[Catracho]

The real brazil and the real argentina? Where is the fake brazil and argentina?

[BarrileteCosmico]

Riquelme going to show Ganso how to really set the tempo

[Swanhends]

GET INNNNN ARGIES!!!!

[Mr Nick09]

lots of velez and estudiantes guys... :study:

[Catracho]

Apparently Argentine national team manager Sabella selected this line-up in a training match today:

Orión; Pillud, Domínguez, Desábato, Papa; Chávez, Verón, Canteros, Riquelme; Boselli, Martínez.

It's likely something like this team will start against Brazil in the upcoming friendlies.

[Ganso]

Jesus they are already training and we are like a month away from the match ffs

Anyways,I heard journalists saying that their defense is awful

[BarrileteCosmico]

We don't want to be embarassed

Fabio
Danilo-Dede-Rhodolfo-Kleber
------Casemiro---Ralf------------
Lucas------R10-------Neymar
------------Damiao-----------------

[Catracho]

soo many threats... rape on a platter. Would've been even more rape if Borges, Elkeson and Willian were called-up.

[Ganso]

that defense is also very solid

[Catracho]

Cruzeiro's goalkeeper Fábio is out of the games against Argentina due to an injury, Grêmio's goalkeeper Victor has been called up to replace him.

I guess that confirms Jefferson from Botafogo is going to be the starter.

Lehgo Brasil.

[rsinatra]

Rafael
Danilo-Dede-Rhodolfo-Kleber
------Casemiro---Ralf------------
Lucas------R10-------Neymar
------------Damiao-----------------

corrected that for you. libertadores experience FTW.

...and can ronaldinho succeed playing in the middle?

it'll be interesting to see it... if the argentines are already training, they must be really worried. lol

Riquelme going to show Ganso how to really set the tempo

maybe on the second leg ganso will show him.

and yay to an all-brazilian brazil. it's wonderful to watch a brazil to which fans can relate to, in which fans know the players and watch them on a weekly basis..

[Catracho]

Argentina vs Brazil next Wednesday in Córdoba will kick-off at 21:50 (Brasília time), Enrique Osseas Zencovich from Chile will be officiating the match.

Both Brazil and Argentina will be training tomorrow.

Leandro Damiao hattick imo.

[windkick]

Brasil line up looks deadly

[Catracho]

just updated the list of call-ups...Riquelme has been left out

[Ganso]

if we dont win...

[Catracho]

Mano.... this could be the easiest win of your career..

[EarlyPrototype]

On paper Brazil should destroy Argentina.

[Catracho]

on paper and on the field.

Argentinan League players cannot currently hang with us. Damiao will do to Argentina what he did to Independiente.

[Ganso]

i dont think we will destroy them, even in the Zico days we struggled in Copa Rocca(2-1,2-0),but as I said,if we dont win this will be facepalm worthy to menezes

(I expect a good Damiao performance)

[Guest]

I fully expect 25 - 0
