The women won six, had a tie and only lost to the US by 3 to 2. Their adversaries are current world champions Norway, second place Germany and Japan. Only the two best teams will continue into the next phase of the games. CBF is also taking care of extra expenses with security and housing. Instead of utilizing the rooms at the Olympic Village, the soccer aces will be lodged in a hotel where a whole floor will be reserved for the team.
Brazil soccer is thirsty for a medal, preferably a gold one.
It's the only title the team hasn't gotten yet. Perspectives are good, Nigeria, Brazil's strongest adversary in theory, is going through a series of crises. The final soccer team was defined late in June. They were Roberto Carlos, Aldair, Juninho, Ronaldinho and Bebeto. Ronaldinho who is now 19, was only 17 during the Word Cup.
