White Hart Lane, home of Brazil?

Last updated : 05 September 2006 By SpursMAD

Ronaldinho will play for Brazil against Wales in a friendly at White Hart Lane tonight.

Some Welsh supporters have been left wondering why the game isn't being played at the Millennium Stadium.

The reason for it being staged at White Hart Lane is firstly in order to make it a home fixture for Brazil (huh?), the game is also being played in London as part of an agreement reached with Europe's top clubs that their players will not be made to travel too far for friendly internationals.

It is likely that the Brazilians will field a far stronger line-up (in front of their home crowd) than the visiting Welsh.
