When nature attacks

Bielsa really wanted the team to play two friendlies on the same day. Obviously, the idea was to use different lineups for both contests. Nevertheless, he still wanted to take the team to the absolute limit by doing this. Now at https://in.1xbet.com/line, you can also wager on all friendlies played by the Chilean squad.

Chile had arranged two friendlies on the afternoon of the 3rd of March 2010 in Santiago. The opponents were going to be Costa Rica and North Korea. Sadly, on the 27th of February, the country was struck by one of the largest earthquakes ever recorded.

Football was also affected by this natural catastrophe. One of the main concerns was the state of the stadiums. In fact, the Uruguayan Football Association contacted their Chilean counterparts and offered them the legendary Estadio Centenario in Montevideo to play the matches. However, the Chilean officials decided to cancel the matches altogether. All matches played at the legendary Estadio Centenario are also available at the 1xBet website to place all kinds of wagers.

A new plan emerges

While the country still recovered from the natural catastrophe, it was reported that Bielsa still wanted a day with two friendly matches. In May 2010 the plan went ahead, and the national teams of Northern Ireland and Israel were invited to play the matches. Make now football betting India on 1xBet on the best friendly matches too.
