Brazil 3 - Belgium 0: another South American bronze medal

It wasn’t enough. Ronaldinho and company are not happy, but Belgium couldn’t repeat a podium in football as many decades ago.

At Shanghai, Brazil (Diego and Jô, twice) beats Belgium 3-0. Many people from Brazil pretended to be beaten to be Dunga dismissed. Let’s see what happen with his future.
Line-ups:
Belgium: Logan Bailly, Sepp de Roover, Thomas Vermaelen, Sebastian Pocognoli, Jeroen Simayes; Faris Haroun, Jan Vertonghen, Marteen Martens, Tom de Mul; Kevin Mirallas and Moussa Dembele.
Brazil: Renan, Rafinha, Alex Silva, Breno, Marcelo; Hernanes, Ramires, Anderson, Diego; Ronaldinho Gaúcho and Jô.

Argentina – Nigeria preview: the football final; remembering Atlanta 1996




The end comes. Only one will win the gold medal. The other team will win a brilliant silver medal. No European teams. Only Belgium for the bronze medal match. At National Stadium, Beijing 2008 will have a new Olympic Champion on Sunday. Both teams want the second gold medal in the football history.

Let’s see what happen.

Probable line-ups:
Nigeria:

Vanzekin - Olubayo, Apam, Adeleye, Ambrose - Promise, Kaita, Ajilore, Obinna - Okoronkwo, Odemwingie.

Argentina: Romero - Garay, Monzón, Zabaleta, Gago – Riquelme, Di María, Pareja, Messi – Mascherano, Agüero.
