What's the squads? I know Mexico are playing a reserve side but what about the Argies and Brazil? The likes of Messi, Naymar going to be involved?

Hope Chico doesn't get burnt out and has a hard time at the start of next season.

He scored a hat trick last night for his country in a friendly.

I heard he wont be playing in this,sure fergie had said he needs a rest and basicly he isnt allowed to play,but mexico got 6 players suspended and there was talk of chico to get called up but apparently he still isnt gonna play

Those times above are local time it seems. +4h for UK k.o. time.

Robert1986 · 2 Jul 2011 at 09:05

uh. 1-1 in the opening game. The opening cermony thing was trippy. Is that what being on drugs is like?

Both goals scored last night (or this morning) were world class... first goal was funny... second goal was wow.

Brazil V Venezuela tomorrow at 8pm our time.

Stewy · 2 Jul 2011 at 09:16

Aguero's goal is absolute class. Bolivia's... what on earth is Banega doing there?

Brazil and Argentina both playing full squads so can't really see anyone else in with a shout.

Takes like 10 minutes for it to activate from when you upgrade. Thats usually how long it takes for mine anyway.

I didn't get that deal. :/

Wish we would get espn 2 & 3 like the states have. Its a lot money for one channel.

Yea, and its free. They are showing all the classic copa america games just now. Sometimes on eurosport they will show classic champion league games. I watched the 2005 final between LP and AC few months back, it was in full too. One of my favorite games. I think they showed every final from the 90's to around 2007.

ESPN is pretty decent if I didn't get it on Virgin I would probably pay for it anyway.

They have a fair amount of sport I enjoy watching and generally it is well put together.

Brazil held out to a 0-0 draw last night. Brazil had so many chances they could have gone into double digits on the score board.
