Kaká battles it out
A second-half goal by Nilmar was the difference in a forgettable match between Brazil and
England in Qatar on Saturday.

No way through against Venezuela
Brazil ended their WC qualifying campaign with a goalless draw at home to Venezuela. Dunga's
side played most of the second-half with just ten men after São Paulo's Miranda was sent off. But
with Paraguay losing at Colombia, Brazil finished as group leaders.

Lucas (left) training with Brazil
Brazil play their final match in the WC qualifiers tonight in the estádio Morenão in Campo
Grande. Gilberto Silva, Kaká and Luis Fabiano, who were rested for Sunday's loss against
Bolivia, all return. Daniel Alves and Josué are suspended. So, Dunga has brought in Liverpool
midfielder, Lucas.

Down and out in La Paz
A lacklustre Brazil went down 2-1 in La Paz against Bolivia and so ended Dunga's team's 19 game
unbeaten run.
Olivares and Marcelo Moreno had given the homeside a two-goal cushion before Nilmar pulled one
back in the second-half. The combination of high altitude and poor attitude meant that Brazil
rarely threatened and the whole match had that ‘end of season' feel to it.

Blue is the colour
For their penultimate game in the WC qualifiers, Brazil take on Bolivia in La Paz and Dunga is
expected to make changes from his regular starting line-up. With Kaká, Gilberto Silva and Luis
Fabiano all rested, the coach could test Josué, Miranda, and Diego Souza. The latter two have had
good seasons for São Paulo and Palmeiras respectively but have yet to secure a place in the squad
for next year's finals.

Luís Fabiano scores against Estonia
Brazil made hard work of a testy match against Estonia in Tallinn. In the end, a late first-half
goal by Luís Fabiano was all that separated Brazil from a country 112th in the FIFA world
rankings.
Despite being a meaningless ‘friendly', the confrontation was littered with bad tackles by
both sides.

Robinho and Kaká
Brazil take on Estonia this afternoon in the A Le Coq stadium in Tallinn.
Midfielder Ramires has a muscle problem and misses out. The other doubt is at centreback where

Per una volta immodesto. Questa volta, il calciatore brasiliano Kak , sveste gli umili panni che
ha sempre dimostrato di avere, nella sua avventura italiana con la maglia rossonera, e afferma con
grande energia: "Se il Real ha pagato per avermi 67 milioni di euro, vuol dire che valgo questa
cifra e l'ho dimostrato''.

fa e spera di tornare presto ad assaporare i trionfi del passato.

Brazil celebrate
Brazil picked up their third Confederations Cup after coming back from two goals down against
the United States.
The USA took a shock lead when Dempsey's snap shot caught out Brazil's static defence on the
10th minute.
With 27 minutes on the clock, the US doubled the score after a superb counterattacking move from
their own half, ended with Donovan outfoxing Ramires before hitting a perfect shot past Júlio
César.

Daniel Alves puts Brazil in the final
An 87th minute goal by Daniel Alves put Brazil in the final of the Confederation Cup against the
United States on Sunday.
Alves hit a wonderful free-kick less than five minutes after coming on for André Santos.
Until that point, there was very little to choose between the two sides.

Una carezza all'Italia, dopo la brutta sconfitta di ieri sera, arriva, in queste ore di scoramento
per il popolo italiano, dal fuoriclasse del Real Madrid, Ricardo Kak .
Il fantasista, autore di un'ottima partita, a sostegno del "Fabuloso", Luis Fabiano, mattatore
dell'incontro con una doppietta, e di Robinho, il "ballerino", un'altra spina nel fianco della
difesa italiana, rivolge parole "dolci" e di consolazione nei confronti degli azzurri, da "ex
italiano", dopo un'iniziale sensazione di stupore per come è finito il match: "3-0 e' una sorpresa
anche per me".

Brazil dumped Italy out of the Confederations Cup after a ruthless display in Pretoria.
The game was dominated by Brazil who hit the woodwork a couple of times before a brace from
Luís Fabiano and a Dossena own goal ended the Italian's faint hopes before half-time.
Brazil now have a semi-final date with Joel Santana's South Africa in Johannesburg on
Thursday.

Basta cifre folli. Così non si può andare avanti. A scagliarsi contro un modo di fare mercato che
ha ormai oltrepassato i limiti del ragionevoli, è il premier Silvio Berlusconi il quale, dal
seggio elettorale, fa sentire la propria voce: ''I prezzi del calcio sono una pura follia...'Se uno
pensa alle cifre che ci sono - ha aggiunto - e le commisura all'economia normale, non c'è nessun
rapporto.

Kaká and Robinho in good spirits before the Italy game
Exactly 39 years ago, Brazil beat Italy 4-1 in the World Cup final in México. Italy got their
revenge 12 years later. But then in 1994 Brazil put one over the Europeans once again in the USA.
The last time they met was February this year, when Brazil saw off the Italians 2-0 in a friendly
in London.

(Brasile-Egitto 4-3)
Il Brasile (presente nel Gruppo B con gli azzurri, l'Egitto e gli Usa) parte bene nella
Confederation Cup, guidato da un grande Kak , autore di una doppietta (fantastico il primo gol, su
rigore la seconda che decide il match)e batte, anche se con qualche difficolt , un grintoso
Egitto, protagonista di un'ottima gara, nonostante la sconfitta, e trascinato dalla stella Zidan.

Hasta el minuto 90 tuvo que esperar Dunga para poder respirar tranquilo. Fue en el descuento
cuando Kaká transformó una pena máxima cometida por Al Muhamadi al despejar con el brazo derecho
un balón que se colaba en la portería egipcia. De esta forma, el nuevo jugador del Real Madrid le
dio a la canarinha una victoria que no se mereció en absoluto.
