Chile - Group B
Despite having never won a major trophy, Chile has frequently been a major competitor on the international stage. This squad seems like the archetypical third-place team, but its qualifying campaign has been full of promise, including a high-profile win over England in a friendly in the fall.
Players to watch: Juventus’s Arturo Vidal is the kind of box-to-box midfielder that runs the modern game. Barcelona’s Alexis Sanchez will provide the attacking threat.
Prediction: It depends on the Dutch. Third in the group seems most likely, but if Holland chokes or Chile soars, a place in the round of 16 awaits.
