That's my reaction to Spain's result. They were open again, and are

everyone's team to beat

If Spain advance from the group, they'll be a lot of grumbling about boring play. But Switzerland 2010 and Holland 2014 will show why they play like they do

Chile remind me a lot of Spain too. If they don't sure up themselves defensively, then teams like Holland will admire their play but win

Top class football is ultimately about formation and making sure you don't give anything away. The group stages are fun, but I expect it to slow down by the quarters
