closing down. Sanchez

:54:29. > :54:38.looks like he's taken a knock as well.

:54:39. > :54:45.It is a very hard-working game, the way Chile play. It would be if they

:54:46. > :54:49.played in the north-east or in Manaus. If they played in the

:54:50. > :54:54.north-east in a lunch time kick-off in that heat. Yeah, they will be

:54:55. > :54:59.used to it. A lot of these players play over here, or some of them.

:55:00. > :55:03.They do look like an extremely fit bunch of lads. As I said earlier,

:55:04. > :55:06.there is not one outfield player over 30. They have got legs in the

:55:07. > :55:12.team. They have youth on their side. 25 minutes to go.

:55:13. > :55:29.Busquets. Missed the best chance of the second half.

:55:30. > :55:43.Too high for Jordi Alba. Just over 74,000 inside this arena. The vast

:55:44. > :55:51.majority of whom are travelling to support Chile here.

:55:52. > :55:59.Given away by Iniesta. Free-kick. A bit untidy, nothing more, the

:56:00. > :56:04.challenge on Francisco Silva by Torres. They made a very positive

:56:05. > :56:09.start to the second half, Spain. They did. Chile seem to have ridden

:56:10. > :56:14.that out. I think you are right. I think what the problem for Spain is

:56:15. > :56:18.- when they need to press a game, they haven't got enough legs in the

:56:19. > :56:24.team to go up high and press teams. With the likes of Silva, Iniesta,

:56:25. > :56:27.Busquets - they haven't got that energy and athleticism to win the

:56:28. > :56:31.ball high up. They have to persevere with the possession and keep trying

:56:32. > :56:35.to build-up slowly. When you are 2-0 down, looking like you are going out

:56:36. > :56:39.of the World Cup, you need something different. Not sure they have got

:56:40. > :56:40.brilliant legs on the bench. They will have to grind away and make

:56:41. > :56:53.some chances. Torres. Asking an awful lot of

:56:54. > :57:01.Pedro, who is always a willing runner.

:57:02. > :57:14.Ramos underneath this one. Koke. Busquets. The way Spain play, it has

:57:15. > :57:19.to be inch-perfect and it wasn't there. Alexis Sanchez forward to

:57:20. > :57:24.Vargas, Vargas has support. Look at the space here. Mena and it's a

:57:25. > :57:30.stretch and it's over! It was a great chance for Mauricio Isla.

:57:31. > :57:36.Great breakaway. Should have scored. Game over that would have been.

:57:37. > :57:40.Vargas, good awareness again. I think it's Mena on the left, he

:57:41. > :57:48.drags the shot a little bit. Yes, it was. Here come Chile again. It's

:57:49. > :57:57.cleared away by a tired-looking Javi Martinez. Isla is down. Isla is

:57:58. > :58:05.holding his right leg. Chile are still in possession with Diaz Diaz.

:58:06. > :58:14.-- Diaz. That last move sums Chile up. They

:58:15. > :58:17.win the ball back through pressing the ball, one wing-back mis-hits the

:58:18. > :58:21.shot and who is the one on the other side of the pitch that nearly

:58:22. > :58:26.scores? The other wing-back. The energy and the application, honestly

:58:27. > :58:32.- not sure I have seen a team play with this much courage and... They

:58:33. > :58:36.are not afraid to roll the dice? No, they are certainly not. Torres

:58:37. > :58:47.turning away from Diaz, turning straight into the man they call the

:58:48. > :58:52.pitbull, Gary Medel. Not the most complimentary nickname I have ever

:58:53. > :58:57.heard! He's always in there, Gary Medel. He is such a vital component

:58:58. > :59:02.of the Chile team. He has done really well. He's been really

:59:03. > :59:07.disciplined. Obviously, he's had a checkered history with his

:59:08. > :59:12.discipline. He's marshalled the other two around him as well. He is

:59:13. > :59:15.looking at that midfield again - 11 red cards in the last five years in

:59:16. > :59:24.club football, but none in the Premier League last season. With

:59:25. > :59:28.Cardiff City. Sergio Busquets. Marcelo Diaz will collect balls like

:59:29. > :59:34.that all day long. Sanchez - I thought he had shown too much of

:59:35. > :59:40.that. Vidal is up with him. And the header in the end going wide of the

:59:41. > :59:45.goal. It was Gutierrez, the substitute. Another good breakaway.

