Inexplicably, I didn't answer the second question yesterday: yes, Sampaoli was the coach on the first one. On the Copa Centenario the team was still on the Bielsa-style Sampaoli rush, but I give Pizzi credit for a key incident during the final: 28 minutes in Marcelo Díaz got his second yellow card. 11 players to 10, Argentina went full-on destructo mode, and under those circumstances ANY other manager in the world would have sacrificed one of Chile's three strikers to rebuild the midfield. But Pizzi held in there and whaddayaknow, two minutes before the end of the first half Marcos Rojo kicked Vidal from behind and got sent off. You know the rest.
