ponsaelius Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 Chile should be a decent watch tonight. Bielsa should be credited for his very adventurous (but slightly suicidal) tactics. They should be one of the more entertaining sides at the World Cup, some of their players are certainly worth looking out for, Alexis Sanchez and Matias Fernadez are particularly good.

Aye I'm gonna give them a watch for a bit (longer if it's canny). Currently got an Alexis Sanchez sticker on my door so I reckon he'll do well. Bam Bam to get all 26 in a comprehensive Chile victory, hopeful. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was only 8/9 when he left Inter, but I remember liking him so he's one of the main reasons when I really got into football about '03 I adopted Inter as my Italian team.

ponsaelius Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 Chile missing alot of big players in this line-up. No Suazo, Sanchez, Fernandez, Vidal, Mark Gonzalez. I don't think they're all sure fire starters but I'd say they're some of their most talented players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 True, but some alarmingly simple passes going astray. Bielsa will want more from the 2nd half. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neil Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 Chile are 1-0 up with 10 minutes to go. Bielsa is going absolutely crazy and I don't blame him; let's just say the passing hasn't exactly improved. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ponsaelius Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 What were the last 2 goals like? EDIT: Ffs, they were 2 crackers aswell. I watched nearly 90 minutes of that poor game and then when my stream goes off near the end and I miss 2 great goals. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 My man* Sanchez got 2. But aye, last 2 were really good, especially the 3rd. As I say, Bielsa was going nuts before those goals and rightly so. The result papers over what was a poor performance but as you say, we'll see how they do with a full team starting. Uruguay have impressed, going to win 4-1 against Israel. Abreu is 1 away from matching the international record. *He's not actually my man but since he's on my bedroom door for reasons I'm not entirely sure of, he's getting my full support.

Segun Oluwaniyi Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 Goodness, Neil you must be in World Cup mode already. Spending all this time watching football. I genuinely cannot understand why someone would invest their time in watching Nigeria-Saudi or Chile-Zambia. The opportunity cost is simply too high for me, mehn. I remember being so excited for all these friendlies when I was a child in '98 and '02, but now I'm really just hoping we can skip toward the last set of warmups and the actual finals.

LooneyToonArmy Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 I know most people don't care, but this is a huge pet peeve of mine: Pedro given #2 in the Spanish squad. A forward playing with a fullback jersey Pedro got the 18, he swapped with Albiol. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye he is a hero of mine too - hence the avatar. Remember him belting out the Chilean national anthem in France 98 and him and Salas destroying England the same year. Think when he was at Madrid it was the first shirt i ever got with a name on the back of it too when i were a nipper. Brilliant all round striker who if he'd moved probably would've very effective in the Premiership. Keep your eyes peeled for a young Willem Dafoe lookalike too.

Can't imagine he'll keep that record for long with Forlan only being a few behind him and Suarez likely to have at least 10 years left at the top unless he gets injury problems. Hope Uruguay do well. Was in Montevideo when they qualified so they're my second team internationally as it was good to join in the celebrations plus it was suprisingly nice country with very friendly people.

Seems to playing some low down club in the Greek league these days, Leviakos or something. I didn't see the game, no. He just caught my eye as one of the few Uruguayan players that played the full 90 mins. I'm curious about him since the loan to Newcastle. Felt a bit exotic with a south-american playmaker. Wasn't to be though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not the offical World Cup song though. It's Coca Cola's offical World Cup Kick-Off song, and the main theme of the WC 10 game. If I'm not mistaken, Shakira is the one who's done the official song. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
