The Kallang Roar beckons for Brazil and Japan

ICAN feel my heart racing just thinking about the big football match between five-time World Cup winners Brazil and Asian champions Japan at the new National Stadium on Tuesday.

The 6.45pm kick-off on a weekday hasn't dented ticket sales at all, with the 55,000-seater National Stadium in the Singapore Sports Hub expected to be packed to capacity with soccer fans waiting to catch Shinji Kagawa, Kaka and Neymar in the flesh.

I can't remember the last time Singapore hosted such a high-profile football game involving two giants of the sport.
