| BRAZIL NEWS |
| It was always going to be interesting to see just how Brazil would take being the first world champion to have to re-qualify, but not only did they do it easily, they topped the South American standings in doing so. And it's easy to see who lead the way for Brazil with Ronaldo scoring ten of their 35 goals, Adriano a distant second on six. The big names still came to the goal scoring party though with Kaka and Ronaldinho scoring five and four respectively. They'll be tough to beat once more in Germany. |
