Comment by Women's Soccer United on March 18, 2012 at 11:58: This is certainly going to be the best tournament preparation Brazil have done. I am really looking forward to these fixtures!!

Comment by Izzy on March 17, 2012 at 18:29: Well... I think these three matches will be great to see how Brazil will play during Olympic Games. People forgot that Brazil changed their coach... because Jorge Barcellos came back to Brazilian WNT and they are doing training camps all months until the Olympic Games... and Brazil will play against Portugal and France in May... so I think Brazil will give much trouble to other teams in these matches. :D
