    Another half chance for Brazilpublished at 11:48 British Summer Time 9 June 2017

    Brazil 0-0 Argentina (35 mins)

    Ex-Chelsea full-back Filipe Luis has a pop from 25 yards but the drive was always rising.

    "Gabby J" aka Gabriel Jesus is back on the pitch. He appears to be running off whatever knock he had.

    Gabriel Jesus is on the deck and has taken off his boot.

    The Manchester City forward was out for a while last season with a foot injury, so this could be worrying for City fans.

    Liverpool's Phillippe Coutinho should have scored but perhaps Willian shouldn't have passed to him.

    Brazil break down the left with the Chelsea midfielder who unselfishly squares the ball to the Liverpool man. However, Coutinho sees his effort blocked as he tries to take the ball around Manchester United keeper Sergio Romero.

    Willian should have just smacked it.

    Ross Jacobs: Doubt she will be able to keep a strong and stable defence....

    Graham Roberts: But only for an interview, hopefully. Thing is managers seem to get a new job pretty sharpish after being sacked.

    Half a chance.

    Beijing Guoan midfielder Renato Augusto tries to bend one in from 20 yards out for Brazil.

    But is accurate as an election poll.

    This is more like a State of Origin match at the MCG judging by the tackles flying in.

    Bar Angel Di Maria's earlier effort for Argentina, no other chances to report.

    Surging.

    It's stride o'clock by PSG's Angel Di Maria whose run ends with a strike against Brazil keeper Weverton's right-hand upright.

    By the way this is Jorge Sampaoli's (who looks a bit like Pitbull and is the ex-Chile coach) first match in charge of Argentina.

    An easy opener eh?

    There's supposed to be about 100,000 people at the Melbourne's MCG.

    The match is under way after a minute's silence for the victims of the recent London attacks.

    More on Monk to Middlesbrough...published at 10:48 British Summer Time 9 June 2017

    BBC Sport understands Gary Monk has now officially been offered the job after several candidates were interviewed.

    Monk, 38, left Leeds on 25 May after being unable to "reach an agreement" with new owner Andrea Radrizzani.

    He managed Swansea City in the Premier League between 2014 and 2015 before guiding Leeds to a seventh-placed finish in the Championship last season.
