Spoiler Alert: Lots of references to the 1966 World Cup followed by England losing. Shrug of shoulders and that is it for the next 4 years

LOL, that's clearly an article written by a clueless plank. For a start, "soccer" isn't a fringe sport over here. To even suggest so is totally wrong. And then to suggest a football match could be decided by judges shows a complete lack of understanding of any team sport, just not football!!! Many yanks I've talked to football about are very knowledgable, even if they do insist on using words like uniform, call, kph and soccer when talking about it!

I don't remotely see Spain losing to Chile. England lost their opening game in '66 and still won the tournament. Argentina lost their opener in '90 and still made the final.

So the Spanish shouldn't be panicking too much yet.

Re: World Cup - Warning, Spoilers may be here!

Home from work too late to see the highlights of the Spain v holland match, they've moved on to the chile v Australia match already on ESPN.

The commentators are calling the South American team "chill-lay". As a Brit I'm used to saying "chilly", which is right (ie nearest to how Chileans say it)?
