Brazil date for Switzerland

UEFA EURO 2008™ co-hosts Switzerland will play Brazil in a friendly in Basel on 15 November in another precursor to the main event in two years' time.

Brazil buoyant
Switzerland seem certain to face a stern test from the South Americans, who earlier this month held two friendlies in London, beating Argentina 3-0 and Wales 2-0. For their part, Jakob Kuhn's men defeated fellow FIFA World Cup finalists Costa Rica 2-0 thanks to goals by Alexander Frei and Marco Streller, while Frei struck again in a 1-0 win against Venezuela, both at the start of September. The Swiss Super League match between BSC Young Boys and FC Schaffhausen, originally scheduled for that day, has been postponed to 25 November because of the international.
