Why were they playing in China?

I can sort of understand when they play in Europe as the players are based here (even though its really a bit unfair on people in the countries) but there seems no logic to it being in China.

Brazil are playing Japan in Singapore next, go figure.

Because the Brazilian FA is filled with corrupt crooks who have sold the rights to Brazil's internationals to a third party.

32 years since Garrincha's death. It's nice to remember the crippled genius with bent legs. I always remember the day that I watched my first movie, the moment that I started to enjoy football. What a player! He must never be forgotten.

Holy...

Proper Argieball tackle there. To be fair to him, Ricky Centurión (the player he tackles) is an absolute cunt.

Not as bad as this either...

While on the subject of bad tackles...

The Argies like a good head kick.

Riquelme has announced his retirement. What a player. One of the best techincally gifted players I've seen.

Anyone else watching Brazil v Chile, been a decent game so far though a lack of chances for either side.

Medel should have had a red for very deliberately standing on Neymar's leg.

Wow, it's a relief watching such a fast-paced game like this after some of the Euro borefests. Chile down to 10 men though, let's hope it doesn't ruin the game.

This referee is living up to the stereotype of card happy South American ref's already. Both sides down to 10 men as Rojo is wrongly sent off. Messi booked for diving as well earlier.

Messi has retired from international football.

Seems a strange decision when your the best player on the planet to quit at just 29. I realise he's lost four major finals with Argentina but the fact is they keep reaching finals and I wouldn't have betted against them getting getting to another, possibly successful final before he hits the downslope.

Possibly something has gone in behind the scenes and he will come out retirement before Russia 2018.

There's definitely stuff going on behind the scenes, not whether he'll come out of retirement for the World Cup though.

He, and a fair few others I assume, are pretty pissed off with both AFA being a disgrace and Martino not being good enough. This has also happened at the same time as the Argentine government have essentially tried to take over the AFA, the league system is completely up in the air, and FIFA are currently in the process of 'intervening'. Meanwhile he's being expected to carry the team though the competition, it's all a bit of a mess.
