ENGLAND TO PLAY BRAZIL
It's the match that everyone wanted to see. This Friday England will take on the mighty Brail. Many people believe the match is worthy of the final, not a Quater Final. It is being built up already as the match of the tournment.
Brazil beat Belgium 2-0 which confirmed the four times winners their place in yet another Quater Final. Most of the England playing and coaching staff were seen at the match in Kobe, where Brazil beat the Belgians unconvincingly. A 67th minute super strike by Rivaldo and a 87th minute Ronadlo goal ensured the win.
Brazil have scored in every game so far but have not come up against a defence as tight as England's, who have only conceeded the single goal.
The Brazil v England fixture recalls so many memories, Banks' save and Moore's tackle in the 1970 World Cup, as well as John Barnes' memorable dribble in 1984, as well as many more.
