Brazil 3x0

Brazil took on Zimbabwe as their first of two World Cup teasers before the big time.  The match was pretty tough, as the African team didn't ease up on fouls and played a very physical game. 



GK Julio Cesar even left the match injured, but sources close to him say there isn't a problem and that he'll surely line up for Brazil in about 2 weeks' time for the debut of the world's biggest football team ever.

Goals were scored by Michel Bastos, Elano and Robinho.  Bastos' scorcher was awesome, as was the play leading up to Elano's goals - a typical fast-paced, skill rich brazilian passing play.

Critics in Europe have said the team disappointed, but that's more than likely because they're either jealous and/or scared of the awesome chances the yellow jersey has of adding a sixth star to its constellation.

Vai Brasil !!  The goals:
