Brazil and Mexico drew both their international games, with Ronaldinho featuring in the goalless draw against Colombia and Giovani played the whole game for Mexico in their 2-2 draw with Nigeria.

Ronaldinho’s Brazil kicked off their 2010 World Cup qualifying campaign with a useful draw away to the always tricky Colombians in Bogota. In what proved to be a dour and even game, Ronaldinho played for the full 90 minutes.

Giovani sets up second goal

Giovani was also a starter against Nigeria in Juarez, where Hugo Sanchez’s side came from 0-2 down – both from Newcastle’s Obafemi Martins – thanks to a goal from Cacho and a penalty after a foul on Giovanni, which Cacho converted. The Barca youngster played for the full 90 minutes.
