Chilean football team: Finally dead

This entry would be in English in order for me to practise my English that many times I try to avoid. For the English people who still remember the 2 - 0 in Wembley previous France 98' in which Chile surprised everybody with that score that humilliated the English team.Well, nowadays, the image of that team remains as a vague memory as for the escond straight time, the Chilean football team got eliminated yesterday. Although this time the team did much better than the previous one (Korea-Japan), it certainly wasn't what we chileans expected from them. It really hurts, besides the elimination, that there was no single match in which this team was absolutely cuperior to their opponents. Yes, we got many opportunities to get the tickets to face Australia, but this team did not have the merits to do that. I don't know what is going top happen for the next qualifying process, but one thing is certain, a change has to be made. This change means firing many of the directives of ANFP (in English, the National Professional Football Association) who are only worried of keeping their pockets full rather than for the nation's future in Football. It is also necessary to fire the president of this association, Mr. Reinaldo Sanchez who is one, if not the worst, president that our country has had. Hoping that many things change for the next period, I have to say for now, Chilean football team, Rest in Peace!

I dont think that "Don Choco" is the most responsable character in this play, but i agree with you that we need a change. Im not sure if Acosta should lead the "RED" in the following qualyfing process, but i hope that our new young players can give us the happiness of reaching, once again, the World Cup.
South Africa is expecting us. See you in 2010.
