Opponents, dates and venues have now been firmed up for the two friendly matches in November. Spain will play Brazil in Vigo on Saturday 13th November and Argentina, probably in the Olympic Stadium in Sevilla, on 17th November (no, Sevilla has never hosted the Olympics but just in case they get it in the future....). Argentina are in Spain to play Espanyol in their centenary match at the Montjuic Olympic Stadium in Barcelona on 14th November (yes, this one is the genuine article....).

As reported last week, Spain's last match in the qualifying round of Euro 2000 against Israel has been moved back a day to 10th October and will be in Albacete.
