Brazil loses to Portugal

[VivaItalia]

Simao may lack Ronaldo's flair, but he imitated all of winger's Premiership finishing skills and more. The Benfica man expertly picked out a Quaresma cross in the 82nd minute and bounced a volley past Helton to the delight of the nearly 60,000 strong in attendance for the beautiful game.

Things went so well for Portugal in the final moments that even Chelsea defender Ricardo Carvalho (90 min.) nipped in for a classy, bouncing volley off a Hugo Viana cross that involved another pass from the ever-impressive Porto star, Quaresma.

The defeat is the first in charge for Brazil manager Dunga, while his counterpart, Portugal coach Luiz Felipe Scolari, enjoyed his second successive victory -- and third straight without defeat -- against his native country.

this wasn't Brazil's "B Team", most of the players that played are starters.

but who cares if they lost, at least they know some weaknesses within the new squad in an unimportant match.

its kind of hard to call a team with kaka, diego, adriano, fred, lucio, and gilberto silva a b team

its kind of hard to call a team with kaka, diego, adriano, fred, lucio, and gilberto silva a b team

when a team doesnt have half of its starters it is called a B team.

If Deco isn't performing, Ronaldo can step up. If Ronaldo isn't performing, Quaresma can step up. If Quaresma is struggling, you can put in Simao for experience or Nani. If their is problems in midfield, you can bring in Moutinho.

All it needs now is Manuel Fernandes in place of Petit as the defensive midfielder and a decent left back and striker.
