Brazil still had not won a game away in this World Cup Qualifies for 2010, plus it didn’t score a goal in the previous two games.

However against Chile the story was different and in style. “A seleção” won by 3 to 0 in the National stadium, with goals from Luis Fabiano (two) and Robinho. Ronaldinho Gaucho also missed a penalty in the first half

Brazil rose from sixth to second place, ahead of Argentina. The two countries have 12 points, but the number of goals of Brazil is better (seven to six). The rise in the table of classification relieves the pressure on the coach Dunga, who was being much criticized.

This was the fourth game of the team led by Dunga against Chile. And it won all four, scoring 16 goals and suffering only one. On Wednesday, the opponent will be Bolivia, in Rio de Janeiro, in Engenhão Stadium at 21h50m. Kleber who received a red card in Santiago, and Gilberto Silva, who received a second yellow card in the tournament, will not play.

This morning was a very bad Tuesday for the people in Brazil. One more time the Brazil soccer team didn’t do a good job at the Olympic Games and let the gold medal escape from their hands.

The games was ugly in the first half, none of the teams took the risk to go full power to attack. They knew that one detail would determine the winner of the match. The second half was better for Argentina which scored in the beginning with De Maria.

After suffer the goal Brazil kind of wake up in the game and try to push Argentina. Rafael Sobis with a amazing kick hit the post and Brazil tied the game.

Argentina took the advantage of a weak Brazil team and scored again with Agüero. After suffer the second goal Brazil started to make a lot of wrong passes and comit faults.

Penalty for Argentina

Brazil tried to react, but Argentina defense worked efficiently and did not leave Brazilian move, ending with the dream of Olympic gold. Agüero still had time to suffer a penalty. Riquelme kick in the middle of the goal and kill the game for Brazil.

Brazil faced Argentina yesterday for the World Cup 2010 qualifies and tie 0 to 0. The fans didn’t like what they paid for and booed the team the whole game, specially the coach, Dunga. After the bad result against Paraguay last week Brazilian fans were expecting a different game yesterday.

With the last results Brazil occupy the 5th place with 9 points in the qualifies. With only 50% of the points disputed Brazil’s position isn’t good because today Venezuela is going to face Chile and who else wins the match will pass Brazil in the qualifies.

Only the first four teams guarantee the participation in World CUP of South Africa 2010, the fifth team will need to face one Concacaf opponent to the last spot, something that never happened with the Brazilian National Team, the only one to participate in all editions of the World Cup.

Bad situation for Dunga

The situation isn’t worrying the coach Dunga who participated in three World Cup edition as a player. “You should’ve seen the numbers in my participation. The qualifies didn’t end today, we are only in the sixth round of 18. In 2002, we had difficulties and in 1994, too.”, he said.

Asked if the result against of Argentina threatens his stay in command of the Brazilian National Team, Dunga has shown irritation. “This question was addressed to the wrong person. You have to speak with Ricardo Teixeira (president of the Brazilian football confederation), who is the boss,” he said.

These are the only matches Brazil will play before the qualifies for 2010 World Cup, in June.

On May 14, Brazil will face Paraguay in Asunción-Paraguay, while on May 18 will receive Argentina, in Belo Horizonte-Brazil.
