My friends, welcome to day 2 of the Fifa Football World Cup 2014. We have three, yes three tasty fixtures for your viewing pleasure today:



(All times are in correct time aka BST)

Mexico v Cameroon could be a spicy fiesta, and we have a replay of the 2010 World Cup final with Spain v Netherlands. I don't know if I'll bother staying up for Chile v Australia.

For those of you who are newcomers to the wonderful world of football soccer soccer, Spain are reigning World and European champions and thus one of the favourites for the tournament, although they have declined slightly over the past year or so, culminating in a sound 0-3 thrashing at the Confederations Cup by none other than Brazil. If you can only watch one game today, you should probably watch Spain v Netherlands. You should watch every game though, seriously.

I think Chile v Australia might be a cracker.

Spain v Netherlands will probably be a bit poo poo.

Here's a brief recap of what the last Holland v Spain match looked like, including De Jongs Fabulous Doom Kick.

I have NEVER received the respect I deserve as the leader and founder of The Masterflock, the internet's largest and oldest Christopher Masterpiece fan group in all of history, and I DEMAND that changes. From now on, you will respect Skinty McEdger!

I've got a really good feeling about Chile/Australia. Honestly I'm hard pressed to think of a single Australia world cup game that wasn't fun to watch for one reason or the other.

I'm looking forward to today's matches op. I stuck £25 on a Spain/Chile double, my gut said Mexico as well but I'm not certain enough to risk it. Am I being too cautious?

No. Mexico is not a safe bet against basically anyone at the WC.

The Dutch have an Eredivisie defence, which should be funny if they make it past Chile.

There was something neat about watching a long term plan by Spain come to fruition, but the atrocious suffocating football they've plauged us with since is unbearable and I hope they never win another trophy again.

Are you in my meeting because I also have a 12-1 EST and am quite upset about it. My boss is from Italy and should know better.

Once Catalonia and the Basque region secede from Spain they will have to give back their trophies. They can get mini trophies that they can share with the Catalans and Basques.
