Spain – the Netherlands, World Cup second day header

The first day of the World Cup was only a warm-up for what's next. FIFA has scheduled three matches for the second day of the tournament and probably the header is Spain – Netherlads, a rematch of last World Cup final.

 

The two teams are considered favorites of Group B with the biggest chances of advancing through. The game is schedules at 16.00 local time at Arena Fonte Nova in Slavador and every bookmaker is crediting Spain as the favorite. Spain's “tiki-taka” trademark is the team's choice for this game and for everyone else said Xavi. “We've had this philosophy now for a number or years and it think it would be a mistake to change it. We are going to win of to die with this style of play,” said Barcelona's midfielder.

 

Spain has won the last three major tournaments in world football and they are looking to be the first World Champions to retain its crown since Brazil did it more than 50 years ago.

 

However, the first game of the day is the second one of Group A between Mexico and Cameroon. The match is scheduled at 13.00 local time at Arena das Dunas in Natal. The stadium is a masterpiece and it was built for the World Cup. Its construction costs reached 400 million dollars and has a 45,000 seats capacity. Mexico and Cameroon are both considered outsiders of the group.

 

The last game of the day is scheduled at 19.00 local time in Cuiaba at Arena Pentanal and it will bring face to face Chile and Australia. The South-Americans are considered favorites in the match, but only with the third chance of advancing through.

 

However, Chile's fans received great news after the team's medical staff confirmed midfielder Arturo Vidal is ready to play. The team even received a dramatic message from back home, from the miners that spent more than two months buried 700 meters below ground in a mine. Chile's coach admitted he will show the video to all of his player to get the pumped up for the game and to represent their country with pride.

 

Here's the message:
