Toure enjoys Chile test

Ivory Coast defender Kolo Toure felt his side had learned some valuable lessons from their 1-1 friendly draw with Chile.
A fiery contest in France ended level, after Aruna Dindane's penalty 20 minutes from time was cancelled out by Humberto Suazo's spot-kick for the South Americans seven minutes later.
The Elephants also ended the game with ten men after the dismissal of midfield anchor Didier Zokora, but Toure still felt it was a worthwhile outing, as his side have to face Argentina at the World Cup finals.
The Arsenal stopper said: "We saw some great things but also some nasty stuff. It was a good warm-up game against a good Chile team.
"They posed us a lot of problems, but their game is close to that of Argentina and we needed that."
