Brazil set Swiss date


World Cup finals flops Brazil have lined up another friendly which will see them play Switzerland in a friendly on November 15 in Basel it was announced by the Brazilian Football Confederation on Wednesday.

Brazil's new coach Dunga has already seen his side minus several of their established stars draw 1-1 with Norway earlier this month and has lined up two friendlies in England.

He first sees them play bitter rivals and fellow World Cup disappointments Argentina at Arsenal's Emirates Stadium on Saturday and then on Monday they stay in north London to play Wales at Spurs' White Hart Lane ground.

The Swiss friendly is the second one between the two teams this year, they having played one prior to the World Cup finals.

Dunga replaced Carlos Alberto Parreira - under whom he captained Brazil to the World Cup trophy in 1994 - on July 20 as the veteran coach paid the price for Brazil going out to France in the World Cup quarterfinals.
