Chile ignoring talk of World Cup lifeline: Coach
Chile coach Eduardo Berizzo says reports that they are set to replace Ecuador at the World Cup have "absolutely no impact" on his players despite a 2-0 defeat Friday to Qatar-bound Tunisia. Reports this week said Ecuador are set to be kicked out of the November-December showpiece for fielding an ineligible player during qualification, with a ruling from FIFA expected soon. FIFA has been investigating claims that defender Byron Castillo, who played in eight of Ecuador's 18 qualifiers, was actually born in Colombia.
