Like the last couple games we’ve (semi-)liveblogged, we won’t try to keep up with the game play-by-play, but we will post some thoughts and observations on the flow of play and on the individual players.

This match just kicked off a few minutes ago.  It should be an interesting and competitive match, as both teams won their opening games: Chile impressed in defeating Honduras; while Switzerland shocked the world by upsetting Spain.

Starting lineups:

Chile: Bravo, Isla, Jara, Ponce, Vidal; Carmona, Medel; Sanchez, Fernandez, Beausejour; Suazo

Switzerland: Benaglio; Lichtsteiner, Von Bergen, Grichting, Ziegler; Behrami, Huggel, Inler, Fernandes; N’Kufo, Frei

Time-stamped observations after the jump…
