In some ways these are the more important stories in the region, it is these young people who will ultimately decide and settle all the regions issues. By the look of the flag they are proudly showing, I expect they know where their future lies.

For a first time out at the tournament it does certainly sound like they really DID put on a good show AND gave the local teams a run for their money as well!!!

Good on you guys!! and as Ilsen so rightly points out @ 2

The Gibraltar team should hire these kids as trainers......maybe that way they can at least get ONE goal in........

What you mean like Gib's 1st ever international game were they beat Malta 1-0 :-) ok so they lost after that to teams that are full of 1st class talent but they are at least now recognized :-)

Those boys are doing a very well perfomance here in Punta Arenas and the most important is that they are keeping the historical ties stronger between F. I. and Chile.....Well done, showing their national flag proudly......
Hope this tournament will be repeated next years......
The score is important but the most important is the experience of play abroad with teams with different tactical level and share with boys with different cultural enviroment...but joined through a sport passion....
