Brazil announce Netherlands friendly

• 

• RIO DE JANEIRO, December 8, 2010 (AFP) - Brazil will tackle their World Cup conquerors the Netherlands in a friendly match next June, Brazilian Football Federation (CBF) president Ricardo Teixeira announced on Wednesday.
  The game on June 4 will take place in one of the 12 stadiums that will be used to host matches at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.
  The CBF also confirmed friendly matches against France in Paris on February 9 and against Germany in Stuttgart on August 10.
  In July, Brazil will compete in the Copa America in Argentina, where they will be bidding to win their third consecutive continental crown.    Brazil and the Netherlands met in the quarter-finals of the 2010 World Cup in Port Elizabeth, South Africa last July, when Dunga's heavily fancied Brazil team were beaten 2-1.
  Dunga has since been replaced as coach by Mano Menezes, but Dutch coach Bert van Marwijk -- whose side were beaten 1-0 by Spain in the final -- remains in his role.
