Whilst Switzerland rightly may have grabbed all the headlines in Group H for their defeat of Spain but for me it was Chile that grabbed my attention, partly because of the way they played and partly because I couldn't keep my eyes open for the whole of the Spanish/Switzerland clash.

As I alluded to my first World Cup blog, this game was going to be the key to both teams' chances of progression from the group and it was the Chileans took the initiative.  Whilst most teams so far in the tournament had been on the conservative side, Chile, under the guidance of Marcelo Bielsa, decided that being defensive was for wimps and that they would stick to the modus operandi that served them so well during qualification (take note Pim) and that all out attack was going to be the order of the day.

And what a method of attack it was. Playing at a speed not seen at this World Cup La Roja continually kept their opponents on the back foot and at times the Hondurans looked like a bunch of punch-drunk boxers who collectively wanted to throw in the towel. But it wasn't speed for speed's sake it was speed combined with brilliant, if not audacious skill (take note Theo Walcott). Alexis Sanchez was a prime example of this through his constant running at defenders combined with some mesmerising dribbling skills. His only fault was his propensity to take that one touch too many and ruin an excellent scoring opportunity.

Providing much of the prodding from midfield was Argentinian-born Matias Fernandez who made a mockery of the complaints about the Jabulani ball with his excellent range of passing and delivery from set pieces.

It was not only the Chileans' speed in attack that had La Bicolor on the back foot but much in the mould of Barcelona, Bielsa has them well drilled in getting the ball back as soon as possible after losing the possession thus restricting their opponents chances of mounting a decent attack of their own.

However what will be of concern to Bielsa will be his teams lack of prolificacy in front of goal and the absence of striker, Humberto Suazo was sorely felt. With the Swiss-Spain result that followed, the Chileans may be left ruing the fact that they didn't score more than one goal, as goal difference may well be very important in this group.

Next up for the Chileans will be the well drilled Swiss and it will be interesting to see how both teams react to each other. Will the Swiss come more out of their shell against the Chileans? How will La Roja cope under more offensive pressure? Out of the two teams, a win for Chile is probably seen as more important with their last game being against Spain. A game that will now be of huge importance to both sides.
