Australia and Chile, the two underdogs of Group B, face off Friday in the first stage of the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.
Spain and the Netherlands opened the Group B schedule Friday afternoon, but the last time those two played in a World Cup game, it was the 2010 final match. Australia and Chile will have to work hard to break out of their group and into the round of 16.

According to FIFA.com, Noumandiez Doue will serve as head referee for the match and assisting him will be a fellow Ivory Coast native, a Burundi official and a Panamanian fourth referee.
The match will be held in Arena Pantanal, a stadium constructed this year for the tournament in the city of Cuiaba. Mexico and Cameroon played in a downpour at mid-day and Spain faced off against the Netherlands in damp conditions. Australia and Chile seem to have clear skies for their match, according to Weather.com.
The extreme heat expected for many of the World Cup matches will also miss this match as the temperature is expected to be in the upper-70s. Most games, especially those in the middle of the day, will be played under the harsh Brazil sun.
Cuiaba is the geographic center of South America and is 2,000km from both the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans.
Chile's national team is making its ninth appearance in the World Cup, since its first in 1930. They best they have done is finish third in 1962.
Australia has only made the World Cup four times and has never finished better than when they reached the Round of 16 in 2006. They have experienced success in the OFC Nations Cup, winning the title four times.
