He started being Switzerland head coach on 1 July 2008 and after a slow start, guided his squad to a direct qualifying match for the 2010 FIFA World Cup. Watch the World Cup 2010 Switzerland vs. Honduras, it promises to be a great game.

Chile vs Switzerland In FIFA World Cup 2010

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.

Were you delighted being named 2009 Player of the Year in the Emirati league? It is a significant achievement, as it means the work was recognized. That award is a great incentive to achieve more goals and better play.

Do you want to play for a top European club? Of course, but now the priority is to play in the World Cup. My plan is to ensure to make it to the squad for South Africa. If I make it, I will fight to be a starter. I will do all I can to help my team go as far as possible. The outcome of how I play in the World Cup could be a factor in my European move.

Do you think the draw for Chile was a good one on the road to South Africa 2010? The tournament brings the best players of every continent so all the groups are hard. All groups have great teams with ambitions of winning. With regards to Chile’s group, that was the draw. It is impossible to assess if it is good or bad.
