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.
