Well I just finished first game against Costa Rica.
First half was a disaster for both teams as shots were only 3-2 for me but only a header by Kaka was a decent effort.
They had a good strike with one of their attackers I think it was Fonseca.
Second half I brought in Adriano to replace Ronaldo who got tired (blue arrow).
The first minutes went just like the first half.
Conservative play by both sides.
I also brought in Ze Roberto to replace Ronaldinho (also blue arrow and placed Rivaldo a bit forward. Also, Roque Junior in the place of Lucio (blue arrow and tired).
In the final 15 minutes I decided to go all attack so I could get the win but to no avail. Kaka missed a great pretty open shot on goal and the Costa Ricans had a great one on one with Drummond but his shot went wide....

Final score
Brazil-Costa Rica:0-0
and now the trouble begins.....

Stats:
Shots on goal 8-5 for Brazil
Possession 49-51% for Costa Rica...

Other games results:

France-Denmark:1-0
Saudi Arabia-Ireland:0-2
Senegal-Uruguay:0-1
Germany-Cameroon:1-1
Argentina-Sweden:1-0
Slovenia-Paraguay:1-0

I'm playing pretty good but a tragic mistake by Dida have let Basturk put Turkey in front on 32nd minute.
There was a cross by a Turkish player and Dida was sure to catch the ball easily but somehow he just touched it and the ball fell down right in front of him allowing the upcoming Basturk for the easy goal.... DAMN!!!!
Half time
Brazil-Turkey:0-1
Let's see....

Second half:
I was 0-1 down but wouldn't like risking cause a draw could be ok as well. So I didn't go for full attack.
59th minute and Roberto Carlos makes the cross which finds the head of Ronaldinho who was completely alone. He heads the ball and Rustu makes a terrific save but Ronaldinho with the rebound header equalises!!!!
The game goes on and on 67th minute Nihat makes the shot, Dida with the save but Nihat comes again as the ball slips through the body of Dida and completely alone makes the score 1-2 for Turkey......
Then I decide to go All Attack as there are only 20 mins left but Rustu saves two fantastic shots by Kaka and Ronaldinho.
I have already replaced the struggling Ronaldo with Adriano and about in 80th minute I put in Kleberson in the place of Juninho who is blue arrowed and tired.
I win the corner from the left, Ronaldinho takes it and Kleberson is there with the header to make it 2-2!!!!!
After that I lost one more terrific chance with Ronaldinho a bit later but his shot went wide.
It was raining and the game felt awful but at the same time realistic! Maybe that's why the ball slipped through Dida's fingers in the firtst goal?
Game stats
shots: 10-8 for Brazil
possession 47-53% Turkey.
In the meanwhile, Fatih was dismissed after two yellow cards on 80th minute.
Final score:
Brazil-Turkey:2-2 and I keep struggling.....
I'm still in the game!
If I win against China that is...
If I win I'm 100% in the next round.

Other results:
Italy-Mexico:3-1

First half and i'm up 2-0 as predicted :)
I have Emerson on the bench and now I'm preparing to take out the big guns for the second as I think I have a comfortable lead.....
First goal, Ronaldo passed a terrific through ball to Kaka who was 1 on 1 with the keeper and could not possbly miss :)
That was on 8th minute
I had a powerful R.Carlos shot that was rejected by the goal post.
And then on 36th minute Juninho took the corner and Ronaldinho scored with the header.
Second half in a bit :)