:59:46. > :59:50.That will happen. The Spanish will keep trying to press now. That was

:59:51. > :59:53.unlucky from Sanchez. He broke - I think it was Martinez that come

:59:54. > :59:57.over. He had too much pace for him and then tried to pick out the guy

:59:58. > :00:01.on the back post. That is the way of the next 20 minutes. It will be the

:00:02. > :00:13.Spanish trying to push forward and they will leave big, open holes.

:00:14. > :00:19.last quarter of the game. The clock is ticking a bit for Spain now.

:00:20. > :00:28.Forward by Gutierrez will stop Iniesta's touch, combination with

:00:29. > :00:33.Torres. And what a noise being made by the Chilean fans now. And there

:00:34. > :00:50.is a man with plenty on his plate. I hope the people at home can hear

:00:51. > :00:57.the atmosphere, it is absolutely fantastic. The Chilean fans haven't

:00:58. > :01:05.stopped, have they? The acoustics in the stadium, as well. Here they come

:01:06. > :01:13.again. Sanchez. Trying to lead Martinez a merry dance. Medel is in

:01:14. > :01:22.space. The past not good enough this time. Away by Sergio Ramos. Vidal

:01:23. > :01:29.has not played like a man who has been injured for a while. He is

:01:30. > :01:35.playing like the Vidal we were hoping to see. Not just the

:01:36. > :01:45.technical aspects, but his running, his desire to win the ball back from

:01:46. > :01:50.the team with a so-called star. Absolutely wonderful. Great team

:01:51. > :01:58.ethic Sampaoli has got here from this chilly side. Vidal again with

:01:59. > :02:05.his arm in the air, just waiting inside the D. Ramos able to find his

:02:06. > :02:17.intended target. Pedro looking for Torres, but it was well dealt with

:02:18. > :02:29.by Gonzalez. The Spanish body language is tired. Especially the

:02:30. > :02:32.defenders. -- by Gonzalo Jara. I know the Uruguayans did not get

:02:33. > :02:36.their caramel spread through customs, I am not sure what the

:02:37. > :02:47.Chileans are using but I would like some with my breakfast.

:02:48. > :02:57.I am not surprised they were disappointed not to receive the

:02:58. > :03:03.delivery. On a serious note, the amount of credit to those players, I

:03:04. > :03:07.can't stress it too much, what they are actually doing here, playing

:03:08. > :03:11.this way in this humidity, it is really difficult to do, really,

:03:12. > :03:15.really difficult. They must have prepared perfectly, and worked

:03:16. > :03:21.really hard to get to that level. It takes a lot of application. It is

:03:22. > :03:24.Vargas on the ground. I think we got a little sighting of Santi Cazorla

:03:25. > :03:32.who may be coming on. We can't see him down in front of us at the

:03:33. > :03:37.moment, but... I think Ramos has been a little bit clever there, left

:03:38. > :03:49.his studs up just as it came down. A bit naughty, lucky to get away with

:03:50. > :03:54.that, actually. Vargas is fine. Here is Marcelo Diaz. Vargas. He leaves

:03:55. > :04:00.it to Alexis Sanchez, he has got the pace to get away from Ramos here, he

:04:01. > :04:08.has got support, it is from Vidal... Oh! Still Spain haven't got it away,

:04:09. > :04:12.they have now. You wonder whether they were quite close to conceding a

:04:13. > :04:20.penalty there. I hate to say it, if he goes down, he gets it. David

:04:21. > :04:25.Silva. Iniesta. Santi Cazorla is waiting to come on. He is going to

:04:26. > :04:30.have to wait a little bit longer. We might have another stoppage here.

