[QUOTE="dragos03, post: 786122, member: 44724"] Of course it is. I'm not saying that Argentina should be forced to label their A side as their full test one. My point is that Tier 2 nations should also be able to use official A teams whenever they send an understrength team to a competition like this, for whatever reason. This match should have been considered Brazil vs USA A, with no ranking loss. Also, I doubt it was the best USA team available. Surely they could have called at least a few of their overseas professional players. They chose not to do it because Brazil was probably considered a weak opponent and they thought they could win with their A team anyway. [/QUOTE]
