The classification of Chile to the World Cup


Chile ranked second in the South American tournament for the World Cup. This is important because Chile had never won such place in the qualifiers for this tournament. Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay, Colombia, are below us. Brazil alone is beyond us! Cool no? Among other things, this is important since the World Cup is one of the sports tournaments in the planet. In this respect, is important to say that soccer is the most popular sport around the globe. The importance of access to a world cup is so much greater. Finally, it is important for Chile have entered the World Cup because now Chile can ... win the world cup!

Chilean soccer team has many good players. My favorites are el mago ("The magician") Valdivia and Alexis Sanchez, el niño maravilla ("the boy wonder"). Another player I like is el chupete (“pacifier”) Suazo. I like them because they are very adept at handling the ball and great goal scorers. Suazo is the player who made more goals in qualifying for South Africa South America 2010! Another important player was Marcelo Salas, el matador (“the killer”), although already retired from soccer. However, because of his great technique and footballing skills, marcelo always be remembered as one of the largest Chilean soccer players. Moreover, their contribution to South Africa 2010 qualifiers were lots of goals.

Personally, I see the world via televisión. I will support the team from afar. South Africa is too far away, the plane ticket and stay in that country is very expensive and I do other things in Santiago. Although, anyway, of course I like to go to 2010 World Cup. In South Africa, besides soccer matches, I'd like to visit the tourist attractions of the country ... and the jungle! I do not think there is a danger that lions eat me! ¿or not?

  1. Good, Miguel.

    I would like to comment on the following,

    The sentence " this is important since the World Cup is one of the sports tournaments in the planet..." is wrong because it should have a complement like " this is important since the World Cup is one of the sports tournaments in the planet THAT IS AIMED AT BY MANY PEOPLE" or " this is important since the World Cup is one of THE MOST IMPORTANT sports tournaments in the planet."

    And, the sentence " In this respect, is important to say that ..." Should be,"In this REGARD, IT IS...."

    And, "It is important for Chile TO have qualified for"

    Also, "Marcelo will always be remembered as..." And "one of the BIGGEST soccer players"

    Don´t say " their contribution to South Africa 2010 qualifiers were lots of goals."

    Say, "their contribution to South Africa 2010 QUALIFICATION WAS lots of goals."

    AND FINALLY, SAY, "I DON´T THINK LIONS WILL EAT ME!"
