Well, hardly possible, if spain wins against Chile n Australia they have 6points,if Chile beats Netherlands they have 6 points as well,and the dutch too, might end up the dutch out.... Noone will go through second place as u face a stronger team and well yes spain needs to come from a few goles behind but i think its doable, but interesting

Will be hard for Spain to go on plus after 5-1 )

Well they need score a few but i think teams like Chile and Australia play different to Netherlands so u get more chances. Maybe haha

My bad for not clarifying my post. I only think Holland will be in a position to rest players (to prevent yellow card accumulation or rest minor injuries) if they beat Australia by several goals to create what should be a safe goal differential. I was checking some of Austrilia's post-qualification friendlies from this season and saw they suffered a pair of 6:0 defeats to Brazil and France respectfully in addition to blowing a 3 goal lead in a 3:4 loss to Ecuador. I understand they're friendlies and not sure if the starters played but it was those three games that got me thinking a situation where the Dutch have a GD of +8 or more after the Austrilia game is possible, which could lend itself to a situation where they may be able to rest players for the final game.

Uruguay 1-0 Costa Rica at half.

I go to 3-0 at the end!

Joel Campbell scored for Costa Rica, 1-1 I didn't expected to this

EDIT: 2-1 for Costa Rica, are you joking...
EDIT: 3-1 for Costa Rica, Ureña M. is scoring few seconds after he came on the field... lucky him!

Honestly I don't think England have good chances at WC.

2-1 for Italy, the fight will be between Uruguay and England now.

Back on topic.

Todays games still to play are:

Switzerland v Ecuador
France v Honduras
Argentina v Bosnia & Herzegovina

I'll be supporting Switzerland, Honduras and Bosnia.

If Costa Rica can beat Uruguay so well, then England must have a good chance against them. Assuming Italy beat CR, then it could all come down to a straight shootout between Costa Rica and England for qualification. So England are far from out of it.
