This is so bloody bizarre for me. I came 9,000 miles across the globe fifteen years ago to live in Chile, I've followed the local football and the national team all that time, and a Stoke fan from Blythe Bridge ends up getting called up here. Mental. 20 years ago I dated a Chilean girl from Manchester. She’s spent most of her life here but her parents, like many other Chileans left Chile when Pinochet came to power. In the UK, most Chilean exiles ended up in London, Manchester or Sheffield… but obviously a handful must have come to Stoke as well. I’m absolutely chuffed for Ben though. What an unlikely but fabulous story. Now, what’s Hispanic for “duck”? pato

Scored a great goal to break the deadlock in a very tense and testy qualifier against Paraguay just now, then Chile went 2-0 up shortly afterwards. It was quite late in the game, crowd went mad, he got completely mobbed from the sidelines by the subs and then all his teammates. Brilliant to see.

Mark?? I’ve worked with him also, not his biggest fan in truth, just about bearable. No his dad is Martin and he's a Supt. That’s is undercover career scuppered

If Brown changes his name to Jacob Brown-Garcia will he suddenly come good?

Done it again with the third in a 3-0 against Venezuela tonight, another good near-post finish.
Chile back in with a fighting chance after the last two games, and tonight’s other results going their way

Listened to him this week talking about BBD. Very interesting, and of course in particular how he got the international call-up. And how his goals have been received in Chile. Wonderful story, and I am a massive fan of the lad. Really hope he makes it into the PL or a top tier league elsewhere in the world.

A mate of mine who is a rovers fan, had a £20 bet at the start of the season for a bit of fun at 1000/1 that BBD would score 20 plus league goals this season, I think he's on 11 in 10 or 10 in 11, one of them anyway. He's just cashed his bet out at £10,528. What a bet. A rovers pal of his has got a £50 bet with the same odds and has held off cashing out at £25,500. I'd be out like fuck at that money. Only takes one injury or if he's sold in January I don't know if that would void the bet but nevertheless it is a cracking bet.
He is doing great to be fair but can see him being snapped up soon enough by a bigger team.

There’s a load of them on it on the Blackburn board, half the Brereton thread is about that bet.. not a gambler myself but presumably that was an odds error??

Yeah, it can't be THAT unlikely that a decent enough striker would score 20 goals in a season? It's not even a goal every other game in The Championship. Got to be a fuck up.

Even at his shittest you wouldn't of got those odds on say a Vokes or Berahino. I'm not having those odds no way.

He wasn't decent before, not easy as you think, how many strikers score 20+ each season not many, how many years have Stoke gone without a 20+ striker?

Since Leicester 5k/1 I think the bookies only max out at around 1k/1 for the relegation favourites to win the title, so it’s a bit weird that a decent championship striker had those odds for 20 goals. Even for a 30 goal season I’d be surprised. Very strange but I’m sure that’s a value bet at 1k/1.

Noticed Real and Atletico Madrid both had their games postponed because of players being late back. Because they had to fit three games in I guess? I think they were Thursday-Sunday-Thursday.. The European clubs with Chilean players actually chipped in together for a private jet which left Chile at about 3am Friday to bring those players back, so he flew back with Sanchez/Vidal/Bravo etc, it’s been on the news here (for some reason)
