Actually no because the hand is in a natural position and not extended past the body it was more ball to hand without any intent to block the shot - you could by the rules see this as not a penalty. Plenty of balls hit hands in football and it's all about positioning, intent, distance etc.

Nice effort from the Aussies.

Two very good matches from them and it's a shame they have nothing to show for it so far (apart from maybe a golden boot for Cahill for that ridiculous goal)

Correct. Hand balls are only a penalty if done intentionally. If you touch the ball because you can't move out of the way fast enough or if you are protecting yourself, it doesn't count. The Belgian player was clearly just running and, with no time to react, had the ball kicked to where his arm happened to be.

Ref was shit. Bullshit penalty call and Cahill should have gotten red for that tackle on Martins Indi. News so far is that he has suffered a concussion.

Please win this Chile, please please please please. Would be glorious to watch these shit-birds bow out after 2 games. Sanchez/Vidal excellent in that buildup.

Despite all their possession, has 5pa1n had one shot on target yet? Can't seem to remember they have.