:04:31. > :04:37.Don't kick the ball out, you are too -0 down in a World Cup group stage,

:04:38. > :04:46.is playacting! Ridiculous! -- you are 2-0 down. Gonzalo Jara was

:04:47. > :04:52.pretty badly on his -- pretty quickly on his feet. Definitely not

:04:53. > :05:04.a penalty, was it? Nobody touched him. Maybe not. At least he tried to

:05:05. > :05:08.stay up, I will give him credit. Here comes the change for Spain. The

:05:09. > :05:13.Arsenal man waiting to come on, and Pedro, who was brought into the team

:05:14. > :05:17.today. It has not been his best game ever but one thing you can be sure

:05:18. > :05:23.of is that he has given his all. He has tried to make things happen, he

:05:24. > :05:27.has tried to run behind. Well, has all gave Arsenal the chance in the

:05:28. > :05:33.FA Cup final when they were 2-0 down against Hull City. Yes, and he takes

:05:34. > :05:37.a brilliant free kick, as well. They need something soon. Cazorla, who

:05:38. > :05:41.missed out four years ago through injury, gets the chance now, but he

:05:42. > :05:52.has only got just under quarter of an hour to try to make an on this

:05:53. > :05:57.one. Iniesta with the quick kick, flag up far side anyway. Good idea.

:05:58. > :06:01.That is what has been lacking, some quick thinking, inventiveness. It

:06:02. > :06:08.has all been a bit predictable, a bit lethargic, although if Costa's

:06:09. > :06:12.touch was better, we could be talking about eight different

:06:13. > :06:17.result. But overall they have been poor. They have not played with the

:06:18. > :06:23.same zip and zest that we have been so used to -- talking about a

:06:24. > :06:31.different result. Now it is looking like it is too late for them. Vidal

:06:32. > :06:46.on the ground over on the far side, but he is off the pitch.

:06:47. > :06:53.Sanchez losing out, it was Jordi Alba who won the ball back for

:06:54. > :06:59.Spain, now it is with David Silva. Santi Cazorla, into Koke, Iniesta.

:07:00. > :07:09.Good feet. Recovered well, after that initial first touch. Sliding in

:07:10. > :07:13.and getting the ball away, Mena. It is that line of five again. You see

:07:14. > :07:16.the four in the box and the left-back going over for the throw

:07:17. > :07:27.in. They have really kept a good shape, those lads.

:07:28. > :07:33.If Spain could get a goal in the not too distant future, it really would

:07:34. > :07:38.set us up for a grand slam finish. Yes, because if a team get a goal,

:07:39. > :07:43.you tend to drop off, you can't go the other end and score again. It

:07:44. > :07:56.happens every time we see a team get one. Martinez. Now Casillas. He has

:07:57. > :08:03.just played the cup matches for Real Madrid this season, only a couple of

:08:04. > :08:08.matches in the league. David Silva, Torres. Well, Brazil with Julio

:08:09. > :08:12.Cesar as well, he only played with Toronto at the end of the season, he

:08:13. > :08:19.spent a lot of time at QPR not playing. It is the classic argument,

:08:20. > :08:28.do you play players who have done well in the team in the past, or

:08:29. > :08:32.teams who -- players who have played well in the season? Argentina's

:08:33. > :08:37.keeper has not played much this season either. It has been an

:08:38. > :08:43.impressive showing here from Jorge Sampaoli's side. Apart from the

:08:44. > :08:48.first eight or ten minutes... Not impressive there, though, here comes

:08:49. > :08:55.David Silva, Torres is up with him, Iniesta. And it doesn't fall to

:08:56. > :09:00.Torres, and again it fizzles out. Yes, I was just saying, apart from

:09:01. > :09:03.the opening eight to ten minutes of the second-half, where Spain played

:09:04. > :09:09.with a bit more zip and urgency and had those chances, the rest of the

:09:10. > :09:12.game has been... Not easy for Chile, because they have worked hard, but

:09:13. > :09:20.they have not been put under great pressure. The long ball from Ramos.

