Chile has called off two football friendly matches this week
because of the powerful earthquake that has killed at least 700
people in the country.
The South Americans were scheduled to play an unusual
doubleheader on Wednesday in Santiago, facing North Korea and Costa
Rica. Chile will be playing in its first World Cup since 1998.
North Korea has also advanced to the finals beginning June 11 in
South Africa.
Harold Mayne-Nicholls, president of the Chile federation,
said football was a low priority in the face of the death and
destruction brought by the earthquake.
