And so, thanks to the farce wanted by FIFA, we still had to take the field and score a goal against … ghosts.

The reason for the Russian withdrawal?

Chile, my beloved and wonderful country, had fallen for two months under the vicious, ruthless and bloodthirsty dictatorship of General Pinochet and his ferocious mob.

The dream of a democratic, free, autonomous and finally independent country from the increasingly suffocating yoke of the United States of America and its economic policy that was killing our country ended on 11 September last year.

With the death of our President Allende, this dream was shattered.

Today there is no alternative.

Either you think like ‘them’ or … it is better not to think
