Chile classifies to the soccer worldcup !


The triumph in Colombia the last weekend sealed the qualification of Chile to the next Soccer World cup. This is so relevant for the people of the country because it causes a lot of happiness for almost all. The opportunity to see our team in a world cup is a privilege that we had not enjoyed for a long time ago. Soccer is the most popular sport in our country, and after the world cup of France in 1998 we only lived a lot of soccer frustrations... Until now. The actual soccer team gave us a brilliant participation in the playoffs of South Africa 2010, and now many people in Chile admire their soccer players, and specially the coach Marcelo Bielsa, because he changed the mentallity of Chilean Soccer players, and the quelification is a big achievement of his work.

Many of the soccer players do a great performance in an individual level, but the most important aspect of this team is their almost perfect collective game. However, all the players won the affection of the people beacause they all show sacrifice, hard work and love for the national shirt. Players like Alexis Sánchez ("the wonder child"), Jorge Valdivia ("the wizard"), Matías Fernández ("matigol") or Claudio "the falcon" Bravo are at this moment real celebrities for the people. But in my case, I admire Humberto "the lollipop" Suazo, the big goal scorer of the southamerican playoffs to South Africa, because he gave us incredible joys whit his ten goals, and beacuse he is an humble man that leaves everything in the field.

In June 2010 all the Chileans will do the impossible to see all the matches of our soccer team. These matches will be broadcasted in the morning, so I hope that I do not have any class (or worse, a test!!) in these moments, beacuse I will be obligated to be absent. The next year, all the Chileans will be dreaming with winning the most desired cup: the eternal glory of the Soccer world cup!.
