Brazil vs Argentina Match Thread (and the Euros, too!)

June 9th, 2012 | by: Black Matt | Comments Off

I don’t have time to say much, but Brazil and Argentina play in about an hour and a half today. The starting XI hasn’t been officially announced that I’ve seen, but it’s expected to be the exact same as against Mexico, except Rafael will start in place of Danilo (thank goodness.) Thiago Silva is expected to start, but I believe that, in American parlance, Mano is playing it as a “game-time decision.”

In the meantime, Netherlands are currently playing Denmark in their opening match of the Euros. The Danes have gone up 1-0, and the Clockwork Oranje look very unimpressive right now – a lot of standing around. The attack looks very stagnant except for Wesley Snjeider’s probing balls.

Feel free to comment on both the Brazil match and the Euros in this thread.