:09:21. > :09:28.Azpilicueta. Cazorla. Here's Iniesta. Is there a little bit of

:09:29. > :09:35.magic in the box from him, Cazorla! Good save. Pushed behind thereby

:09:36. > :09:40.Bravo. They won't mind that, if they keep them shooting outside the box

:09:41. > :09:46.for the last ten minutes. How long have we got now? Ten minutes

:09:47. > :09:50.exactly, plus added time. Spain are going to have to dig really deep

:09:51. > :09:53.here to try and rescue this situation they are in, in it comes

:09:54. > :09:59.towards that near post area. David Silva was there. Behind for another

:10:00. > :10:04.corner. I haven't seen David Silva score too many headers in my time!

:10:05. > :10:09.But Sergio Ramos certainly is a threat. In it comes once more, and

:10:10. > :10:14.this time Claudio Bravo elects to catch the ball. And he does so with

:10:15. > :10:26.great confidence, and I am sure he is OK.

:10:27. > :10:32.But of course it breaks up the rhythm of the game, which I'm sure

:10:33. > :10:39.Chile will be more than happy with. Well, it is clever. There is the

:10:40. > :10:44.first goal from Vargas, looks pretty good no matter have a times you see

:10:45. > :10:57.it. It was cool, and that was invented, stuck under his feet, 80

:10:58. > :11:03.end. -- a toe end. We have seen quite a bit of head scratching from

:11:04. > :11:06.Vicente del Bosque tonight. Well, he is going to come he is so used to

:11:07. > :11:10.seeing them playing so well and dominating games and making chances,

:11:11. > :11:14.but they have just been too many poor performances, and the blend of

:11:15. > :11:18.the team hasn't looked quite right. He has obviously got to take some

:11:19. > :11:22.blame for that, cause he has chosen the players, but I think I would

:11:23. > :11:26.like to have seen a little more fight. Maybe they just haven't got

:11:27. > :11:33.the legs, maybe they haven't got the energy in the team they need now.

:11:34. > :11:36.And actually this Chilean team is as good as it gets with athleticism and

:11:37. > :11:43.their work ethic, so they have been overrun. Talking quite exciting

:11:44. > :11:47.South American sides, our next live game from the World Cup will be

:11:48. > :11:53.tomorrow at 4:30pm, Colombia against Ivory Coast live from Brasilia, and

:11:54. > :12:05.at 10:35pm also on BBC1, Japan playing Greece, that game in Natal.

:12:06. > :12:11.David Silva for Spain. Cazorla. No foul. The referee was right on the

:12:12. > :12:16.spot. He has done well, the rest. We haven't talked about him well -- he

:12:17. > :12:20.has done well, the referee. He has got a second match tonight, before

:12:21. > :12:25.Howard Webb has had his first at this World Cup. Fernando Torres,

:12:26. > :12:39.away by Marcelo Diaz. It didn't quite fall for Vidal. DGC

:12:40. > :12:44.the reaction when he lost that ball, though? Again, and he is a striker,

:12:45. > :12:49.Vargas. You could argue that he might let one go for once, but no,

:12:50. > :12:55.straightaway, give it away, get straight back at it. Chile will make

:12:56. > :12:56.one last change in the next few moments, when the ball goes out of

:12:57. > :13:08.played Iniesta looks a goal! Fine save by

:13:09. > :13:15.Claudio Bravo. -- looks for goal. This is a really good effort. And a

:13:16. > :13:19.very good save. Iniesta has had his three best moments in central areas

:13:20. > :13:23.of the pitch. And he started the game wide. I think there was talk

:13:24. > :13:26.before the game of playing him in that central role, and I think he

:13:27. > :13:32.has got that bit more creativity when he comes in no central areas.

:13:33. > :13:38.They have missed that, well, they certainly missed it in the first

:13:39. > :13:43.half. Vargas, who scored with such aplomb in the 19th minute, being

:13:44. > :13:49.carried along by the referee. He deserves his over Asian. I am glad

:13:50. > :14:07.he wore those orange boots stash macro he deserves his ovation. Jorge

:14:08. > :14:10.Valdivia replaces him. He was unlucky not to start. Lavishly

:14:11. > :14:16.gifted player, but he has something of a bad boy reputation. Yes, I

:14:17. > :14:20.think he has served a couple of ten match bans in his time. Certainly a

:14:21. > :14:34.talent, though. Five minutes and counting. And, as

:14:35. > :14:49.it stands, the defending champions will be going home early.

