Brazil had no major issues beating Zimbabwe today, 0-3, on a friendly in Harare with goals from Michel Bastos (and what a goal!), Elano and Robinho. It was a great start, as Dunga tested the players before the first World Cup game against North Korea.

I liked what I saw. Players seemed excited to play football and the game flowed very well. The best news is, however, that with Michel Bastos Brazil might have finally solved the issue on the left wing and the problem of not having any decent players to take free kicks (well, except when Dani Alves leaves the bench).

Bastos’ goal was amazing. A fast free kick (139 km/h) from the right top of the box. I guess the Jabulani might not be so bad, huh?

Two birds, one stone. I love it.

    I agree! I’m glad to see how well Michel Bastos worked on the left. Plus, his goal was pretty awesome. I wanna point out that Maicon’s pass to Robinho’s goal was pretty good as well.
    I’m excited!
