    Cabrito: Next time I make a mistake at work I’m going to tell myself ‘It could be worse, you could be the person that allowed the #ArgentinaVsBrazil, external game to go ahead.’

    S James: The Argentina squad had been in Brazil for 3 days yet their health authority wait until the game kicks-off before getting the game stopped. All this information they're stating about the English based players they would of known about well in advance of Argentina arriving in Brazil.

    I can no longer see moving pictures from the impromptu Brazil training session so updates and descriptions of goalkeeper worldies from now on are unfortunately limited.

    What a farcical way to mark one of the great games in world football.

    The game kicked off and we were five minutes in and on wander onto the field a number of health officials and at that point it became obvious we were not going to have a game today.

    Argentina, who have another game on Thursday against Bolivia, have high-tailed it to the airport without playing the game.

    Switzerland 0-0 Italy

    That point sees Italy equal the world record for longest unbeaten run at international level.

    Brazil also went 36 games unbeaten between 1993 and 1996.

    Spain bounce back from that shock Sweden defeat by brushing off Georgia.

    San Marino 1-7 Poland

    Adam Buksa scores twice for Poland in injury time to seal his hat-trick.

    That means he has scored four goals in just two international games, after bagging on his debut against Albania the other day.

    Switzerland 0-0 Italy

    Italy extend their unbeaten run to a European record 36 games.

    It could have been better if Jorginho had scored his penalty.

    All over in this one with Kosovo scoring an injury-time equaliser.

    Romelu Lukaku's 100th cap ends with a goal, assist and yellow card.

    All over now. Thankfully for Armenia.

    Vedat Muriqi rescues Kosovo with an injury-time header. That's their only shot on target.

    I can't post directly on this page but honestly check out this goal, external from the Brazil goalkeeper.

    Almost, almost made up for this game being suspended.

    Karim Adeyemi (90+1 mins)

    What an international debut from Karim Adeyemi.

    The 19-year-old, who plays for Salzburg in Austria, finishes into the bottom corner from Florian Wirtz's pass.

    Brazil-Argentina suspended

    This live feed of the Brazil training session is briefly interrupted to show some Argentina-labelled boxes being loaded onto a truck.

    Without officially saying Argentina are leaving, it looks like they are leaving.

    Brazil-Argentina suspended

    There's some quotes from Argentina boss Lionel Scaloni on the country's football association website.

    Via online translation: "I come so that our country finds out what has happened. It makes me very sad. I am not looking for any culprit. If something happened or did not happen, it was not the time to make that intervention.

    "It should have been a party for everyone, to enjoy the best players in the world. I would like the people of Argentina to understand that as a coach I have to defend my players.

    At no time were we notified that they couldn't play the match. We wanted to play the match, the Brazilian footballers too."
