Paris, March 6 (AFP) Neymar scored a hat-trick as World
Cup hosts Brazil routed South Africa 5-0 while bitter rivals
Argentina laboured to a 0-0 draw in Romania with Lionel Messi
struggling with illness.
On a bumper night of friendly internationals yesterday,
just 99 days out from the start of the World Cup, Brazil were
too hot for an outclassed South Africa at Soweto's Soccer
City, the venue for the 2010 final.
