06/28/2010 - Johannesburg, South Africa (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Juan and Luis Fabiano scored in a four-minute stretch late in the first half, and Brazil cruised to a 3-0 win over Chile on Monday to reach the quarterfinals of the FIFA World Cup.
Juan opened the scoring in the 34th minute and Fabiano added his third goal of the tournament in the 38th. Robinho ended the scoring at Free State Stadium in the 59th.
Brazil will play the Netherlands on Friday in the quarterfinals after the Dutch beat Slovakia, 2-1, on Monday.
Chile also lost to Brazil twice in World Cup qualifying, 3-0 and 4-2.
Brazil created more scoring chances from the start, and Gilberto Silva forced an early save from Chile goalkeeper Claudio Bravo inside 10 minutes. Ramires had a speculative effort go off target in the 15th for Brazil, then neither team was very threatening for an extended spell.
The Brazilians returned to form in the 34th minute when Juan reached a corner kick from Maicon and turned it inside the left post from the edge of the six- yard box. Maicon's corner was placed perfectly into a triangle of Brazilians, and Juan rose to head the ball just as it cleared Fabiano.
With Chile still on its heels, Brazil struck again on a counter attack three minutes later. Maicon played a quick ball out of the back to Fabiano, who sent Robinho down the left. Robinho eventually squared the ball to Kaka, who slipped a pass to Fabiano at the edge of the area.
Fabiano turned as he accepted the pass, made one touch to round Bravo and then fired into an empty net for his third goal of the World Cup.
Brazil continued to expose Chile's defense, which was without starting center backs Gary Medel and Waldo Ponce, in the second half.
Ramires made a darting run through midfield and dropped a pass off to Robinho near the top of the area and he curled a first-time shot by Bravo and inside the right post.
Dani Alves' long blast swerved just wide of the upper-right corner in the 61st minute as Brazil pushed for more goals.
Jorge Valdivia drove an 18-yard shot just over the crossbar on a rare scoring chance for Chile, but Kaka was back at it on the other end seconds later with a shot over the bar from 22 yards.
Robinho was denied a second goal in the 74th when Bravo tipped his effort wide of the left post, then Chile actually showed some life in the last 15 minutes.
Suazo had an effort pushed wide by Brazil goalie Julio Cesar in the 75th, then hit the top of the crossbar in the 78th. Chile could not find a goal, though, as it failed to score a goal for the first time in this World Cup.

Super Bowl XLIII is now set, the Arizona Cardinals and the Pittsburgh Steelers will meet each other on February 1st in Tampa's Raymond James Stadium to battle it out for the coveted Lombardi Trophy. The game kicks off at 6:00pm ET on NBC with announcers Al Michaels and John Madden covering the on-field action. Super Bowl XLIII betting odds at online bookmaker MySportsbook.com have the Steelers listed as an early -6.5 against the spread favorite.Super Bowl XLIII Betting Odds
Pittsburgh earned their passage to the big game by beating their division rival, the Baltimore Ravens, 23-14 in yesterday's AFC Championship Game. The Steelers jumped on Baltimore early, building a 13-0 first half lead, and never let up on their way to a fairly easy win. Although the Ravens did close to within two points in the fourth quarter, it never appeared as if they had enough offense to pull off the upset.
The Steelers dominating defense held Baltimore to a total of 198 yards while allowing them to convert just three third downs in 13 attempts. Pittsburgh also forced quarterback Joe Flacco into three interceptions, one of which safety Troy Polamalu returned fourty yards for a touchdown.
The Cardinals, by far the playoff team with the longest odds to reach Super Bowl XLIII, did so yesterday with a 32-25 upset of the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC Championship. Arizona charged out of the gates and built a 24-6 halftime lead that had the Eagles venerable defense reeling. Quarterback Kurt Warner and wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald did most of the damage, connecting on three first half touchdowns.
Arizona, however, could not sustain their momentum and the Eagles took a 25-24 with 10:45 left to play in the fourth. The Cardinals, with the franchise's first Super Bowl appearance hanging in the balance, mounted a fourteen play, 72 yard touchdown drive that consumed 7:52 off the clock. Warner hit running back Tim Hightower on a short screen for the go-ahead, game clinching score that will forever live in Cardinal infamy.
MySportsbook.com's Super Bowl XLIII Betting Odds:
Pittsburgh Steelers -6.5 (-110), Over 46.5 (-110), -260 (Money line)
Arizona Cardinals +6.5 (-110), Under 46.5 (-110), +220 (Money line)
