Singapore 0 - Brazil 3

But of course. What's interesting, however, is the last statement in this article on Channelnewsasia.

"...Singapore's Coach Raddy Avromovic felt that his team did not take their chances well.

Still the game helped his players.

"We help them in their preparation and we help ourselves in some part of the game as the players can see that they can compete for some moments with the top teams," he said.

The Brazilian Coach Dunga felt that his team had performed well under the challenging weather conditions, and their lack of full match fitness.

Captain Ronaldinho, who was mobbed by the media, also gave his and the teams performance the thumbs up.

"I am happy I scored a goal, but more importantly, I created the opportunity for others to score and do well in the Olympics."

The Brazilians leave for Vietnam on Tuesday, the second of their tune-up matches ahead of the Beijing Olympics.

But against Vietnam, the Brazilians can expect a more physically demanding and challenging game as the Vietnamese are known to take their football more seriously."

I see, so the reason why we suck so badly in football is because we don't take it seriously enough. Complacent, maybe. :D
