Message: [QUOTE="DarthGrumpy, post: 3100227, member: 2141"] Chile's current generation may be currently reaching their upper limits; but, they are historically strong with 9 World Cup appearances out of a tough group, CONMEBOL, which they helped create, and have advanced past into the Round of 16 on 5 occasions with a 3rd Place Finish, each time losing to Brazil. Yes, they did not make it to the 2018 Cup; but, neither did the Netherlands (and the US) and no one, even looking at their programs current struggles, would say that The Orange are a poor program. As for last night, Chile was a good test for the US as they are a tactically aggressive team used to play in big games with some serious talent. The US showed some promise and some glaring weaknesses. The hope is the coaches and players can adjust. [/QUOTE]
