Brazil and Argentina to play friendly in Australia
Brazil and Argentina to play friendly in Australia
Rio de Janeiro - ArabToday
Brazil and Argentina will meet in an international friendly in Australia on June 9, the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) said on Thursday.
The match will be played at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, which has the capacity to seat more than 100,000 spectators, the CBF said in a brief statement on its official website.
The teams last clashed in November, when Brazil won a World Cup qualifier 3-0 at the Mineirao stadium in Belo Horizonte.
Both national teams are understood to have committed to fielding their best players, thus Barcelona teammates Lionel Messi and Neymar will be pitted against each other.
Brazil currently lead the World Cup qualifying standings for the South American zone, and a victory in their match against Uruguay next month will guarantee Tite's team a berth in Russia next year.
Argentina are currently ranked fifth, eight points behind Brazil.
Only the top four teams from South America's CONMEBOL group will automatically qualify for the World Cup while the fifth-ranked side will earn a playoff spot.

to 'eternal style' of late Alaia
Paris - Emiratesvoice
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opens Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home. The diminutive maverick, who ignored fashion week convention by showing when and where he wanted, in July produced his first couture collection in six years to rapturous reviews. Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations.
