  1. 83rd- messi showing some more flair in the box, has his shot blocked that comes to aguero who shanks it

    On another note, Sebastian Battaglia of Boca in for riquelme

  2. Looks like Alves is following the Panama U-23 trend with his blowout mullet.

    Disappointing to seem him come in though, as it may signify that Brasil is willing to drop back and settle for the tie.

  3. 72nd- Fabiano contributing immediately, sending a chip cross to julio baptista who does a sideways bike kick to be saved by abbodonzieri again. Abbodonzieri seems to be having a good game.

  4. 69th- Messi with a nice little juke in the box to result in his shot being blocked by what looks like lucio (who by the way is captaining brasil). Doesn’t look like Brasil is using their home field to their advantage.

  5. Wow. Lots of very intense tackling and cards that seem to be totally warranted. I guess that bravery and complete commitment to the game are what make the difference at this level. Awesome match.

  6. No sir. Looks like the forward of choice today is Julio cruz and messi, although I think messi has been playing more of a wide role. Not sure of the exclusion of tevez, injury maybe?

  7. 50th- Nice combination play by robinho and adriano, with adrianos last ball going to abbodonzieri rather than robinho’s feet.

  8. Penalty should have been called on the Argentine GK grabbing Robinho’s shirt form behind when he had the ball past him in the area.

  9. Halftime Brasil 0- Argentina 0

    Pretty evenly matched, with Argentina maybe having a slight edge because of all the opportunities Brasil is giving them by fouling. However, Brasil has 2 shots on goal to argentina’s 1. We’ll see how things unfold.

  10. Why isn’t Messi playing?

    Watching it on justin TV, hard to tell exactly who is out there, but ESPN says no Messi and that Robinho is playing.
