Cafu
Seasoned right back, Cafu is the mainstay in defence. Pedestrian
with Roma, he will be responsible for frustrating the opposition.
Roberto Carlos
Known for his trademark booming shots, Carlos tackles hard at the
back, swings aerial lobs from the flanks and takes cracks at the
goal from free-kicks.
Juninho Paulista
An exciting medio, Paulista delights with his dribbling,
distribution and shot selection.
Denilson
A magician with the ball, Denilson is a classical Brazilian
striker. Played in short spells, he can be effective if his ball
distribution is more even.
Rivaldo
When on song, Rivaldo can create and score goals by the bucket.
The hitch? He does not perform to potential for Brazil and suffers from a sore knee.
Ronaldinho
A gifted striker, Ronaldinho has the vision to net stunning goals.
If his partnership with Ronaldo clicks, expect a royal treat.
Ronaldo
The most famous member of the Brazilian squad, Ronaldo has been
dogged by injury. But he is shaping up well in the run-up to
the finals, and will be eager to redeem himself after the France
'98 debacle.
Felipe Scolari (Coach)
Scolari, Brazil's most successful coach at club level, is defensive
in his game plan. Having dropped Romario from the squad, he will
be in the hot seat to justify his selection and style.
