Brazil's dreams of gold were shattered last night as they were dealt a
3-0 thumping by arch-rivals and defending champs Argentina.
The Selecao must now battle for the bronze against Belgium, who were downed by African giants Nigeria earlier in the evening.
But
Anderson will have no time to celebrate or commiserate the result of
Friday's clash, as he will jet back to England instantly to rejoin his
United team-mates.
And not before time, from Ferguson's point of view.
The
Red Devils are in the midst of an injury crisis, with Owen Hargreaves,
Michael Carrick, Cristiano Ronaldo and Ryan Giggs all unavailable all
suffering from some malady or other.
Such is the depletion of
the European champions' squad that it was thought Anderson would skip
the Olympics, after the Court of Arbitration for Sport granted clubs
permission to block their stars from competing in Beijing.
But Ferguson allowed the 20-year-old to represent his country at the Games, although he may now be regretting that decision.
Anderson is a chance to feature in Monday's Premier League stoush against Portsmouth.
