"Serious sport has nothing to do with fair play…it is war minus the shooting."

George Orwell

Brazil Update 5

I was in the stadium as Chile beat Spain 3-1 to knock Spain out of the World Cup. It was a noisy and colourful occasion.

My view of the pitch

The game in progress.

The Chile fans were amazing

and so colourful.

The game probably marked the end of the career of a legend, Iker Casillas.

They look happy....

because Chile have just scored.

The magnificent stadium.
