LILLE, France, Sept 23 (Reuters) - Coach Pablo Lemoine said Chile never had a chance of competing against England in their World Cup clash on Saturday having never previously played opposition of similar calibre. "I'm not really disappointed, sorry, that's the reality, that's what is happening with the rankings," he said. "I hope that changes because it's not good for the players or for the supporters... the score is completely unfair." Los Condores started brightly, holding England out for 20 minutes and even causing their opponents a few problems with a quickfire passing game. Chile move on to an all-South American World Cup clash against the Pumas of Argentina for their final Pool D match in Nantes next Saturday.
