Due to the COMNEBOL WC Qualification, Brazil can't make it out to Thailand for the friendly next month! Instead, JFA has planned a friendly series against 2 European teams @ Europe. The only problem I see is that there is EURO 2004 Qualifying in October. A number of good Euro teams won't want to play this friendly with an important qualifier coming up. 1 team that they could probably play is France. We all remember what happened the last time they played, and France should pretty much have won their group by October, so their qualifier versus Israel in Oct. won't mean $#!t. The commercial bonanza would be England (duuuuh!) but I don't think that will be possible, as they have a crunch meeting with Turkey and they probably wouldn't want to risk injury in a friendly vs. Japan. http://www.sanspo.com/sokuho/0904sokuho029.html
