Brazil which is one of the kings of Football/Soccer is participating in the 2010 World Cup in Group G. Group G is also known as the Group of Death since it will be competing against Portugal, Ivory Coast, and the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea [also known as North Korea].
Brazil has been the host of the 1950 World Cup and has qualified in many of the World Cups of the second half of the 20th Century and the 2002, 2006, and 2010 World Cups with success. Brazil is also known as the powerhouse of the Americas when it comes to football/soccer.
Brazil is the home to players such as Pele, Roberto Carlos, Ronaldinho, Kaka, Luis Fabiano, Julio Cesar, and Thiago Jotta Da Silva. Thiago Jotta Da Silva played for the venerable Vasco Da Gama team before his fatal and tragic death which left the country in a state of shock. Brazil is currently in first place in the FIFA Coca Cola Classification and won first place in the 2009 FIFA Confederation Cup held in South Africa.
Brazil is also the home of coaches abroad including the current one for Bafana Bafana [which is the nickname for the South African National Football/Soccer Team. The possilities for Brazil are endless in the Group of Death although it faces stiff competition from Portugal and its principal player Cristiano Ronaldo and the Ivory Coast under the direction of Sven Goran Eriksson.
The underwriter is willing to predict that Brazil will go the quarter finals, the semi finals, and maybe the finals to play against teams such as South Africa and maybe Portugal. The interesting game woul be against Argentina which Brazil will win hands down even though Argentina has Lionel Messi as a principal player.
The Brazilian National Football/Soccer Team at the current time has had nine wins, seven draws, and 2 losses. The team has 33 goals for and 11 goals against. The average that the team has received in yellow cards were 35, two yellow cards followed by a red card 2, and the red card being 2.
The top scorer of the team is Luis Fabiano with nine goals scored with 801 minutes played. He has also been the player who has received the most in yellow cards followed by red cards.
It remains to be seen what will happen but the future is bright for Brazil in the 2010 FIFA World Cup.
