This from The Observer:
Whatever the reservations of these two countries, who have left key players at home, they desperately want to capture the Copa now they are in the final, suffering one defeat apiece along the way. Indeed, each coach could be excused for wanting to place the event's critics in the way of the shuddering tackles that are certain to feature as much as Brazil's flowing football or Argentina's intense high-tempo game.
Club managers such as Sir Alex Ferguson, who is in Chicago preparing Manchester United for today's friendly against Bayern Munich, would do well to miss the Copa final. With one United player on each side, Ferguson could wince at what he sees should, for instance, Kléberson, the Brazil midfielder, be in a dispute for possession with Gabriel Heinze, the Argentina central defender. Neither player would pull out, that's for sure. With Heinze named last week in Argentina's Olympic squad, it may be a while in any case before Ferguson can play his new signing.
Probable teams:
Brazil: 1-Dida, 13-Maicon, 3-Luisao, 4-Juan, 6-Gustavo Nery; 5-Renato, 8-Kleberson, 10-Alex, 11-Edu; 9-Luis Fabiano, 7-Adriano
Argentina: 1-Roberto Abbondanzieri; 8-Javier Zanetti, 2-Roberto Ayala, 6-Gabriel Heinze, 3-Juan Pablo Sorin; 5-Javier Maschero, 16-Luis Gonzalez, 11-Carlos Tevez; 19-Cesar Delgado, 9-Luciano Figueroa, 18-Cristian Gonzalez
