Despite intense preparations which involved pool therapies, training sessions and a week of 'Selecao Bootcamp', the Brazil-Argentina friendly at the Estadio Centenario in Resistencia, Argentina, had to be called off after a power failure yesterday.

The match was due to be played in front of a crowd of 25,000 but half of the floodlights did not function and as a result, Chilean referee Enrique Osses decided the game could not go ahead.