:14:50. > :14:59.They have just lacked that spark, or inspiration, to their play. They

:15:00. > :15:02.have had moments. It is hard, it is really hard when you are up against

:15:03. > :15:08.a side that has more power than you, and more pace than you.

:15:09. > :15:16.SIMON BROTHERTON: Won back by David Silva, Koke dispossessed. Falls to

:15:17. > :15:23.Iniesta. Brilliant feet in towards Torres.

:15:24. > :15:35.DANNY MURPHY: I did worry when I looked at - I have watched Medel in

:15:36. > :15:38.midfield this year and when I saw him playing defensively, I did

:15:39. > :15:43.worry, but he has been terrific. He's read things. He's been calm in

:15:44. > :15:46.possession. He seems to be speaking, dictating what he wants from the

:15:47. > :15:52.other defenders and deserves a mention. I did - I spoke with Neil

:15:53. > :15:55.Lennon before the game, we were looking at that as a weak area. He

:15:56. > :15:59.has been one of the best players on the pitch.

:16:00. > :16:12.That will be Spain's ball. There will be another change, shortly, for

:16:13. > :16:17.Chile. Won in the air by Torres. And also by David Silva. Torres down and

:16:18. > :16:22.he gets a free-kick. Good foul. Really good foul. It is not a

:16:23. > :16:28.sending off because he had some cover. That late on in the game,

:16:29. > :16:35.winning 2-0, take a yellow card. That is not a bad foul at all. His

:16:36. > :16:41.manager won't mind that. Late change now being made by Sampaoli once

:16:42. > :16:44.again. Just before this free-kick is taken. There will be a standing

:16:45. > :16:47.ovation for Arturo Vidal as he leaves the field.

:16:48. > :16:55.He has been outstanding. We are better looking at the players who

:16:56. > :17:07.haven't been because there have not been many. Talk about a team

:17:08. > :17:13.performance. And Carlos Carmona is on for the remainder of this match,

:17:14. > :17:18.a defensive midfield player. It is Santi Cazorla for Spain and Bravo

:17:19. > :17:25.was there once more. Not a bad effort. There wasn't enough pace in

:17:26. > :17:27.it. I was going to say "now or never" before he took this. There

:17:28. > :17:36.wasn't enough pace in that. Not quite enough fizz in the

:17:37. > :17:44.free-kick to get it past Claudio Bravo. No. Silva again. And

:17:45. > :17:49.athletically over the top. By Sergio Ramos. What is interesting on

:17:50. > :17:52.corners again - just watching Chile there - they didn't put anyone on

:17:53. > :17:57.the post even though they are winning 2-0. They probably do the

:17:58. > :18:02.same thing whether they are winning 2-0 or losing 2-0 on corners. Most

:18:03. > :18:07.teams do the same thing. I believe when you are winning a game,

:18:08. > :18:10.especially defending corners, you have to have people on the post.

:18:11. > :18:16.Then you have three people to beat on the line. Who am I to tell the

:18:17. > :18:25.manager of Chile what to do after his team's performance this evening?

:18:26. > :18:32.Still agitated, still kicking every ball with his team. Has he just

:18:33. > :18:35.masterminded a famous victory? Yes. Chile's first-ever over Spain at the

:18:36. > :18:48.11th attempt. They are not quite there yet. What a place to do it.

:18:49. > :19:01.Won back by Alexis Sanchez. Trying to get away from Javi Martinez.

:19:02. > :19:09.Medel, who has been superb at the heart of the Chile defence. Silva

:19:10. > :19:17.available near side. That was Torres trying to close it down. We haven't

:19:18. > :19:23.seen the board yet, but I think we are heading for six minutes of added

:19:24. > :19:28.time. Might be a twist in the tale yet. That is the early indication.

