Chilean Miners Lose Friendly Soccer Match To Their Rescuers, 3-2




The team of rescuers that pulled 33 Chilean miners to safety from over 2,000 feet below the Earth’s surface acted with purpose, togetherness…and of course, compassion for the trapped workers. And yesterday, the rescuers used two of those three qualities to beat the miners in a friendly soccer match, 3-2, held in the Chilean capital of Santiago.
Making the rescuers’ victory more impressive is the fact that the team of miners included a former member of Chile’s national team, Frank Lobos. Sure, Lobos is 53 now, but hey, Chilean president Sebastian Pinera – who captained (and scored for) the victors – is 60.
Mostly, though, it’s good to see the miners doing well enough to play in a game like this – although, as the video below alludes, many of them may have their differences over how to proceed with making money off their story, which will inevitably happen through books, movies, TV specials, etc. Video of their match begins at about the 1:08 mark. Hey, you can’t accuse their opponents of taking pity on them.


So, what does this have to do with you?
Well, you need to head down to Chile and start as a Sunday League Player and also unemployed, you can only take jobs in Chile for your first assignment.

Its a fun game down there and a good challenge

Wow, very interesting to hear about the result of that game AND a fantastic seeming challenge which I shall start now

Thanks Posh

Nice information and a very good challenge

Cool challenge and post Posh.

What a legendary thing for the rescuers to organise with the miners!
Nothing like a bit of footy to bring people together xD


I think I shall take up this illustrious challenge of your's Posh, although not tonight

Tomorrow Chile will not know what's hit it (In FM that is)
