South American nations have had a great World Cup as opposed to the European nations.Tonight's match will see the first South American nation leaving the World Cup in the form of either Brazil or Chile. Already, Uruguay and Argentina have booked their places in the last eight and a third team is going to join them soon.
There is no doubt as to who are the favorites to win this all South American tie. Brazil have looked impressive and with Kaka, Robinho and Elano back into the side they will be all set to go against the Chileans. Chile have had a great world cup so far beating Switzerland to second place in Group H.
It will be interesting to see how coach Marcelo Bielsa manages the team after their 2-1 loss to Spain in the final group game. With the two teams having played each other in qualification, the teams may try and cancel each other. Brazil have been clinical as usual but their defence needs to organise themselves better. They've been caught flat several times in the their three matches only for Julio Cesar to pull out some great saves.
Brazil with Felipe Melo and Gilberto Silva will look to assert their dominance at the center of the park and lay the foundation for their more creative players to score.
An exciting South American battle awaits us!!
