Brazil 0-1 France: Saturday, 1 July

In the match against France, Brazil did not perform as we expected and hoped.

The team played badly and upset thousands of Brazilian fans by losing 1-0.

It is very sad that Brazil are now out of the World Cup.

Brazil 3-1 Ghana: Tuesday, 27 June

In the game against Ghana, our manager bought Gilbert Silva and Juninho on later in the match but Brazil still won by three goals.

Ronaldo scored very early and Ghana had a player sent off.

But I do think Brazil has benefited from facing some of the easier teams whose football is very inferior to ours!

And I believe that final phase is also not going to be too hard for Brazil to get through as France have not played so well so far.

Go Brazil!

Brazil 4-1 Japan: Thursday, 22 June

Brazil played well against Japan and deserved to win easily.

Japan did not offer much resistance and Ronaldo came back to play very well!

He scored two of the goals and equalled the record for the top World Cup scorer!

Brazil 2-O Australia: Sunday, 18 June

In the game against Australia, Brazil played with the same skill as they did when they beat Croatia.

And goals from Adriano and the substitute Fred meant Brazil won and we lead the group!

Brazil 1-0 Croatia: Tuesday, 13 June

Brazil were not as good as we wanted them to be but we were successful! And Croatia are also a good team and I don't think Ronaldo was well.

But the important thing is to be successful and to grow into the competition, and I believe that we will improve for the match against Australia.

The Brazilian people are confident!

I don't think the Brazilian manager is making use of all his substitutes as they are excellent players. However, we win in the end and this will be very good!

Tournament preview

What's the atmosphere like in Brazil?

I am very pleased with the Brazilian selection. Brazil is going to have a bit of difficulty in the first games because of the lack of team training. I am worried by Croatia as they are a strong and very hard-working team, and so is Japan.

The players of Brazil are in good shape to win. I am very excited to watch the games. I've already seen Brazil as the champions in Japan and Korea in 2002, so I think we can do it again!
