Victoria Bitter V Nomade: 0-1 Close call but will give it to Nomade, was that bit stronger in the overall taste. VB had an interesting aftertaste, but Nomade gets the victory for its stronger alcohol content, which had a good kick near the end.Read here for full beer report.

Nomade Beer, An Up and Coming Player

PreGame:

Chile were one of the most attractive teams in the last world cup, playing the game in the correct spirit and a tad unlucky not to do a little better. This time there is more of an expectation with a world cup in South America the Chilean public expects great things from their team.

In a tough group and with the Netherlands already putting the Spanish to the sword tonight Chile are in a dogfight to get out of this very tough group. The only bright spot in this difficult group is that Chile get to play Australia first. Victory in that game should be a given and set them up for at least trying to scrape a point against Spain in the second game, which might be good enough for them to qualify.

Key player is Barcelona forward Alexis Sanchez, decent form this season, fast and difficult to defend against, will be sure to get a goal or two in this world cup.

Australia are the lowest ranked nation in the competition, will have an up field task if they want to get out of the group.

A journey man team, Australia, don’t have the players to make any impression in this world cup. Tim Cahill is still around, but now at 34 you would reckon he cant lift the team as he so used to do in the past.

One thing that Australia wont lack is effort, and in every game I am sure they will try their damnest to be competitive, but if they don’t have the players in a very tough group, they will struggle.

Overall this game has suddenly taken on more importance than it once had. Netherlands demolition of the once mighty Spain has made a win in tonight’s game a must if either team wants to have any chance of reaching the second round. I will go with Chile, they have the firepower to do it.

A more detailed review on Chile here and on Australia here

Excellent game, end to end, two teams playing football in the right spirit (take a note Cameroon). Really enjoyable game. Sánchez and Valdívia were immense in the first half, wilted a little bit in the second half. Australia were very well coached, and attacked Chile down the flanks putting in some brilliant crosses that unsettled the Chilean defence time and time again. Brilliant coaching. Cahill was my man of the match, every time the ball went near him from a cross he looked like scoring. I dont mind admitting that I thought he didnt have the legs for a total performance like this, boy he proved me wrong, brilliant. Its such a shame that both these teams are in such a tough group.

Both teams have tough games up next. Chile will do well to get a result against the Spanish, even if the Dutch exposed their weaknesses. Chile have to tighten up that defence. Australia are unlucky that next up they have to face the Robben and Persie double act, on form and raring to go.
