Goal-scoring is way down in the 2010 World Cup but there's a great lesson to take away thus far: if you want to play defensive, pack 'em in soccer, don't pack a big bag because you won't make it out of the knockout stage.
Spain held on for the 2-1 win over Chile but both deservedly advanced to the round-of-16. Brazil plays Chile at 2:30 p.m. on Monday and Portugal meets Spain at 2:30 p.m. on Tuesday. Both matches are full of juicy possibilites.
Honduras and Switzerland tied 0-0 and frankly, that's what Shimer and I have been preaching. It's not just that we prefer offensive, creative soccer (who doesn't?), we simply want to see the best teams move on. It's very gratifying to see our words come true as the three most boring squads: Greece, Italy and Switzerland are all done.
