No. 13 Chile

FIFA Ranking- 15

Group H

La Roja went through a transition period after the 2007 Copa America tournament, and the change that made the most impact was their new coach. Marcelo Bielsa is the new coach and surprisingly he is from Argentina which seems weird seeing that they are rivals, but his sucess so far he has produced results. He tried out new players and found the right mixture that fit his attacking style. They qualified second in the South American region, but they have a glaring weakness, their defense. They gave up 22 goals during qualifying and need to find a solution to that problem if they think they are going to advance far. They have flashy and effective attackers and a solid goal keeper making them a dangerous underdog for the big teams out there.
