Pretty much. They're like the Yankees of the Chilean league. Everyone hates them. Remarkably though, Chile's top 3 players of all time never played for the evil empire until their final year before retirement (Ivan Zamorano - Cobreandina) (Marcelo Salas - La Universidad de Chile) (Elias Figueroa - Santaigo Wanderers). VAMOS CHILE!
