World Cup 2010: Chile will play against Switzerland on 21/06 16:00 in Nelson Mandela Bay/Port Elizabeth

The teams’ recent return after an absence of 12 years is resurgence to the FIFA World Cup™ finals in the international scene since 1998 in France, when Ivan Zamorano and Marcelo Salas showed off their finishing skills, La Roja believe they have the characteristics to duplicate their predecessors and advance higher than the group phase.

Coached by the veteran Argentinean Marcelo Bielsa, Chile qualified for the finals quite easily, having poor performances in the qualifying competitions for Korea/Japan 2002 finishing ninth and Germany 2006 when they finished seventh. And finally finding talented substitutes to fill the vacuum left by the Za-Sa partnership, they have high hopes that they can excel themselves in South Africa.

 

On their way to South Africa, Bielsa’s team has the youngest age average of all the South American teams. They managed to finish second in the continental qualifying group. They are just a point shy of Brazil. This is their best performance since the introduction of the group format. It ended with a spectacular 4-2 win last October in Colombia, a result that secured their return to the world limelight with one game to spare.

To sum up, La Roja won 16 of their 33 points out of Santiago, a very impressive statistic that underscores the determination of the team. Expectations further rise due to the fact that the attacking Chileans finished the group with 32 goals, the second-highest scorers, including ten from Humberto Suazo their top marksman and garnered ten wins in all which is more than any of their competitors from their continental.

As expected from a compact team that loves to take all the opportunities to move forward, Chile’s star players are found in different positions. The leaders are Alexis Sanchez, Matias Fernandez and Humberto Suazo these players teamed up to produce great results for domestic giants Colo Colo in 2006 but have gone to their separate ways.

Fernandez and Sanchez form a new breed of footballer eager to build a great reputation abroad. And the experienced Suazo is a great finisher with a sense for showing up in the right place at the right time.

Their coach Marcelo Bielsa was the man who took charge of Argentina when they lost their chance at the 2002 FIFA World Cup Korea/Japan. The exit in the Orient of La Albiceleste on the first round was a shock that lingered. Bielsa now has the chance to redeem him self in Chile’s revival. Watch the World Cup 2010 Chile vs. Switzerland and fill the thrill.
