Take Chile to Glory
“ageing golden boys”
The press pack calls Chile still running on 2016's fumes, and files them as ageing golden boys. The bookmakers put them in the outsiders at 250/1 – 500/1.

- In goal, Claudio Bravo, but chattier. At the back, Elías Figueroa, but he brags about it. Running midfield, Valdivia, but he loves training. Up front, Zamorano, but wearing an actual 9.
One World Cup, forty-odd decisions, no second leg. Pick the shape, name the squad, make the calls from the touchline, and see how far Chile can go. Free to play, one sitting, no sign-up.
