There's not a whole lot to say beforehand about an Argentina-Brasil game other than it is the biggest game in world football.
The news around tonight's game though has been marred by the news that's been widely reported of a rift between Lio Messi and Juan Roman Riquelme.
It remains to be seen what kind of an impact the controversy that has ensued will have on the team tonight.
Argentina is looking to bounce back from its very poor performance against Ecuador and end the latest stage of its WC Qualifying campaign on a very high note with a win over Brasil.
The starting lineup has not been confirmed yet and there are question marks on each line.
Either Gonzalo Rodriguez or Coloccini will replace Demichelis who will not be available because of yellow card accumulation.
If Mascherano plays he will move to the right side of the midfield with Gago in the central midfield spot.
If Aguero is fully recovered from his injury he will play if not then there's the possibility that Julio Cruz will join Messi upfront.
Basile will use a 4-3-1-2 formation with the following lineup:
GK - Abbondanzieri
D - Zanetti
D - Burdisso
D - Gonzalo Rodriguez/Coloccini
D - Heinze
M - Mascherano
M - Gago
M - Maxi Rodriguez
M - Riquelme
F - Messi
F - Aguero/Cruz
VAMOS ARGENTINA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
