On the second U.S. trip game Brazil didn’t have the same performance it did in the first game against Canada in Seattle, when Brazil scored 3 times against 2 of Canada.
That is the first time in history that Brazil lost a soccer match to Venezuela. They play against each other 18 times and Venezuela has scored only 4 times before this game. The game took place at Gillette Stadium (House of Patriots) in Boston.

Brazil 0 x 2 Venezuela
The Brazilian players didn’t show the same performance as usual and Venezuela dominates the match. The first goal of the game was scored by Maldonado at 5 minutes in the first half. The second goal of Venezuela came after an error of fullback Henrique, Vargas moved through, passed Luisão and kicked in the left corner not giving any chance to Doni.
The Brazilian players were booed the whole time during the game, the fans were very disappointed and some of them left the stadium before the game ended.
The delegation will come to Brazil this Sunday. After a period of rest, the players will present on Tuesday for training at Granja Comary, in Teresopolis.
Brazil returns to the field on June 15, to face Paraguay - leader of the South American qualifies - in Asunción. Three days later, the team will face its eternal opponent, Argentina in Belo Horizonte.

Even though I live 4 hours away from Boston, I decided not go to the game. I had a bad feeling that Brazil wouldn’t win the game.
I would have been pissed off if I had wasted my time going to such lousy game.
I really hope Brazil’s team can perform better next time and win, since the winner of the next two games qualifies for the World Cup.
