Brazil crushes Chile to reach quarterfinals

Soccer Betting Lines

06/28/2010 - Johannesburg, South Africa (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Juan and Luis Fabiano scored in a four-minute stretch late in the first half, and Brazil cruised to a 3-0 win over Chile on Monday to reach the quarterfinals of the FIFA World Cup.

Juan opened the scoring in the 34th minute and Fabiano added his third goal of the tournament in the 38th. Robinho ended the scoring at Free State Stadium in the 59th.

Brazil will play the Netherlands on Friday in the quarterfinals after the Dutch beat Slovakia, 2-1, on Monday.

Chile also lost to Brazil twice in World Cup qualifying, 3-0 and 4-2.

Brazil created more scoring chances from the start, and Gilberto Silva forced an early save from Chile goalkeeper Claudio Bravo inside 10 minutes. Ramires had a speculative effort go off target in the 15th for Brazil, then neither team was very threatening for an extended spell.

The Brazilians returned to form in the 34th minute when Juan reached a corner kick from Maicon and turned it inside the left post from the edge of the six- yard box. Maicon's corner was placed perfectly into a triangle of Brazilians, and Juan rose to head the ball just as it cleared Fabiano.

With Chile still on its heels, Brazil struck again on a counter attack three minutes later. Maicon played a quick ball out of the back to Fabiano, who sent Robinho down the left. Robinho eventually squared the ball to Kaka, who slipped a pass to Fabiano at the edge of the area.

Fabiano turned as he accepted the pass, made one touch to round Bravo and then fired into an empty net for his third goal of the World Cup.

Brazil continued to expose Chile's defense, which was without starting center backs Gary Medel and Waldo Ponce, in the second half.

Ramires made a darting run through midfield and dropped a pass off to Robinho near the top of the area and he curled a first-time shot by Bravo and inside the right post.

Dani Alves' long blast swerved just wide of the upper-right corner in the 61st minute as Brazil pushed for more goals.

Jorge Valdivia drove an 18-yard shot just over the crossbar on a rare scoring chance for Chile, but Kaka was back at it on the other end seconds later with a shot over the bar from 22 yards.

Robinho was denied a second goal in the 74th when Bravo tipped his effort wide of the left post, then Chile actually showed some life in the last 15 minutes.

Suazo had an effort pushed wide by Brazil goalie Julio Cesar in the 75th, then hit the top of the crossbar in the 78th. Chile could not find a goal, though, as it failed to score a goal for the first time in this World Cup.

March Madness odds and printable March Madness brackets

With the field of 64/65 set, MySportsbook.com has the Florida Gators as the 4-1 favorite to successfully defend their National Championship.  Men’s Division-1 College Basketball has not seen a team repeat as National Champions since Duke won back to back championships in ’91 & ‘92.  After losing three out of four late in the season, the Gators are full of momentum as they won their last four games by an average of 18 points.  Not surprisingly, right behind the Gators are the other three top seeds: Kansas 5-1, UNC 6-1, and Ohio State 7-1.  Many consider Kansas to be the hottest team in the country, having won 11 straight. With Kansas, it is hard to ignore all of the early exits from the “dance” in recent years.  With an impressive ACC Tournament, UNC ensured themselves the other top seed.  UNC has about as much talent as any other team in the tournament but with a team that’s best players are primarily freshman and sophomores, could youth be a concern.  Behind freshman sensation, Greg Oden, OSU will look to do what their football team failed to do just a few months earlier.  OSU seems to have peeked at the right time, as they currently have a 17 game winning streak.  Since the tournament field was expanded in 1985, there has never been an instance where all four #1 seeds advanced to the Final Four.  It is obvious that each of the top seeds have the talent to make it through to Atlanta.  But as everyone knows, when makes the NCAA Tournament so special are all of the spoilers and “Cinderella” stories that knock off the favorites on a daily basis.
