Robinho strikes Brazil's second against Zimbabwe

Goals from Michel Bastos, Robinho and Elano, eased Brazil to victory against a muscular Zimbabwe side in Harare. Brazil enjoyed a good pre World Cup workout on a bumpy pitch against African opposition. But first-choice keeper, Julio César, was taken off after just 19 minutes after a blow to his thorax. Tottenham player, Gomes, came in.

    Missed the game… Is the Cesar injury going to affect the World Cup?

        Even if he weren’t fine, Gomes is a world-class keeper. Brazil is in good shape with either keeper. I’m less sure about Dida, who is erratic these days.

      something on the lines of Zimbabwe were not much of a challenge and a better oposition should have been found. also mixed views on brazil’s display. some said it was ok. others were not so happy.
      dunga said they’ll perform better in the WC
