Leander Schaerlaeckens: Good night!

Leander Schaerlaeckens: We'll be back soon. In the meantime -- all together now! -- go to ESPN.com/WorldCup.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Thanks for all the lovely things you've all said. Even you, Toby.

JemeleHill: Jack: No, not yet. Gonna get some advice from Emily

JemeleHill: *Takes a bow*

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Thanks, man.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: I'll be at Portugal-Spain, Tommy.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: The last Englishman still in the tournament? I'm kind of torn. He let more fouls go than he should have and missed a blatant penalty. But he also allowed the game to acquire a flow. If he'd whistled for every game this would have been a very drab affair.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: This was the first game in which they were really very convincing against a strong opponent.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: After seeing that, Brazil.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Brazil moves on and will face the Netherlands in Port Elizabeth on Friday.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Game over!

Leander Schaerlaeckens: But his delivery was all off.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Bastos did so well to make his way into the box!

JemeleHill: Me: Referring to stories, but while we're on the subject, I do make an awesome turkey chili.

JemeleHill: Gonzalez, who is from Durban, really racheted up his play in his homeland.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Great spirit they had.

JemeleHill: Think I've written more stories about Chile than any other country. I'm a little sad that they're on their way out.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Bastos played it off to Ramires, who airmailed his delivery.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Brazil breaks away again.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: I don't know what Bielsa told them, but this team isn't giving up, even down three goals down to Brazil with a few minutes to go.

JemeleHill: You had me until...Miller Lite. Not a favorite.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Chile is still playing with ferocious intensity.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: And 25 by a guy in Soweto.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: She's been offered 100 by the dude who guards the door of the ESPN room in the IBC.

JemeleHill: Not enough. The bidding STARTS at 100

JemeleHill: I'll marry you, but you have to sign a pre-nup

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Beausejour's cross is headed away by Bastos.

ESPN Stats and Info: If Chile fails to score, it will be Brazil's 46th clean sheet in World Cup history.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: I think it's time to tell the cow story, Jemele.

JemeleHill: Emily: Happy to hear that. You know, marriage is a serious step.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Robinho is off.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Beausejour just wide!

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Bastos's cross is slightly long for Nilmar, who could only head it over.

JemeleHill: I wonder how Emily is faring.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Kleberson's cross to Robinho falls short.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Because you haven't hit refresh.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Kleberson, who apparently is still alive, on for Kaka.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Maicon sliced a nice ball off the outside of his foot to Robinho, but he couldn't keep it in.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: This game really is over but nevertheless intense.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Suazo's volley on the Chilean corner bounces off the top of the bar!

Leander Schaerlaeckens: So close!

ESPN Stats and Info: Looking ahead, Brazil and the Netherlands have faced each other three times before in the World Cup. 1974 semis: NED 2, BRA 0. 1994 quarters: BRA 3, NED 2. 1998 semis: Tied 1-1 (BRA advanced 4-2 on PKs).

ESPN Stats and Info: There have been 2,673 throw-ins so far in the 2010 World Cup

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Nilmar fed Robinho who slotted it into the goal but was offside.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Nilmar is on for Luis Fabiano.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Suazo turned away twice from Luzio but his shot was well saved by Julio Cesar!

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Shout out to Katherine!

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Alves's corner is cleared.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Someone's working on his market value.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Robinho was off to the races after a nice ball from Alves but he went for his own glory, instead of playing it to Fabiano, who was in front of goal.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Valdivia tries to play it into Vidal but the ball is just short.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Ramires really did deserve that card. He chopped both legs out from under Alexis Sanchez.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: He said in three words...

JemeleHill: Suspension city

Leander Schaerlaeckens: He's out for the quarterfinals against the Netherlands.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Ramires gets a yellow.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Robinho takes the ball all the way up the field and ignores the many options he had to pass to until he got himself stuck.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: TO be brief.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Played short, sent in, cleared out.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Corner to Chile.

