Chile - dark horses for next years world cup?

[Lady Whistledown]

I like it that Belgium are coming good again. They were big in the 80s, a sort of footballing Bananarama, if you will.

Good for European football to have another team challenging the established powers of Germany, Italy and Spain (not us, of course )

There was a time when tiny Portugal were quite the giant-killers. Long, skinny, wine producers... watch out for 'em.

Surprised Tim Vickery didn't bother to mention Colombia in a positive light, for a side that is joint top of the group and hasn't conceded in 5 home games, I'd make them just as big a dark horse as Chile, if not more so.

Will take an interest in their friendly away to Spain tomorrow night. Will be a test of how good they are against the best side in the world. 9/1 for them to win is a bit of value.

Chile looked good tonight- solid at the back and very quick on the break. Spain equalised at the death via an OG to deny Chile a deserved win.

Chile have some top players plying their trade in very good club sides in Europe (Vidal, Sanchez) they could be a decent bet to reach the last four. I really cant look further than Brazil on their own patch though.
