| Awkward hanging around, indeed... |
The so-called 'super-classic of the Americas' descended into the farce that it probably deserved last week.
Argentina against Brazil is one of football's greatest rivalries.
But the occasion and its tradition are undermined when the matches are staged outside Fifa dates using only domestically based players - which in current conditions pits an understrength Brazil team against, at best, a C-strength Argentina side.
The idea might be more bearable without the hard sell - this is clearly not the 'super-classic' of anything at all. It looks more like a "product" cynically cooked up to fill TV schedules.
