Is anyone betting on this? I put money on italy, spain, holland, croatia, mexico, portugual before the tournament. Italy I put most of my stakes on

Bizarre choices Raas.
I've got money on Argentina to beat Brazil in the final at 20/1, Brazil to win with Neymar top scorer at 14/1, Thomas Mueller to be top scorer at 28/1 and a few other singles.
I also had stuck some cash on Spain to win the world cup before this game started as they were 16/1. Wasn't expecting them to capitulate, again.
fuck me, what the hell happened to Spain!? Saying that, as owen pointed out, Chile were awesome. Australia too, did not know they could play football.
Yeah, my reason was - apart from Spain - they were all 25/1 - 80/1 Just put a few quid on each and that's 5 teams who are decent enough to win it (with some luck) if one of them makes it, it will be a good pay out.

This is one of the reasons I like the World Cup... teams will come out & give it their all even if they know they have little chance of winning. Just getting as far as they can is a victory - they want to put on as good a show for their fans (country) as they can.
You really can't play down the importance of the mental aspect of the game at times like these... Spain clearly have the talent to win, they were probably just not prepared for what happened against Holland & in the aftermath, couldn't cope with Chile who were on pretty good form. Maybe, just a laymans guess.... I know fuck all about football really.
