Argentina vs Switzerland Friendly

[DVN_]

I just read that argentina and switzerland will be playing a friendly at the end of february or beginning of march. This is great news, one friendly for the world cup was not enough. Im not too sure about switzerland though, do you think it would be good preparation?

"The Argentinean Carlos Tevez, of Corinthians, had made plans to attend the Carnaval of Rio de Janeiro, but had to change plans because he was called up for a friendly against Switzerland, his agent said"

Are you sure you are not getting confused by the fact Argentina are playing Croatia in Switzerland on March 1st?

Unfortunately this is a mistake, but I hope they are smart and schedulle a couple more matches.

Croatia is a good choice to play against, as they are probably similar to Serbia. But they should also schedulle an African squad similar to Ivory Coast, (ie Ghana, Cameroon, Nigeria), and a Northern European team (ie Denmark, Norway). That way they will have a good sense for all their first round opponents. I hope Grondona is working on something to earn his fat pay.

Hopefully Argentina plays a friendly match in Los Angeles before the World Cup.. I just love it when they come play here. :)

The match is definitely against Croatia, in Switzerland. As for Tevez, I'd rather see him training than attending the Carnaval;)

i read in fifaworldcup, somedays back that argentina are hoping for 2 more friendlies in may. here is the link http://fifaworldcup.yahoo.com/06/en/060215/7/62c9.html


I think it will be great to play more games bfor the worldcup
and yes i think it will be better for tevez to have some match practice rather than attending some carnivals.
