The 2010 World Cup finalists Spain and Netherlands will fancy their chances of entering the knockout rounds from Group B, with Chile and Australia looking to spoil the party. While Spain is not as dominant a side as they were four years ago, they are still expected to be right up there to compete for the title, while the Dutch will want to go one better from the last World Cup and win the title.
Chile definitely have the talent to upset either of the two teams, while Australia will need to play out of their skins to probably just get one point from the group.
