If Messi goes to Beijing - Argentina

If he doesn't - Brasil

One from Argentina, Brazil or Italy. Maybe Netherlands if they play well. I would expect Argentina to win. Their U-23's are just so good: Gago, Garay, Aguero, Lavezzi, Ustari et al. Throw in Messi if he goes. Then add in their over 23's Riquelme and Mascherano - it's difficult to see them getting beat unless they under perform.

Brazil.

i have bet on the argies

Messi is injured and not going, Brasil to win gold.

 Is Kaka , Robinho and Ronaldinho gonnae be there ?

I'll go for Brazil

Only Ronaldinho. Milan refused permission for Kaka (and he's unjured anyway) and Real Madrid are asking for Robinho to be taken out because of a groin injury.

Brazil's U-23's aren't as good as Argentina's, hence why I don't back them.

But Messi isn't going, while Diego and Rafinha are, hope at least for Brasil.

The CAS ruling has stated that the clubs of those 3 players don't have to let them go. Schalke and Werder Bremen are reportedly willing to let the Brazilians go if they can get insurance, while Barca are arranging some sort of meeting to decide Messi's fate.

I think Argentina with Messi will win.

He is going he scored in the first game, I reckon Brazil have the best squad so should win this.

England isn't there i hope the argentinians nd reading the posts here,some papers and seeing some newsflashes they look like favourites toghether with brazil
