It was not any ordinary game it was brazil vs argentina....

Not too many people in south America care for Champions league, and the time of the games are different. Champions league is played around early afternoon South American time, and games like these are played late, at around 9:50 (after the telenovelas).

The purpose of this game is to give a stage to players who play in Brazil and Argentina

Yeah that's true.... While you are all sleeping we are still up.... We actualy watch both the european games and the league games played in brazil, argentina etc etc etc

What I mean is that many national players are playing in the UCL, so the friendly is B-team for both sides...

I agree, is good to see local players on this clasico, but is not the samething with out; Pato-AC Milan, Hulk-Oporto, Alves_Barca, Higuain&Di Maria-Real, Aguero-City, Messi-Barca, just to name some examples.... Btw great goalkeeper argentino

You can say the same about brazil mate. Both keepers did great, both teams played great. Game resulted in 0-0 it was just a fun game for both nations =P

Its to let all the youngsters play, apart from ronaldihno

What does south america have to do with europe?

It's not about countries, it's about great matches happening all at the same time making it hard to accumulate viewers

Also the amount of players from Argentina and Brazil that play for squads in Europe. Like nutcracker says, gotta' give the youngsters a chance to play...

Yea, what a shame his amazing attempt only hit the post! Would have been at least a contender for goal of the year!