ESPN Stats and Info: The ball has been passed 43,118 in this World Cup. Argentina has the most passes with 2,163. Honestly.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Kaka curls it just over!

Jeff Carlisle: Nah.

Jeff Carlisle: I wonder if this game would have turned out differently if Medel, Ponce, and Estrada had all be eligible.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: One Stat Changes Everything.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: You can't buy that kind of statistical insight, folks. You can only get it for free, here in the GameCast.

ESPN Stats and Info: Brazil's 75% passing accuracy would be the lowest in their World Cup history in a match in which they scored at least three goals.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Valdivia flipped the ball off the ground for himself, but his volley went over.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: OOH!

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Vidal's shot is blocked by Juan.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: After seeing Italy, France and England make a mockery of competitive spirit, that's really refreshing.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Chile just keeps on coming.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Sanchez keeps a long cross in and Bastos knocks it out for a corner.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Into the wall.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: 25 yards.

ESPN Stats and Info: Brazil is 37-0-0 when scoring three goals and Brazil is 29-0-4 under Dunga when Kaka and Robinho play

Leander Schaerlaeckens: A long free kick for Chile.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: What about Man City?

ESPN Stats and Info: Brazil is 14-0-0 under Dunga when Robinho scores.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: That math makes sense to me!

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Isla is off for Rodrigo Millar.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Not at all far from the top right corner!

Leander Schaerlaeckens: A launched one from 40 yards!

JemeleHill: So if Brazil is 45-0 when up 2-0, then they must be 400,000-0 when up by 3 goals, right Stats?

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Alves just misses!

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Chile making its third sub.

ESPN Stats and Info: This is the 37th time Brazil has scored at least 3 goals in a World Cup match.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Ramires set him up in the box and Robinho curled it around the goalie.

JemeleHill: Wow, 8 goals in 6 matches vs. Chile for Robinho

Leander Schaerlaeckens: This Brazil train is steaming into the quarterfinals against the Netherlands. And you can't imagine a team you'd like to play loss.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Robinho!

Leander Schaerlaeckens: 3-0!!!

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Beausejour and Valdivia combined on the left, but Isla eventually committed a foul, ending the promising attack.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Chile has no desire whatsoever to surrender.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: What an intense game this is.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: He played it off to Robinho who finaggled a corner.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Lucio charged up on one of his trademark solos.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Corner to Brazil.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: This game is being fought in the midfield now.

JemeleHill: A FASTBALL by Leander!

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Ok one more.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Congratulations to Jonathan and Emily, even if you are two stoned dudes in a basement in Nebraska.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Focussing on game now.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Sloppiness setting in as consequence of Cupid-activities.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Chile doesn't make good on it.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Brazil with a good free kick here.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Suazo couldn't get to it as the ball skipped to Julio Cesar.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Stunted.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Valdivia tries to poke it through but comes up short. Chile's attack goes on.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Dani Alves boots that beach ball masking as a state-of-the-art soccer ball but it blows over as a life guard runs by.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Yellow for Vidal for knocking over Kaka.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: I'm very glad to report that this half has resumed as furiously as the other did end.

JemeleHill: Or they'll be too fearful to tell 'Emily' she isn't the one

Leander Schaerlaeckens: The second half is underway.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Perhaps two dozen Emilys will get engaged tonight, as some very lazy boyfriends -- now fiancees -- take credit.

JemeleHill: About 100 Emilys just caught their breath

Leander Schaerlaeckens: You're a very lucky woman, Emily.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Even if that's not real, it was at least original.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: I think we're pretty safe in the assumption that there are no Beckies watching a soccer feed anyway.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Hahahaha! That's great.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: As Homer Simpson said: I live to give.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: It is.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: If this doesn't make your time sheet, I don't know what will.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Let's all get along in this wonderful world of World Cup.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Sorry, Toby. That wasn't nice of me.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: *Sniff*

JemeleHill: Yeah, Toby does not sound like a fan

Leander Schaerlaeckens: I think I've annoyed Toby, who doesn't know the offside rule.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: False! Luis Fabiano was very much onside.

