Is Vidal more a Wing Back or CM, i wasn't sure from the graphic above?

Yeah, from what I could see

Bravo; Ponce, Medel, Isla; Carmona; Vidal, Millar; Fernandez; Beausejour, Valdivia, Sanchez

Millar was tucked inside more to allow Isla to run forward

Goals or not, I liked this match. WP Chile :thup:
Chile :thup: One of the better teams I've seen tbh.
Good game by Chile :thup:

They should've score more goals though

All in all, thought it was a good match. Certainly the best 1-0 win I've seen so far....unless I'm forgetting a blatently obvious one that is

These people know what they're talking about, although with what we have had recently it really wasn't hard. :thup:

Only 1-0 but Chile played red hot football... and peppered the Honduras goal with shots.

You suck :D

Good game though, really impressed with Chile. Hopefully the rest of the world takes note on how to play out an entertaining game of football.

As a curiosity, this result takes Chile to its highest ever rating and position in the rankings by football Elo ratings.

If they make it out of the group they may well turn out to be the best team Chile ever had. I for one can easily see them beating Brazil.

Surely Brazil are perfectly set-up to counter against Chile's style?

That said I'd expect Chile to reign themselves in a bit more against Brazil.

Yes, Brazil in Dunga's era always crush Chile:

2007 - Brazil 4-0 (friendly)

2007 - Brazil 3-0 (Copa América)

2007 - Brazil 6-1 (Copa América)

2008 - Brazil 3-0 (Quals, in Chile)

2009 - Brazil 4-2 (Quals, in Brazil)

Chilean players are too undersized compared to Brazilian ones, and since they are a very attacking team, they are too vulnerable to Brazil's counter-attacks.

The Goalie was the highlight of our moment. Spain certainly make things interesting as Honduras will bunker for dear life as Spain will look for a much needed 3 points.

We'll see how they cope against another counter-attacking side that will see 2 very fast players in Edgar and Suazo.
