"Brazil will go out to win," berkata Kaka. "This final group game is important for us to finish first. A draw would also be good but a win would give us the strength to go into the knock-out round really motivated."
Brazil have won 12 and lost twice against Portugal in 18 meetings between the two sides. "There is a little bit of rivalry between Brazil and Portugal," berkata Kaka. "There are three Brazilian-born players in their side (Pepe, Deco and Liedson). Portugal is one of the teams we have faced lebih times in baru saja years. We thrashed them in Brasilia (6-2) and we lost against them in london 2-0."
