Brazil Takes New Zealand 4 Nil

The Brazilian national team is looking good. World champions played New Zealand in their last warm-up match for World Cup and gave a brilliant performance of fitness and skill with 4-0 at the end of 90 minutes. Ronaldo, who had a rough season filled with injuries and missed games, scored the first goal and led Brazil to their 4 goals victory. Ronaldo was looking good on Sunday, and it seems that Brazil is ready.

Another Brazilian player who didn`t have a great season in Europe is Adriano, who also contributed to the Brazilian victory over New Zealand and showed great skills. The entire Brazilian team seems confidant, and that is an important thing when participating in tournaments such as World Cup. The pressure to perform and deliver the best is enormous and has a significant impact on players. Brazil, as for now, seems unaffected.

Although suffering four goals, the New Zealand team was also looking good. New Zealand goalkeeper Glen Moss managed to keep Brazil score at four goals. Something that any soccer fan will tell you is not easy.