:19:29. > :19:32.We will wait for the official board. It should be coming up any minute

:19:33. > :19:36.now. They don't look like scoring, if I'm honest. It is not a

:19:37. > :19:41.bombardment, or chance after chance, it is not Chile camped in their own

:19:42. > :19:47.box hacking balls out. It's six minutes.

:19:48. > :19:57.Spain now, with six minutes to try and score two goals to at least keep

:19:58. > :20:12.themselves in the competition with one group match to play. It's poor.

:20:13. > :20:21.He is lucky to have found Azpilicueta. Santi Cazorla always

:20:22. > :20:26.busy. Good defending. It's a corner. The deflection coming off Mena. Mena

:20:27. > :20:30.has been up-and-down, a terrific engine, still trying to get out

:20:31. > :20:39.there to block that cross, close the space down. In it comes. It's going

:20:40. > :20:48.to fall here for Jordi Alba. Away by Medel. Met by Iniesta. Koke. To that

:20:49. > :20:57.far side. Silva's touch. Shot by Sergio Ramos. All hands on deck for

:20:58. > :21:02.Chile here. Wh -- has to score. It is another corner to Spain. A really

:21:03. > :21:06.good chance for Sergio Ramos. He's been in great goalscoring form, even

:21:07. > :21:08.though he is a central defender. It is a good block, but it is a tired

:21:09. > :21:17.swing. He is a good finisher. In it comes again. Ten players back

:21:18. > :21:19.inside the penalty area for Chile and it's rather wild there from

:21:20. > :21:30.Jordi Alba. He had to take it on. He is

:21:31. > :21:39.technically very good. He had to have a go. I think that it is worth

:21:40. > :21:43.mentioning the goalkeeper for Chile as well. Any time he has been called

:21:44. > :21:48.upon, he's looked nice and solid, apart from that one silly punch.

:21:49. > :21:51.Everywhere around the pitch, they have had commanding performances,

:21:52. > :21:55.people willing to work hard and play good football. They have taken some

:21:56. > :21:59.risks - that is what they do. In their own half, they have been

:22:00. > :22:04.caught a few times. The mentality to maintain the level of what they do

:22:05. > :22:08.can't be underestimated. It is great credit to all the players and the

:22:09. > :22:15.manager for giving them the freedom to do it. Medel forward towards

:22:16. > :22:23.Sanchez, away by Javi Martinez. Spain can have few complaints about

:22:24. > :22:31.this. I agree. Mena. Looking for Gutierrez. Here's Diaz.

:22:32. > :22:39.Trying to get clear of Ramos. It is going to be Spain's ball. We are

:22:40. > :22:45.midway through our six minutes of added time. I can only remember the

:22:46. > :22:50.Etihad, the final day of the Premier League season, when two goals went

:22:51. > :22:58.in so late. It isn't the bombardment that that was and they don't have

:22:59. > :23:00.Aguero playing for them. So I would say Spain are going home. Torres was

:23:01. > :23:08.looking for David Silva. Ramos stooping. Azpilicueta. Touch

:23:09. > :23:26.from Cazorla. The game's almost up for Spain.

:23:27. > :23:36.Silva can't quite pick out Fernando Torres. His body language tells you

:23:37. > :23:37.a lot there. The world title defence almost over before it really got

:23:38. > :23:58.started. Chile are taking their time. I feel

:23:59. > :24:04.that Chile are going to be a bit unlucky. If they finish runners-up

:24:05. > :24:07.in the group, the draw would be Brazil, I think. It would. Provided

:24:08. > :24:13.Brazil win their group, as we expect. As we expect. Hypotheticals

:24:14. > :24:18.there, of course. You would think with these tremendous results and

:24:19. > :24:22.the effort they have put in, they might think they will get a lesser

:24:23. > :24:26.draw in the second round. But they still have Holland to play, of

:24:27. > :24:30.course. And after tonight's performance... Who knows?

:24:31. > :24:38.Last minute of added time. Sampaoli, the coach, has stopped ranting at

:24:39. > :24:44.the fourth official about the six minutes. His team are almost there.