Jeff Carlisle: The don't call him "Loco" Bielsa for nothing.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: The Chilean coach stomps off into the tunnel.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Half-time.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Zing!

Jeff Carlisle: Yes, it has gone quickly. Kind of like Chile's hopes of winning this game.

ESPN Stats and Info: Brazil: 45-0-0 when going up by 2 goals in a World Cup match.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: How quickly this game has gone!

Leander Schaerlaeckens: One minute of added time.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: On another quick attack, Fabiano lets the ball slip too far away and forces himself off to the side, where the attack dies a quick but painless death.

ESPN Stats and Info: Fabiano has now scored 28 goals in 44 matches for Brazil while 4 of Juan's 8 goals have come against Cihle.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Maicon cross it but Luis Fabiano's header went over.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Brazil on the ball by the Chilean box.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: He got stuck in a seat with no Internet. We're all crushed.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: A nice run was no use when Bastos headed away the chip.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Chile in possession.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Michel Bastos with a shot but it's off the mark.

Jeff Bradley: No one can rope-a-dope like Brazil

Jeff Bradley: I will repeat what I said a while ago. I commend Chile for trying to throw the first punch, but...

Leander Schaerlaeckens: What a rollicking game this has been thus far!

Jeff Bradley: Brazilian fans parading an enormous World Cup trophy around the stands

Leander Schaerlaeckens: The referee motions to be tolerating no more of this guff for about the sixth time.

Jeff Carlisle: I think it's time for Mr. Webb to start throwing out some cards. He keeps giving players the international sign for "That is your final warning."

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Fabiano is elbowed on a header.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: It was Robinho's speed that launched it, Kaka's precise through ball that enabled it, and Fabiano's outstanding finish that ended it.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Fabiano slipped past the goalkeeper and booted it into the empty net.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: That attack was over in the blink of an eye.

JemeleHill: It's amazing how well-organized that attack was. Tremendous.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Robinho and Kaka combined to set up Fabiano on the run, who was onside by inches.

Jeff Carlisle: Kaka. Genius.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Luis Fabiano with his third goal of the tournament!

Jeff Bradley: spectacular touch pass by Kaka

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Brazil's well-oiled counter-attack strikes again!

Leander Schaerlaeckens: 2-0!!!

Leander Schaerlaeckens: GOAL!!!!

ESPN Stats and Info: Chile is the shortest team in the World Cup with an average height of 5'9

Jeff Carlisle: That one come-from-behind win for Chile was at home it should be pointed out.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Chile presses for an equalizer before the break, which it certainly deserves.

ESPN Stats and Info: Brazil are 52-2-4 (w-l-d) when scoring first in the World Cup. Chile are 1-13-2 when allowing first. Chile's lone win came against Switzerland in 1962

Jeff Carlisle: Brazil have been hitting a lot of corners to the back post in this game, it finally paid off.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Juan shielded himself from the Chilean defenders by standing behind a few teammates and then jumping over everything and everyone and nodding it hard into the back of the net.

JemeleHill: Nice wall by his teammates, too

Jeff Bradley: Those are some hops

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Superb header by Juan to put Brazil ahead!

Leander Schaerlaeckens: GOAL!!!

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Maicon plays it off Contreras for the corner.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: But if the ref spots a flop that blatant, he really ought to give a yellow.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Actually, he flopped.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Maicon is knocked down and doesn't get a foul call.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Chile's coach certainly isn't satisfied.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Both coaches look very nervous.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Chile's audacity is really refreshing.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Brazil's defense again put to the test.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Suazo's free kick is into the wall.

Jeff Carlisle: Kaka has found his inner Zidane.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Kaka, who has just returned from a suspension, gets a yellow.

