CHILE

THEY ARE:
A country in South America best know for its wine.

AS A FOOTBALL NATION:
They are an outfit who for a while in the nineties (along with Columbia) looked tasty.

MY OWN EXPERIENCE:
Chile are another South American nuisance nation.

IN 2010:
A real mystery, potential dark horses.

FAMOUS PLAYERS:
Their goalkeeper Roberto Rojas always stood out for me. Not least for deliberately injuring himself on pitch to avoid a loss which resulted in a lifetime ban. He looked the type.

MOST OBVIOUS REFERENCE:
Wine.

AWAY FROM FOOTBALL:
Wine.

NUMBER OF PEOPLE FROM CHILE THAT I KNOW:
None.

QUOTE FROM A CHILEAN:
Not at this time.

DO I LIKE THEM:
As with any South American country (to generalize) they hold the potential to be a wicked balance of skillful and tetchy temperament.

FINAL COMMENT:
I feel ignorant.
