Day 10: Brazil vs. Australia

Brazil 2 -- Australia 0

#7 ADRIANO (Brazil) 49'
#21 FRED (Brazil) 90'

Another sub-par performance from Brazil and Ronaldo who again was substituted off in the second half. Brazil still seem to be getting warmed up but I would not worry as they bring their A-game in the knockout stages. All they have to do is just make it alive from the round robin stage which they successfully did after this win. Adriano was set up beautifully by Ronaldo who had three men on him as his pass found an unmarked Adriano whos job had become so much easier. Fred added a second moments before the final whistle when a Robinho shot cracked off the upright and a tap was the order of the day, duly supplied by Fred.

Brazil have yet to come into their own and show their magic, I feel that Ronaldo should still be kept in the line up but there are others to fill his boots, so abundant is the talent in just this 23-man roster! Ronaldinho has to be utilised more as well and a more free role for him would do the trick since that is how he brings out his best.
