June 1st... anyone know if this game will be televised in the US? I can't seem to find confirmation one way or the other..
Re: Argentina Vs Brazil Search this forum for info on qualifiers. The game is Wednesday, June 2 and will be on closed-circuit pay-per-view, available to restaurants only. The game will likely be 21:45 in Brazil, so 8:45pm here. EDIT - Here's the thread: https://www.bigsoccer.com/forum/showthread.php?t=45801&highlight=conmebol+qualifiers
Re: Argentina Vs Brazil I am also an Argentina fan in Houston. I think that Revolucion sports bar might have the game. They have a nice set up for closed circuit games. I do not know their door fee though. Both times I went I went early to get a parking spot and good seat and arrived before they started collecting the door fee. I know a Juan in Houston whose favorite team is Racing. His boss just got into the Nation Academy of Sciences. Is this you? If so, this is Mike.
tix prices en us dollars: mandatory reduction? Entre 10 y 50 dólares tendrán que pagar los 70.000 aficionados que asistirán el 2 de junio en las tribunas del estadio Mineirao, de Belo Horizonte, para ver las selecciones de Brasil y Argentina en el partido de las eliminatorias suramericanas de 2006. La boleta más barata, que en principio costaría 60 reales (20 dólares), fue reducida a la mitad (30 reales o 10 dólares) por pedido de Aécio Neves, el gobernador del estado de Minas Gerais, cuya capital es Belo Horizonte.
Re: Argentina Vs Brazil These things are great I always get a kick going to see them, even though they're very pricey. Advice to those considering going to see the QUALS in restaurants go very, very, EARLY... So if the game is at 8:45 p.m. get there @ the latest 5:45 if you want good seats... "What three hours? Isn't that a bit of a strech?" Maybe so but don't be surpised to see a line already formed
Re: Argentina Vs Brazil I once went to a place that charged 10 dollar door fee to see 2 games that night. Not bad at all. I find that if I arrive about 45-1hr before kickoff, I will get a good seat. And that was for a Mexico game at a bar in Houston. I do not think that the ARG-BRA game will draw more fans in Houston. Of course here I have dozens of hispanic sports bars to chose from, so limited suppy is not driving up the price nor forcing me to arrive super early. And when arriving early there is always some other game being shown.
Re: Argentina Vs Brazil gaves a list of the sports bars and ph#s to call for the door prize and capacity of the place... It will be nice to locate a bar downtown, one on the north side of hwy 45 and one on the south katy or hwy 10 thanks for the input
Re: Argentina Vs Brazil No queda una sola de las 39.800 entradas que fueron puestas en venta para el partido del próximo miércoles, en Belo Horizonte. Las boletas, que comenzaron a ser vendidas el martes, se agotaron en la tarde del miércoles y tan sólo restan unas 1.000 que fueron encomendadas por internet y aún serán distribuidas, según la empresa BWA. Argentina es el actual líder en la clasificación de las eliminatorias, pero Brasil, con una victoria el miércoles y un posible traspiés de Paraguay en su visita a Bolivia en La Paz, puede arrebatarle esa posición. Ello debido a que, tras cinco jornadas de eliminatorias, Argentina encabeza la clasificación con 11 puntos, seguida de Paraguay con 10 y Brasil y Venezuela, que suman nueve. Al partido asistirá el presidente de la Federación Internacional de Asociaciones de Fútbol (FIFA), Joseph Blatter, según anunció el gobernador del estado de Minas Gerais, Aecio Neves, quien también reservó un palco especial para el presidente brasileño, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva.

Re: Argentina Vs Brazil Looks like you can get this PPV in your home if you have dish network. http://www.dishnetwork.com/content/programming/ppv/sports_events/soccer/index.shtml I plan to get it tonight.
Re: Argentina Vs Brazil no english! I got Jorge ramos back in radio, doing the comments (his crew from former RADIO uNICA) now employed by radio UNivision in dallas 1270am 1-0 pk by ronaldo - taken 2times for invasion of the area 2nd half: one more PK....against ronaldo again takes the shot and goooooool 2-0 argies die! Bielsa already had 3 subs on the field 1st half for injured chelito, mauro rosales from Newell old boys was in in the 1st half then bielsa Pulls out mauro for saviola...... the chants are huge --- the game is worth watchinf on video
Re: Argentina Vs Brazil freaking terrible... this wreaks of the type games Argentina had in the WC '02... getting opportunities and blowing them only to lose on stupid penalties... goodness.. this sucks...
Re: Argentina Vs Brazil are you watching or listening? brazil just made 2 subs: out J permanbucano and Kaka for Alex and ??? Looks like both teams are content with the result Dida had no work.
Re: Argentina Vs Brazil goooooool de argentina - minuto 34 sorin es grande en un mano a mano con DIDA y el portero se salvaba, siguen 10 minutos grandes 2-1 gana brazil mucha tarjeta amarilla
Re: Argentina Vs Brazil muchas faltas - minute 36...and a hand ball in the area by crespo, osca Julian did not see it (can you imagine, a colombian calling 3 PKs vs argentina in one nite?)
Re: Argentina Vs Brazil fernandez.. I'm following along with Argentine websites and espn deportes and some brazilian site also.... from all sources it sounded like Argentina dominated the first half setting up various opportunities but just kept missing... 2nd half has had less opportunities.. I just remember being so distraught during the last WC because the Argentine offense set up opportunities at will against their opponents yet kept missing headers or sending shots high over the goal... and 2 bad plays did them in... I just get the feeling from following along on this one without watching that the result has been much the same...
Re: Argentina Vs Brazil caballero save of the game.....takes the ball from fabiano's head 45 minutes 3 more minutes request the ref. lacade.....waht do those sites say about the ref and the PKs.... good calls?
Re: Argentina Vs Brazil Argentine website says 1st penalty was definitely a good call... no mention on the second call... from the tone of what I'm reading there really is no complaint from the Argentine side about the 2 penalty kicks...
Re: Argentina Vs Brazil ohhhh goshhhhh one more PK ronaldo checks onto cavallero oscar calls fro one more Pk (NOT A VERY CLEAR CALL) ronaldo to the spot: could be the top scorer of conmebol and is goal! golllllllllllllllll gol the end of the game 3-1 for BRAZIL ARGENTINA A GOOD 1ST HALF BRAZIL A GOOD 2ND HALF THE DIFFERENCE = THE REF?
Re: Argentina Vs Brazil 3 penalty kicks in 1 game?? WTF?!?!? this is ridiculous... Bielsa needs to get a choke hold on his players in these big games... losing 2 games in the WC off penalties and now giving up 3 in one game?!?!? this is silly...
Re: Argentina Vs Brazil It was all Ronaldo man, he made the defenders look silly, nevermind those who complain about him being fat. Only way they could stop him was on fouls. He also created two shots from the top of the box that went close and an amazing pass to Júlio Baptista who unfortunately one-timed it right to Caballero.
Re: Argentina Vs Brazil They only lost one game during the 2002 WC. They tied Sweden; Sweden's goal was off a free kick. I think the inability to finish should be more of a concern for Bielsa. They continue to struggle near the goal, much like they did in Japan (where they scored off a corner kick and a missed penalty). Bielsa must go!
I didn't see the game but from the subs Bielsa made, it seems like the man is no longer capable of putting a suitable team on the field... he seems very undecided. One name: Carlos Bianchi. Peru y tu?
