Netherlands vs Chile Live Stream Free: Watch World Cup 2014 Football Online (ESPN TV Schedule)
The Netherlands will play Chile on Monday to determine who will qualify for the Last 16 as group winners and gain the potentially easier route through the knock out rounds of World Cup 2014. Both teams have 100 percent records so far, managing to defeat Spain and Australia, but now something must give as the teams prepare for the win-or-go-home stage of the competition. The game will start at 12 p.m. ET and can be watched on TV on the ESPN network, or online through free live stream (details below).
Holland will be glad for star striker Robin van Persie to miss today's game to serve out his one match ban before the knock out rounds start. He picked up a yellow card in each of the Netherland's opening two games and so must serve a one match suspension today.
It is also likely that Holland will decide to rest defender Bruno Martins Indi, who suffered a concussion against Australia. They will prioritize getting him back fit and at 100 percent for their Last 16 game.

Meanwhile, Chile could leave out midfielders Arturo Vidal and Charles Aranguiz, as both have slight knocks and have a yellow card to their names already. They will not want to risk another yellow today and have them suspended for the knock out stages.
Many had predicted this game would decide who finished second in this group after Spain. However, the two teams have shocked the world by dumping Spain out of the World Cup after just two games, and now they have the chance to play off for the top spot in the group.
Despite what some might thing there is a significant reward for winning today's game and finishing first in the group. Whoever comes second in this group will have to play the winner of Group A in the next round, and at the moment that looks like it will be hosts Brazil. Most teams would like to avoid Brazil until the latter rounds of the tournament.
