We can probably close the 2012 thread, Moderator friends! We have........ England x Brazil, 6 February at Wembley (confirmed) March 2013 friendlies - NO GAMES CONFIRMED Brazil x England at Maracana (2 June - see below - not confirmed) I expect a Brazil x France game at home in June Confederations Cup in June Brazil x Chile (10 August at home) We are playing Portugal twice apparently but when?! " I think it is a bad translation….I think it means others in the CBF are dealing no more no less. I have done your DVDs. Do let me know the others you need so I can get organized. I can them keep them here pending your instructions. It looks like England in Rio on 2 June 2013………. Em evento realizado nesta sexta-feira, dia 23 de novembro, no Rio de Janeiro, o governador Sérgio Cabral confirmou que o primeiro jogo da Seleção Brasileira no novo Maracanã será contra a Inglaterra, no dia 2 de junho. “Os ingleses que se preparem. O primeiro jogo da Seleção Brasileira no Maracanã renovado, reconstruído, pronto para os Jogos Olímpicos, será dia 2 de junho”, garantiu o governador. O clássico, no entanto, não marcará a primeira partida do renovado estádio. Segundo Cabral, sua intenção é de que haja um jogo festivo entre um time formado por israelenses e palestinos. Palco da final da Copa do Mundo e da Copa das Confederações, a reforma do Maracanã está orçada em R$ 859 milhões. De acordo com a última medição do consórcio, a obra está com 76% do cronograma cumprido. A previsão de entrega é dia 28 de fevereiro de 2013. "
Very unlikely. The European clubs won't permit that - wan?ers. If they had their way we would have no international futebol!
Confirmed - England in RJ 2/6/13; France in MG 9/6/13. Did you know the French played Ateltico-MG in 1977 in MG. What a fact! http://globoesporte.globo.com/futeb...ecao-no-rio-e-em-belo-horizonte-em-junho.html We need to sort out games in MARCH 2013!
hopefully i can get tickets for confederation cup for the two rio games and the england vs brasil friendly.. it'll make my trip worth it []__[]
The FIFA Confederations Cup is selling well so be quick! I am going to the England friendly - at Wembley though not Rio! Need to find out who they are playing in March...........
Big Phil wants strong opponents. I am a bit surprised Germany do not seem to be coming to Brazil given the thorough way they go about things. http://www.estadao.com.br/noticias/...-amistosos-da-selecao-brasileira,967489,0.htm
And in English http://www.sambafoot.com/en/news/39574_scolari_demands_tougher_opponents_for_brazil.html
Good! Time to take more risks against teams that finished at least in the top 16 of the last world cup as opposed to the the Iraq's of the world
Confed Cup group - Japan, Mexico, Italy. Here are our games in the group stage. 15 de junho de 2013, às 16 horas: Brasil x Japão, em Brasília 19 de junho de 2013, às 16 horas: Brasil x México, em Fortaleza 22 de junho de 2013, às 16 horas: Itália x Brasil, em Salvador The other group has Spain, Uruguay, Tahiti (WTF !), and the African Champion.
Tahiti!???!!! What the hell?!!! Anyway we are in a very tough group. Italy,Mexico and Japan are very tough opponents with great players. We will need a good team to get through this group. This what I like a tough groups so the young players can get more experience.
tough group is good for brasil they need all the competition they can get in preparation for world cup add the friendlies vs france and england and it'll be a great month for brasil fans []__[]
Beast of a group. Two multiple world cup winners with Brazil, Italy and Mexico with a Gold Medal and a Confederations Cup title. p.s. how did Tahiti get in this?
Spain-Tahiti will be one of the most bizarre international matches ever played. It will make Brazil-NK look like an even match. Even Torres might score a couple hat tricks after Spain has three or four on the board already, since he's the king of garbage goals. I wonder who Tahiti's coach is and what tactics he will adopt.
I already applied for the confederation tickets i have to wait for an answer in january.. i wasnt able to buy them during the first sale stage because my visa card was a debit visa and not a regular visa credit card... lets see if i can get them if i cant get them im still going anyways and buy a france and england tickets when they become available.. []__[]
Spain only beat Puerto Rico 2-1 and i doubt tahiti is any worst than PR so wouldnt be surprise if tahiti keeps it respectable .. and when i say respectable i mean losing 3-0 or 4-1 something like that []__[]