:24:45. > :24:50.Medel is there. He is always there. Don't the Spanish attackers know it?

:24:51. > :24:55.They are resigned to the result now. I think, as you said earlier, they

:24:56. > :24:59.can't grumble. It's not been a bad refereeing decision. It's not been a

:25:00. > :25:03.bit of luck for Chile. It's been a dominant performance, a brilliant

:25:04. > :25:09.performance in many ways. The better team has won. The 5-1 defeat in the

:25:10. > :25:13.first match for Spain was the heaviest margin suffered by any

:25:14. > :25:20.defending champion in the history of the competition. And they haven't

:25:21. > :25:25.quite recovered from it. Spain are about to become the fifth defending

:25:26. > :25:29.champion to go out at the first hurdle in the following World Cup

:25:30. > :25:35.competition, just as Italy did four years ago! Spain are out. And the

:25:36. > :25:37.group stage hasn't even finished yet.

:25:38. > :25:45.Excellent win for Chile. They were on the front foot right from the

:25:46. > :25:51.start of the match. It was masterminded by the coach, Jorge

:25:52. > :25:55.Sampaoli. And carried out exquisitely by their players.

:25:56. > :26:00.Intensity, unity, hard work and composure in front of goal. Eduardo

:26:01. > :26:05.Vargas, the scorer of the first goal in the 19th minute. Then, shortly

:26:06. > :26:09.before half-time, Charles Aranguiz with the second and Spain had no

:26:10. > :26:15.response. The defending champions are out of the World Cup. The final

:26:16. > :26:20.score - Spain 0, Chile 2. GARY LINEKER: Well, well, well. As

:26:21. > :26:25.Simon said, Spain become the fifth defending champions to be knocked

:26:26. > :26:33.out at the group stage following Italy in 2010, France 2002, Brazil

:26:34. > :26:37.in '66 and Italy in 1950. But day seven and the first team to be

:26:38. > :26:42.eliminated is a World Cup first, a run of three successive Major

:26:43. > :26:52.Championship triumphs comes to an end. Bowing out with Spain, of

:26:53. > :27:01.course, are Australia. That leaves a spicy-looking clash between Hill --

:27:02. > :27:06.Chile and the Netherlands on Monday. That will decide who tops the group.

:27:07. > :27:10.Thierry, you have experienced this going out of the group stage when

:27:11. > :27:18.you were defending champions. It must be tough to take?

:27:19. > :27:22.THIERRY HENRY: Thanks for reminding me(!)! I have been in that position.

:27:23. > :27:29.It is not funny at all. You want to hide. I mean, Clarence said before,

:27:30. > :27:34.they gave us so much pleasure, you almost kind of, like, feel sorry for

:27:35. > :27:40.them. And sad. Give credit to Chile. What a team. Spain were just not the

:27:41. > :27:44.Spain we have seen over the last few years?

:27:45. > :27:48.RIO FERDINAND: It was my heart ruling my head a little bit, they

:27:49. > :27:51.have won loads of stuff before and you didn't want to see them go out

:27:52. > :27:55.like this. You wanted to see them show a bit of fight. It wasn't to

:27:56. > :28:00.be. The impressive thing about the Chile team was the tempo that they

:28:01. > :28:03.kept up for 90 minutes. It was almost a Premier League type tempo.

:28:04. > :28:08.They were all over them. They didn't give them a minute's breathing

:28:09. > :28:14.space. Spain didn't have it in them to go through the gears. What's

:28:15. > :28:20.happened to Spain? CLARENCE SEEDORF: We have to give

:28:21. > :28:24.credit to Chile. Spain, I think the wrong people were on the pitch. Bad

:28:25. > :28:30.selection? Yes, bad selection. I think some bad choices. They just

:28:31. > :28:33.didn't combine well. You could see the struggle, they were struggling

:28:34. > :28:38.to find each other and creating stuff. It is a sad moment. They have

:28:39. > :28:41.given us so much joy over the last years, so we also have to give them

:28:42. > :28:51.a lot of respect for what they have done. Again, I do not understand how

:28:52. > :28:55.we didn't see Cesc Fabregas and David de Gea. More bad selection.

