Yes I agree, if the Chileans play their "cards" right they will cook the Italians.

The conventional wisdom said the Italians would win, but.....

The Azurri are very good at the defense and also at "hiding the ball" to protect a lead, but the South American teams if they play with imagination they can become a nightmare to the Italians.

Chile has always been the eternal "promise" team, but never really materialized, perhaps this will be their chance to really shine.

I think their best finish was in '62 when they were the host country.

Italians got lucky with Baggio's kicking the ball straight at the poor Chilean's hand. In the end Chile is happy with a point here although they sure should gotten all three.

Baggio showed his maturity and he almost didn't make the cut for the Italian world cup squawd.

Chile is one of South America best team don't underestimate them. The only reason since you have not seen them at world cup lately is because the had been ban for the last 20 years.

Goooooooooooolazooooooooooooooooooooooo!
