Just found out Chile will play the women's football final without a natural Goalkeeper because the two they had have been called back by their european clubs. They knew Endler was leaving but were confident the substitute would be granted permission to stay but nope.

  

Incredible mismanagement from the coach.

Just 7 more golds to tie the non-home record. It'll be fun seeing if they can get there.

Hi folks! Here I'm at Santiago de Chile.

 

I've been to athletics, gymnastics and field hockey. Sadly I saw not a single Uruguayan competitor.

 

The Estadio Nacional has a white coat of paint, but is otherwise in bad shape. The rhythmic gymnastics venue looks pretty, but accessibility is bad and there were roof leaks.

 

The field hockey field is fine. However I missed a full quarter of Arg-Can trying to buy two drinks, as the venue had just two payment machines and one didn't work - it would have been much faster to walk 150m to the fan zone and return.

 

After I got the drinks, the main grandstand was full. I walked to the north stands, where the net made it impossible to take photos. On top of that, a rather rude volunteer didn't let me take photos from the corner, despite being 5m above the field.

 

Nothing unexpected I guess. Let's cross finger for tomorrow at La Pintana...
