    Raj, Wolverhampton: The reason Spain are in a bit of a mess at the moment is simple - David De Gea should be in goal.

    Tom, Manchester: Say what you will about Alvaro Negredo's goal drought in the second half of the season or Jesus Navas' lack of match fitness, but they both are missed dearly by Spain right now.

    Ragged, ragged stuff from Spain. They are a shell of their former selves out there. It's hard not to think that this great side is unravelling in front of our eyes...

    "That is crazy from Iker Casillas, I'd have caught that. It's an average free-kick and he should catch that all day. Great touch from Charles Aranguiz, a little toe end, you have to give him all the credit in the world

    "If he's punching that he has to punch it wide and there isn't too much pace on the free-kick. I'd say I felt sorry for him if he hadn't made three mistakes against the Dutch but that's a huge mistake from the goalkeeper.

    "It's easy to criticise goalkeepers and I don't say it flippantly but that's a terrible decision from him."

    You can't give Charles Aranguiz that much space!

    Again it's poor goalkeeping from Iker Casillas, who punches out a straightforward free-kick from Alexis Sanchez right back in to danger.

    Hats off to Aranguiz though, whose finish from there on in is magnificent. One touch to tame the spinning ball, before planting a curler into the top corner with the outside of his right foot.

    Spain in a real, real mess. They are heading out of the World Cup...

    Chile ending the half with a good spell. A second goal here could be pivotal...

    Richard Harrison: , externalChile hassling Spain just like the Dutch did - and heading towards the same end result at the moment.

    Luke Edwards:, external Good to see Spain going for the "El Mixer" tactic.

    Alex Nunez: Spain have no midfield. Chile have pressed them very well and Spain are not having a a good evening!

    fromthekidrauhl: Spain are playing badly but Chile are playing dirty. How many fouls have there been already? About a hundred.

    Xabi Alonso's scrappy half boils over into an ugly sliding tackle on Mauricio Isla, and he is booked. The silky smooth man has been sandpaper rough today.

    "Seeing them in the flesh it's painfully obvious that Spain really lack pace in the final third.

    "Only Pedro has the pace to go past people. Andres Iniesta can do it in a silky way but David Silva and Diego Costa don't have the pace to get in behind so everything's in front of Chile at the moment.

    "Tactically Chile have been spot on and their work-rate is excellent. It's about doing it for the 90 minutes because Spain will keep passing and they have got options on the bench. The intense pressure from the Chileans creates sloppiness."

    A few frustrated looks as another slick Spain move comes to nothing. Diego Costa was an island up front again, nobody bursting forwards to join him and Chile's three-man defence snaffled it up. Into the last 10 minutes of the half.

    Andrew Kemp:, external If Spain don't get the ball, they are not going to score. Look really weak in possession and getting caught in midfield.

    Steven Groves:, external Chile look sharper physically than Spain right now. It's a big job for the Spanish to turn this around.

    Diana Spencer:, external What Spain are missing is Alvaro Negredo who they've left out of the squad.

    A lot of people feel that way about Spain, Rob. When they move it at speed they are brilliant to watch but when they slow it down I have to admit it can be tedious. Tedium is not an option for them now though.

    They will be out unless they score at least once.

    Rob, Sheffield: Hopefully Spain will go out and it will be the final nail in the coffin of the hideous and tedious tiki-taka. If I want to watch six midfielders knock it about amongst themselves for minutes on end I will go watch a training session. Chile to win 3-1.

    Nice idea from Jordi Alba with a clever reverse pass but Diego Costa is a few pages behind in the instruction manual. Or is that Manuel?

    Eduardo Vargas, by the way, has scored 13 goals in 17 games for Chile. The Valencia man is a class act.

    BBC Sport's David Ornstein in Rio

    "It is impossible to explain the celebrations inside the Maracana as Eduardo Vargas put Chile ahead but let's just say the wild dance of delight performed by coach Jorge Sampaoli in the technical area was replicated - but with even more vigour - by seemingly every single one of his team's fans in the stands.

    "The widest of smiles, the tightest of embraces and even some tears. The noise is impossibly loud. Spain coach Vicente del Bosque has retreated to his seat in the dugout; his team are under immense pressure to respond, their World Cup title defence hanging by a threat."

    If you were warming your dinner up or on the phone when Chile took the lead, you can see the goal in the Highlights section at the top of the screen. It's a very good one.

    "That was much better from Spain, much more urgency but Diego Costa has to hit the target. It's understandable that he's a bit off it with his injuries but then why is he starting his second game in four days?

    "This is where the big players need to come to the fore. They have to demand the ball, get on it, make things happen.

    "Xavi would still be the one for me to make things tick, ahead of either Xabi Alonso or Sergio Busquets. Now Spain are 1-0 down they have to play with a much higher tempo to get back into the game."

    Spain are up to 57% of possession now, quite a turnaround on that front. But Claudio Bravo has not had to make a save.

    Spain won all four games in the knockout stages 1-0 in South Africa. They don't hammer you as a rule...
