What was the offical publico for the Colombia game? I need the exact figure - not rounded up ones! Can someone possibly help here please?

 

[Cerezo Mineiro]

Why amazing? They have not played in SP for two years or more!! If ever you want to see how big crowds were.......go to the RSSSF site..........56,000 i nothing by Brazilian standards of the past.

Luis Fabiano in for the injured Afonso.

Guys,
I need some help in here.
I know that on the 29 of June will be played Brasil vs Argentina for the WC2010 Qualifications in Brasil. I need to know the venue for this game as well as how/where could I get tickets for this match as I want to start organising my next trip there.
Any help would be very appreciated.

Thanks a lot.

18th - not 29th - June in Belo Horizonte (birthplace of the great Cerezo!).

Two more friendlies............

A equipe de Dunga enfrentará o Canadá no dia 31 de maio na cidade de Seattle, e no dia 6 de junho, a Venezuela, em Boston.

That'll be me then!

Rafael Sobis and Marcelo convoked for the amistosos only.

Adriano and Kleber convoked for eliminatorias only.

 

[Cerezo Mineiro]

He is one they are keeping back for the Olympics. Sure to feature then I reckon.

 

[Cerezo Mineiro]

Alex is out injured. No replacement named as yet.

 

[Cerezo Mineiro]

What was Alex doing on the Chelsea bench last night if he was injured? Let us get some home based players in the squad, it might mean more to them to play in the yellow camisa.

 

[Cerezo Mineiro]

Adriano added to the squad for the amistosos today, as was Henrique of Palmeiras in place of Alex. Tihago Silva will replace Alex for the eliminatorias.

I am a bit concerned about the defensive midfielders: plenty of running and closing down of opponents, sometimes win the ball then simply give it away by bad passing. Lucio and Juan are excellent players but they were either exposed by poor marking or had their heads looking 'east'/'south' to the beaches! I have seen less wide roads in Berlin (and believe,me, they are wide) than the 'corridor' we presented to the Canadians to attack our goal! I predict a big improvement v Venezuela - it can't be as bad surely. I hate the dance of the coaches that is Brazil but I would really like Luxemburgo back in there. Julio Cesar made a bad error for the first goal but redeemed himself with the low dive at the feet of an opponent. Julio Baptista was the Julio he was at Arsenal I am afraid. Also, where was the crowd - does it not hold 60,000 or something yet only 47,000 were there.

Am I only the only one thinking it is 'getting' dead here at Xtratime. Your own national team and hardly anyone is interested!

Fair enough, but isn't a forum about negative as well as positive comments? This used to be the best forum but Big Soccer has overtaken it in my very humble opinion.
