The first day of the Pre-Mundial was played today in Brasilia. Thailand, coached by the Brazilian Glaucio De Castro, obtained an historical victory over Argentina, even if we have to remind that the team which will take part in the World Championship is not attending the tournament, but is training in Italy. No problems for Brazil against Australia.
