There was a massive moth infestation at the stadium on the day of the final.

imagine iceland, but with good technique, some heavyweights (alexis, vidal, medel, bravo), and a solid bench. (yes, medel is not "famous", but he defends like a beast)
their current manager is kinda bleh, but the squad rules.
you should have seen your favorite prem star playing through an early injury in the final. he had to be taken out near the end, and the next day he looked like this:
"i stood all that i could... and i was worth it!!! very happy."

I remember really liking Chile at the last WC. I don't doubt that they'd give any of the big Euro teams a hard time but, to Soup Nazi's point, I'd never go so far as to say that they 'would' beat any of them, just because I don't think any team 'would' beat any other: could, definitely; should, maybe; but never would.
What's certainly true, though, is that none of the big European teams look that great at the moment and that it may well be true that the top South American sides have the edge on them at the moment. But you can't really base much on the outcome of two parallel tournaments, although it does make the next WC really interesting. I'd love to see Chile win that.