ESPN Stats and Info: Brazil has only completed 74% of its passes in this match. Brazil came into the match with a pass accuracy of 87%, second best in the tournament behind Spain (88%).

Leander Schaerlaeckens: The ref was letting everybody get away with it until just now, when he called Kaka for a foul on Vidal.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: This is a very, very physical game.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Beausejour got way up the field but got himself stuck.

Jeff Carlisle: I agree that Lucio had a pk claim, but I think he oversold it.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: But it was very crowded. This missed call seems forgiveable.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Brazil really was robbed of a penalty there.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Juan heads it wide.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Another corner is all they get.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Lucio was again taken down and he probably had a very valid claim as Contreras kicked his legs out from under him.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: A Brazilian corner and there was a call for a penalty!

Jeff Bradley: I appreciate that Chile tried to throw the first punch here. But I've seen Brazil absorb before, and that's when they can be most dangerous

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Headed away.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Maircon with the free kick!

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Several heads came flying in dangerously, but Lucio was showed away and got a foul call.

ESPN Stats and Info: Chile has only won 44% of the tackles in this match compared to 86% for Brazil.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Suazo with the corner.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Corner to Chile. Beausejour's free kick barely touched Maicon's jersey.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Brazil now settling into a spell of possession here, as the first half is halfway gone.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: A nice view never goes out of fashion, Jemele, you should know that. You live in Florida.

ESPN Stats and Info: Brazil when allowing a first half goal: 25-7-4. However, Chile are 8-0-3 when scoring first

JemeleHill: Any minute now, someone is going to ask ESPN Stats how many kids they will have, or whether buying oceanfront property is a smart real estate move.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: It's sort of interesting, because this Brazil side was built for the purpose of counter-attacking. But lately, they've had to relearn to attack for much of the time. And today, facing a team against which they can sit back, Brazil doesn't seem to know how to handle it.

Jeff Bradley: Just beware. Sometimes yoiu think you're getting the best of Brazil...and that's when they pounce

JemeleHill: I like J'Hill-ed better

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Chile, which can be described as playing similarly to Spain, is really taking the game to Brazil.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Brazil is getting J-Hill'ed too, as Chile is making an absolute mockery of its status of underdog for this game!

Jeff Carlisle: Don't you mean j-Hill'ted?

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Readers, you've been J-Hill'ed.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Thanks, Statsie, for always pandering to our readers' unreasonable requests.

JemeleHill: Fun fact: If you say 'ESPN Stats and Info' three times in the mirror, you are teleported to the 5th dimension.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Brazil seem sort of shocked at how Chile is going after them. They're evidently not used to chasing the game.

ESPN Stats and Info: Coming right up...

JemeleHill: Stats, the people are trying to test you.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Say please, Mike.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: It says a lot about Chile's play that Brazil is resorting to shots from distance.

ESPN Stats and Info: Chile won both matches where they had the most possession, but lost against Spain with just 42%.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Right at Bravo.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Ramires with another bomb from long!

JemeleHill: They are off to a rousing start

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Chile with 55 percent of possession!

Jeff Carlisle: Julio Cesar, with the baggiest goalkeeper outfit at this World Cup.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Sanchez reached Suazo whose lob hadn't enough oomph on it.

JemeleHill: Steve: Shout-out to the state of Michigan. Special shout-outs to Michigan State and the West Side of Detroit (my old stomping grounds)

Leander Schaerlaeckens: This is a furious game!

ESPN Stats and Info: Brazil have not conceded a first half goal in their last nine matches.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: *tears up* I needed that, Mr. Mystery. Thank you.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Dani Alves to Robinho who went for an adventure, but he and Fabiano weren't on the same wavelength.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: No.

JemeleHill: That's not an overstatement at all.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: What a game this is turning out to be, eh?

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Gilberto Silva's shot it had been to start the trouble.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: His shot went wide. Could have played it off.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Kaka!

