Brazil-Morocco:3-0

Brazil easily won the game. Morocco played much better than the final score indicates. I had predicted 3-1 with Ronaldo scoring. I was soooooo close again! This sets up two great games to be played next. Everyone needs a win to advance (except Brazil). I expect (and hope) the Norwegians to be thoroughly beat because the Brazilians will go to them to revenge the loss from a friendly a few months back (the Norwegian coach made some stupid comments after the comments unfavorable to Brazil). Scotland-Morocco should be a classic. Morocco must win to qualify. The Scots could go through with a tie. The nice thing about it is that both games will be played at the SAME time. I think Morocco will go through even with this shaky goalie and momentary lapses in defense (the Scots have no Ronaldo, Bebeto, Rivaldo to score goals). Why were the Brazilian fans cheering for Edmundo? This was guy was so pathetic...Bebeto had another excellent game, I think him and Ronaldo are playing well together. We are all seeing flashes of the incredible talent of these Brazilians. The question is: Are they united enough to go all the way? Hmm, after seeing Dunga chase Bebeto to beat him up, I am beginning to wonder. Can't wait for the last two games of this group!
