BELO HORIZONTE, Brazil -- Playing at the stadium where it was humiliated 7-1 by Germany two years ago, Brazil can wipe away some of the lingering pain from that defeat with a convincing performance against Argentina in a World Cup qualifier on Thursday.The match is being held at the Mineirao Stadium, which is where Brazil was utterly crushed by Germany in the semifinals of the 2014 World Cup.Of course returning here still touches all of us, even those that didnt play, Brazil coach Tite said. But we have to know how to work in all situations. Two years have passed and we are in a different moment.Brazil midfielder Renato Augusto summed up the despondency felt by the nation that day, calling it a defeat for the whole country.All 62,000 seats are expected to be taken at the stadium in Belo Horizonte, located 350 kilometers (220 miles) north of Rio de Janeiro.Since Tite took over, Brazil has won four straight matches in South American qualifying and leads the group with 21 points from 10 matches. Argentina is five points behind.Three Brazilians who are likely to start against Argentina played against Germany: Real Madrid left back Marcelo, Manchester City midfielder Fernandinho and Guangzhou Evergrande midfielder Paulinho. Chelsea winger Willian is not expected to start, but also played against the Germans in the match now known as Mineirazo.Many others who played against Germany -- like Chelsea defender David Luiz and Atletico Mineiro striker Fred -- are not touted to return to the national team soon.Some of the first Brazil players to arrive in Belo Horizonte were also pledging to make fans forget about the 7-1 loss.Brazil has a chance to rewrite history, Paulinho said. We are not going to change what happened, but we can leave a good impression this time. After all we went through in 2014, this is a chance to make a comeback against a great team.Defender Rodrigo Caio, who had just turned professional in 2014, said this is a new Brazil, and fans will see that on the field. I can only imagine what that game was like for those that played.One young fan that attended Mondays open training session recalled the pain he felt watching as Germany destroyed Brazils hopes of a sixth World Cup win.I cried a lot at the 7-1. But now I am confident again, said 12-year-old Maicon Silva as he watched the squad training, before adding perhaps somewhat hopefully we are going to (win) 7-1 against Argentina to compensate.Barcelona teammates Lionel Messi and Neymar were expected to arrive on Tuesday as they prepare to compete against each other.Argentina coach Edgardo Bauza told The Associated Press that he is concerned about not reaching the 2018 World Cup in Russia. This is almost unthinkable for a team led by Messi that lost the 2014 final to Germany 1-0.After Brazil, Argentina faces Colombia on Nov. 15 in another tough test.Im worried because the qualifying is still not assured and must still be won, Bauza said.The four automatic spots from South American qualifying are now held by Brazil, Uruguay (20 points), and Ecuador and Colombia (17). A fifth spot will be decided by a playoff.Cheap Shoes Free Shipping . Louis Blues absence from top spot in the TSN.

It remains one of 73 countries to never have won a medal of any hue. For that history to change, most Bangladesh sports fans are looking to golfer Siddikur Rahman, fittingly born in the same year that his nation took its bow in Los Angeles.Rahman is also the first Bangladeshi who has qualified directly for the quadrennial event, making the cut for the top 60 golfers in the Olympic rankings in July.Rahman is looking forward to make the most of this opportunity, which he calls the greatest possible thing to have happened in his career.Eta te aami kemni bhaabe inspire hoyechi, eta aami aapna ke bojhatey paarbo na (I cannot explain to you how much inspiration I have taken from this), says Rahman. The lift that the media and the fans back home have given me as well as the pride that I have been feeling since is just phenomenal. Erokom ishara aami kokhono paayini (I have never got this kind of a response before).Qualifying for the Olympics would have been far from Rahmans mind when his association with the sport began as a forecaddie -- or a ballboy, as they are called in Bangladesh -- often employed in golf clubs to walk ahead of the golfers and spot the balls when they land.I used to work at the Kurmitola Golf Club, since I lived within two kilometres of the course, and thats where my interest in the game developed, recalls Rahman of those early days as an eager teenager. My friends used to play, and I would sometimes join them for fun. I never had any equipment or clubs of my own.The turning point came in 1999 when a 15-year-old Rahman was invited by his employers to participate in a selection trial for the national team. Playing with equipment and clothing loaned out by the club he worked for on a daily basis, Rahman says he staved off competition from 150 others to earn a place in the national team.You must realise that golf is a very new sport for Bangladesh, he says when talking of his first eight years as an amateur, a time that included an appearance in the individual event in the 2006 Asian Games in Doha. Though there have been professional golfers before me, nobody has competed on the Asian Tour or won professionally abroad before me. But the best part of this qualification has been the appreciation that I have got.Rahman is the winner of the Brunei Open 2010 aand Indian Open 2013, both Asian Tour events which had several familiar names on the major circuit.dddddddddddd. Two of those names were tied-second and a shot behind him when he won the Indian Open in New Delhi three years ago. I am looking forward to meeting both Anirban Lahiri and SSP Chawrasia, says Rahman. Anirban and I turned pro in the same year. Anirban and I won our [foursomes] match in the EurAsia Cup [in 2014]. Its great fun meeting these guys because we speak the same languages. I have picked up a fair amount of Hindi and they speak Bangla well too.Rahman would do well to heed the advice of Asif Hossain Khan, who went into the 2004 Athens Olympics as the reigning Commonwealth Games champion in the mens 10m air rifle, but finished 35th after failing to qualify for the final. The step up from the Asian Games and the Commonwealth Games up to the Olympics is a massive one, says Khan. You can get overexcited sometimes, and there is always pressure. When I won gold at the Commonwealth Games I was really happy, but you realise that your responsibilities go up too. I would just tell Siddikur and the other debutants not to try too many things and carry the honour of the country.Another connection between Khan and Rahman is that they were both the flagbearers for their modest contingents at the opening ceremony -- Rahman had four wildcard compatriots for company as opposed to Khans three.Khan remembers meeting Abhinav Bindra among other sportspersons and cherishes how all sportspersons he met treated him with respect. Rahman too has his sights set on the stars he admires and wants to meet. I would want to meet Roger Federer, Michael Phelps and the Williams sisters, he says. If I meet them, I would love to have a chat and maybe take a selfie with them.His focus has always been on the game, as one would expect from someone who has kept up his habit of spending eight hours every day in practice since landing in Rio de Janeiro on August 3.Golf is a very strange game, says Rahman. Your time can come on any given day. I just want to seek the blessings of my countrymen. Please pray for me. I want to perform well. This will be a massive moment for me.(Additional reporting by Mohammad Isam in Dhaka) ' ' '
