Has there been any talk about Brazil playing friendlies in the US regularly rather than in Europe if these are a success?

Surely there's a fairly large Brazillian immigrant population that would swarm to any matches, and there would be enough neutral interest to sell out the large stadiums on a somewhat regular basis.

I haven't heard anything like that, and I can't see it happening very often because Euro teams will complain (is it me or do they look like spoiled kids?).

Anyway, I would support us playing anywhere but Europe, even in remote places like Nepal, New Zealand or Mongolia. </BLOCKQUOTE>

Was just wondering, since practically every other country in the Americas other than Argentina and Brazil seem to be doing it these days :cool:

4-0 and 5-0, however, are game.

Pretty hard to score so many goals without good players upfront. </BLOCKQUOTE>

You want to trade for Landy-cakes or Eddie Johnson? </BLOCKQUOTE>

I want your U-20 players! </BLOCKQUOTE>

Don't we all

FUN FACKTS:

when the us team went 0-3 at the copa america, it was the first time they had lost 3 consecutive matches since 2001.

their loss against sweden was the first time they'd lost 4 in a row since 1997.

if (when) they lose to brazil, it will be the first time they've lost 5 straight since 1994.


in other news, the spanish FA has refused to sanction the catalonia-us match in october so that looks off. the us's next match after brazil should be against the swiss.

[retired_the gizmo]

any idea of brazil's starting xi?

KATHMANDU (Reuters) - Officials at Nepal's state-run airline have sacrificed two goats to appease Akash Bhairab, the Hindu sky god, following technical problems with one of its Boeing 757 aircraft, the carrier said Tuesday.

Nepal Airlines, which has two Boeing aircraft, has had to suspend some services in recent weeks due the problem.

The goats were sacrificed in front of the troublesome aircraft Sunday at Nepal's only international airport in Kathmandu in accordance with Hindu traditions, an official said.

"The snag in the plane has now been fixed and the aircraft has resumed its flights," said Raju K.C., a senior airline official, without explaining what the problem had been.

Local media last week blamed the company's woes on an electrical fault. The carrier runs international flights to five cities in Asia.

It is common in Nepal to sacrifice animals like goats and buffaloes to appease different Hindu deities.
