WORLD CUP FOOTBALL: The Brazilian coach Mario Zagallo is expected to name Goncalves for the opening game against Scotland on Wednesday.
Goncalves will stand in for the injured central defender Aldair.
Bebeto replaces the injured Romario.
Today, the centre of Paris will come to a standstill as up to a million spectators take to the streets - in a party which, the organisers say, will symbolise the universality of the World Cup.
