Usually a dependable player, Marcelo Díaz gave fans something to complain about with his poor performance against Germany.
The midfielder gave away the ball just outside his team's box only to watch Timo Werner assist Lars Stindl for the game-winning goal. Despite his team's dominance, La Roja wasn't able to bounce back and lost their first final in three years.
Some of Chile's die hard fans have noticed that Díaz has some problems dealing with his stress in final games, as he was sent off against Argentina last year, complicating things for Juan Pizzi's men.
While some Chilean fans demanded respect for Díaz, most slammed the Celta Vigo midfielder on social media. Scroll down to read their comments & trolls.
