MATCH THREAD - Spain 0 vs Chile 2 - Group B - 8PM KO (UK Time) - Wednesday 18th June

[Billy Dean]

My stream was about 20seconds behind last night so I knew there was a goal from the celebrations of my Catalan neighbours.

My football team whatsapp group was odd, Real Madrid fans happy because the Barca players were out; and the Barca fans happy because the Madrid players were out.

Partisan melts.

What's the balance like of Catalans cheering for and against Spain over there generally?

50/50.

Barcelona must be one of the few major European cities without big screens showing the games, which is a shame.

There really isn't that much interest in the national team.

You think they'd turn out if Catalonia was a FIFA member?
