Beijing, Semi-final, 2008 Beijing Olympics
Today Argentina won its quarterfinal match Argentina 2-1 Holland. Brazil beat Cameroon 2-0 after extra time. Best news: the game everyone wanted to see, to obad it is not the FINAL but a SEMI-Final "Argentina - Brazil."
I'm so excited about this game. Messi v. Ronaldinho. The defending champions- Argentina against a team that never won the gold medal- Brazil. I'm going on the Brazilian press, globoesporte, just to see their angle on this great game. Then, Argentinean paper, El Clarin.
Argentina -
In starting lineup:
Angel Di Maria on the left, Lavezzi on the right. Neither deserve to start the game on the bench. Each has scored and are motivated to keep their position in the starting 11. I wouldn't be surprised if Batista leaves Sergio El Kun Aguero on the bench.
Brazil
Who'll score? Will AC Milan's Pato play in the starting lineup? I hope the goals don't come from set-pieces but in action.
---Your thoughts on this great Argentina - Brazil? Prediction for final score, starting lineup?
