SANTIAGO - Chile are arranging two World
Cup warm-up matches on the same day next month against Northern
Ireland and Israel, local media reported on Tuesday.
The Irish and Israeli sides will face two different Chile
line-ups on May 30 in a southern Chilean city yet to be named,
Bio-Bio radio said.
Chile had to cancel a double-header on March 3 against
North Korea and Costa Rica after central and southern parts of
the country were hit by a massive earthquake on February 27 that
claimed nearly 500 lives.
Coach Marcelo Bielsa's team face favourites Spain,
Switzerland and Honduras in Group H at the finals in South
Africa starting on June 11.
