It could have all been so different.

Had Mauricio Pinilla's 119th-minute shot against Brazil been a few inches lower and avoided hitting the crossbar, Chile would almost certainly have progressed at the expense of the host team.

But instead of dwelling on what could have been, Pinilla is opting to embrace the moment. Permanently. With a tattoo of his shot on his back that reads "One centimeter from glory."

Never forget.
