Should be a great match up in terms of styles

I think it's dangerous to write off Spain though. Even against Holland, they probably had the better of the first half overall - should probably have gone 2-0 up just before the equaliser.

The capitulation only happened because of poor substitutions leaving them too open and two bad errors from Casillas. They are not in complete disarray like France were at the last world cup.

They've made a big deal in the last few days of the fact that Chile have never beaten them.
