Brazil World Cup Team : Natural, skillfull,instinctive.
The Elite in World Soccer.
The Total Champions.
Good luck to Iraq and China. They should qualify.
Australia? Lets be fare, they are still learning and have a few players gaining needed experience from the Professional English teams.
Don’t expect them to go through “INTO” the next World Cup.
No stipes yet for them.

Ronaldo Makes Me Sick

I cannot believe how a talent like Ronaldo would show up overweight in the greatest sporting event in the world. The 1996, 1997 and 2002 World Footballer of the Year was a disgrace in the first game against Croatia with Kaka providing the only goal fo…

The facts are clear. Ronaldo is not the same, or so it seems. Let us also consider the tactical facts of the game. It takes 15 men to win a soccer match (11 on the pitch, 3 reserves and the coach) Having said that, we must examine the mind of Parriera. He is not coach because of his experience on the field, he is a master strategist.
He opted to have the team train under carnival situations where it would be similar to the actual games, a lot of distractions and noise. He opted to play against 2nd string teams in freindlies. He is talking about an attacking game but defense is his core. Having an unfit Ronaldo on the field against Croatia is a ploy to disract the opposition. If u watch the game, no one really wanted to target Ronaldo. It is almost as if they deliberatly avoided Ronaldo who was probably told to hold back. This gave Adriano and Kaka the room to float around while Ronaldo and Ronaldinho were marked heavily. I do not doubt Parriera’s strategy. I just hope it does not back-fire.

If brazil could not change their style of playing,they will be beaten easily by Argentina,Germany Italy or England..Ronaldo should not be in the team from the start,Ronaldinho was showing off too much..that’s not what we expect from brazil..they were playing lazy football,not like they used to do..

Brazil better be worried on that form probably the easiest group match for them. Expect both Japan and Australia to give them more of a run for their money. They struggled with Japan on their last match with the samurai and against australia, I wouldn’t want to see this tape if I were Brazil.