:28:56. > :29:00.What they needed in the second half was to score an early goal to give

:29:01. > :29:08.them some sort of hope. It fell to the wrong man, a sitter for

:29:09. > :29:15.Busquets, that he missed? Another bad punch. Wrong man in the wrong

:29:16. > :29:22.place. He hasn't scored a goal for Spain in more than 60 caps. Costa,

:29:23. > :29:25.if you look at it, he could have had an assist and a goal. He had a good

:29:26. > :29:27.chance as well. That could have been an assist. We could have been

:29:28. > :29:34.talking about a totally different end result if them two chances had

:29:35. > :29:40.gone in. The two chances were in the space of three minutes. Chile were

:29:41. > :29:46.fantastic. Sanchez and the whole team, actually, were fighting for

:29:47. > :29:51.each other. Spain, I suppose their performance was summed up by a

:29:52. > :29:59.breakaway that they had at the end? Great awareness from David Silva and

:30:00. > :30:07.then Torres hasn't tried to make a move, or go back in front of the

:30:08. > :30:14.defender. That is why David Silva cannot... He does kind of well. Are

:30:15. > :30:20.you carrying properly wide? One of the two? It sums up Spain. Taking

:30:21. > :30:27.your time, plays it backwards, here we go. Chile are back into their

:30:28. > :30:31.shape. They done that all game, sideways, slow football, it is

:30:32. > :30:44.predictable and Chile were diligent in their work.

:30:45. > :30:49.minutes, five shots, none on target, attempted 12 passes all night.

:30:50. > :30:53.Touched the ball just 21 times. Football is about taking your

:30:54. > :30:57.chances. You just have to watch it. This is your moment to make sure

:30:58. > :31:03.that you can prove you are the guy and he didn't take his chance. Do

:31:04. > :31:11.you hit that first-time? Yes. One touch and the old bendy one. That

:31:12. > :31:14.was his moment and it did not happen for him, and it didn't happen for

:31:15. > :31:19.Spain and sadly we will have to carry on seeing the World Cup

:31:20. > :31:28.without them. But we are going to see Chile, and that is because of

:31:29. > :31:32.two first half goals. You see the intent, running off the ball, asking

:31:33. > :31:39.questions of the defenders. That final pass, how he saw him was

:31:40. > :31:44.perfect. And a toe punt, we have seen a toe punt in the World Cup, it

:31:45. > :31:48.is beautiful! At Casillas will be disappointed, I'm sure, but how he

:31:49. > :31:53.dealt with that. It is just their generosity, I know Clarence is a

:31:54. > :31:57.lover of guys breaking from midfield and making runs to make sure they

:31:58. > :32:01.can unlock something and they did that, not only offensively but

:32:02. > :32:05.defensively. They are generous. I have some news income we showed you

:32:06. > :32:11.before the game actually, but since then FIFA have released a statement

:32:12. > :32:17.condemning the ticketless Chile fan to force their way into the Maracana

:32:18. > :32:23.Stadium, and then that's temporary wall into the press centre. FIFA

:32:24. > :32:26.said the situation was brought under control quickly and at least 85

:32:27. > :32:31.supporters were detained, according to the military police of Rio. The

:32:32. > :32:35.organisers of the World Cup condemn these acts of violence and will

:32:36. > :32:40.communicate further measures to be taken in June course. Two live games

:32:41. > :32:58.tomorrow for you: -- in due course. We are just about

:32:59. > :33:02.out of time, thank you very much indeed, gentlemen. That's it, the

:33:03. > :33:08.defending champions are out, sticky tack?

:33:09. > :33:46.COMMENTATOR: Vargas, he is away from Casillas! Spain are rather on the

:33:47. > :33:55.ropes here, with a bloodied lip. Punched clear, back in, 2-0! Spain

:33:56. > :34:02.are in a big, big hole now! Spain are in big trouble here! It is back

:34:03. > :34:05.in, oh and it is wide! Spain are out!
