Chile will face Northern Ireland this June 4, 2014 in
preparatory friendly match for the World Cup Brazil 2014
The eleventh of Chile who staged the World is a friendly
match against Egypt at the Julio Martinez National Stadium where
"Red" came from behind two goals from "The Pharaohs" to end
up winning 3-2 with goals from Marcelo Diaz doublet and Eduardo Vargas, with
assistance from the FC Barcelona forward Alexis Sanchez, who played at a high
level and demanded that Chile is delivered as hard in every game.
Jorge Sampaoli test players in the starting lineup again
be used in the World, now that there is no doubt that the Argentine coach has
already given the official list of 23 players who will go to Brazil on Monday,
2 June to FIFA in the which included the ailing Arturo Vidal.
Chile is part of the group B of the World Cup Brazil 2014
with The Netherlands, Australia and holders Spain, so your chances of
qualifying for the next stage of the contest are civil. However, the country of
"Lone Star" never lower arms and think that it is possible to
eliminate one of the two favorites to clash in the second round in the first or
second in Group A, where is Brazil, Mexico, Cameroon and Croatia.
Northern Ireland, meanwhile, comes in a friendly against
Uruguay in Montevideo, where directed by Michael O'Neill lost 1-0 against
Washington Tabarez, with goals from Christian Stuani 62 minutes.
For Northern Ireland, these friendlies will serve to
prepare the team to fight for a place in the finals of Euro 2016. During its
previous amicable compromise, "Greens" clashed with Cyprus at the GSP
Stadium in Nicosia, with a dull goalless draw.
Historical Balance: Chile and Northern Ireland have met
twice before. The first time was in May 1989 in Belfast, where "La
Roja" won 1-0, and the second time was in Edmonton for the Canada Cup in
May 1995 where Chileans again took 2-1; Northern Irish deducted with Iain Dowie
goal.
