Actually I don't think so. As our old friend Hamlet said there is something rotten in the state of Denmark. Yes the 5-1 thrashing by Holland could be a fluke result but I think there is more to it. Carlos Puyol is a massive loss and players like Xavi and Iniesta are now past there sell by date. There seemed to be a lack of leadership against Holland. I think this Spanish teams decline is greater then the bookmakers would have you believe..
Chile are not a bad side (better then what they showed against the Aussies) and while history suggests Spain should win I think Chile gets a result here.
+140 Chile plus one seems rather generous when you consider the circumstances and I am happy to take it.
