Carnival has begun

Yes... who ever saw the Brazil vs Japan match yesterday would have realised that. In fact it has begun in style.

I felt Brazil were off colour in their first two league matches. But they drove away all those ghosts and came back with a bang yesterday. Japan were not the kind of opponents to match Brazil, yet they put up a spirited fight and had the first blood.

In fact, it was that goal from Japan that brought out the best from the Champions. The young blood Robinho created so many chances, and he had a couple of shots on target also. They would have been great goals, had they been converted. I hope he becomes a regular player in the starting eleven. Ronaldo was nearly back to his best.

It was very heartening to see him do the "Vaala meenu" gesture once again. Juninho's goal should hint, what the team is capable of.

Brasil...
