No luck for Chilean miners on soccer pitch

The 33 miners saved from underground hell in Chile were honored as heroes Tuesday at the presidential palace, but they lost at soccer against a team of rescuers captained by President Sebastian Pinera.

Decked out in crisp dark business suits, the men received a medal marking Chile's independence bicentennial - while they were trapped underground - and a mini-replica of the Phoenix capsule that hoisted to them freedom October 13.

Thousands of Chileans massed outside the presidential palace, applauding and cheering the miners as they strode into the palace like Hollywood stars on a special red carpet rolled out for the occasion.

"All of you have taught us to value what really matters," Pinera said, calling the men models of courage. "We are never going to leave behind another Chilean ... because we have learned our lesson."

Pinera then led the squad of officials and rescue workers in a football friendly at Santiago's National Stadium. Both teams had the number 33 emblazoned on the backs of their jerseys.

However, the miners could not emerge victorious on the pitch, losing 2-3.

Since their rescue, the miners have had to try to settle in to their new lives in the media spotlight with psychologists warning that the adjustment will be difficult.

They appeared in good spirits, though some have showed signs of stress in recent days.

"They look content to me, though some still have not had the rest they need. But they are taking it all in good spirits. It has been great to see them back with their families," said psychologist Alberto Iturra.
