Chile Classifies for World Cup 2010!

October 11th, 2009 | By: Brian | 3 Comments »

CHI, CHI, CHI, LE, LE, LE, VIVA CHILE!!!!!

With a decisive victory, including an autogol given to Colombia, Chile has now claimed the third slot in South America behind Brazil and Paraguay with a 4-2 win. There were several highlights of the game, including a spectacular header and a long shot that demonstrated a unified, well-played team.

But the strangest part is that Maradona, the darling Argentine turned coach is now viewed as “por el suelo” as he struggles to lift Argentina to classify. In turn, Marcelo Bielsa, La Roja coach, was rejected in “la patria Argentina” and found a home over the Andes. It is with irony that we now see him lift a struggling selección Chilena while the residents of the Silver River wonder why they even put “El Diego” in the driver’s seat.

Good for Chile, lets see if they actually do something in the World Cup… they’ve never won a Copa America or even finished 4th in a World Cup but its all good, everyone has to take baby-steps when it comes to football.

Agreed, they may not have done much since their hosting in ‘62, but with Bielsa at the wheel, they may be able to show better than their last appearance in 2002 where they were eliminated by Brazil in the second round. We can only hope…