Leander Schaerlaeckens: A Brazilian shot whistles wide!

Leander Schaerlaeckens: OOOH!

Jeff Carlisle: Statsie is a distant relation of the HAL 9000.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: The first corner is put behind. Number two ont he way.

JemeleHill: A fun fact: In their last six international meetings, Brazil has outscored Chile 25-3. Ouch.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: They alternate game by game.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: It's a real boy! With feelings, and hopes and dreams.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Corner to Brazil though.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Maicon surged up the field but got stuck in the corner.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Also true.

Jeff Carlisle: Yes, Drew, you are correct.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: By that measure alone, it exceeded all things FIndley-istic.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: At least he got a shot off.

ESPN Stats and Info: Expect a goal from Chile in this match. Currently, only Italy (14) have scored in more consecutive World Cup matches than Chile (9).

Jeff Carlisle: That finish was, dare I say, Findley-esque.

JemeleHill: Just a bit outside for Fabiano

Jeff Bradley: Yes, but as quick as you can type that, Brazil on the quick counter

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Fabiano broke away on a beautiful ball, but his shot was way wide.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Would anybody else agreed that Brazil has gotten dominated in these first four minutes?

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Isla with a cross that's snapped up by Julio Cesar. But it was dangerous!

Leander Schaerlaeckens: I have high hopes for this one.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: This is a nice fast-paced game from the off here.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Oh, the childhood traumas we suffer.

Jeff Carlisle: Not for the first time, Leander. The PA announcer at my Little League games used the same pronunciation. It took many hours of therapy to get over that.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Short corner, Sanchez's shot is blocked by Alves.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Chile gets an early corner.

Jeff Carlisle: Fo-Shizzle!

Leander Schaerlaeckens: We couldn't possibly start without Car-lee-sleigh, as a local called him the other day.

JemeleHill: Car-lizzle!

Leander Schaerlaeckens: This game is a go!

Jeff Carlisle: Carlisle in the house, barely in time for the kick-off.

Jeff Bradley: Nice depth

Leander Schaerlaeckens: So we'll see Dani Alves and Ramires in their places. (Elano is indeed injured.)

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Felipe Melo is also out with an injury.

ESPN Stats and Info: Chile made more fouls than any other side in the 2010 World Cup group stages (62) and received the most yellow cards (10).

Leander Schaerlaeckens: I'm guessing this is the repercussion.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Elano came off injured against Ivory Coast -- a victim of their shameless hacking.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: You're a big man, Jeff Bradley.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Anthem time!

Jeff Bradley: Up the Dutch! Congrats Leander

ESPN Stats and Info: This is the 4th time that two South American teams have met in the Round of 16. The last time was 1998, Brazil beat Chile 4-1

Leander Schaerlaeckens: No worries.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Like all answers to life, it can be found on ESPN.com/WorldCup

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Very nice.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Check out Rachel Ullrich's preview for this game here!

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Yeah. Woops. Long day!

People getting overly upset on the Internet? NEVER!

Leander Schaerlaeckens: You should! We've scored a nice, fresh-picked baggie of Chris for this game. He should join us any minute.

JemeleHill: Let's hope so. I haven't seen Chris in about 10 days. I'm starting to get the shakes.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: I think so. They're a handy side. Yes, Brazil has to be the favorite, but this certainly won't be a walkover.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: I'm holding out hope here, Chris.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Leandro would work better, no? Remember him? He played for Fiorentina, I think.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Let's see what's come in the mail.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: There's the first!

JemeleHill: *cough, cough* :)

Leander Schaerlaeckens: We should have a full house of reporters today, as I'll eventually be joined by a slew of my esteemed colleagues.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Welcome back, everybody. We'll be covering one of the big poobahs of this tournament, Brazil, as they face off with Chile, a surprisingly strong team in this Round of 16 game.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Apologies for the delay. Was finishing up a column on the Netherlands.

Leander Schaerlaeckens: Leander art here!
