“Disculpa Colombia, Disculpa Ecuador”

By: Brian | October 15th, 2009 | No Comments »

With a clinching win last night over Ecuador, Chile solidify their position as being classified for South Africa-bound. This now knocks Ecuador out of contention, allowing Argentina to clinch the fourth-place position.

Bielsa continues to demonstrate the ability to take a young team against world contenders, and will put that team to the test in 2010. Suazo also continues to amaze us with his athletic ability with goal after goal, hearkening back to the time when the 1-2 punch of “Zamorano y Salas” was heard.

As quoted in El Mercurio:
“Chile acabó con la ilusión de Ecuador”, titula el diario El Telégrafo, puesto que “se terminó el sueño”

Lamentamos tener que pisar nuestros hermanos, pero como ya sabemos, el juego es así. Esperemos tenerlos de apoyo para darnos la presencia ante los grandes y potentes en Sudafrica. Queremos avisarles que aunque Brasil siempre aparece en el Mundial, ¡hay otros países Sudamericanos que saben jugar fútbol!

Saludos,

Brian
