Brazil vs Egypt Match Preview

Angela Asante, Jun 9th 2009
The first match of Group B sees CONMEBOL champions Brazil clash against Egypt in a titanic clash for the Pharaohs.

Egypt's national football team line up for a picture

Facing the 2002 World Cup winners in their first game of the campaign is certainly the most difficult start that the Egyptians could have ever got.
Egypt are successful on the African continent’s front with five African Nations Cup trophies in their room of awards. Despite being the first African country to qualify to the finals of a World Cup, Egypt have comprehensively failed to lift their image status internationally.

The Pharaohs are in the most uncomfortable position in their World Cup qualification campaign with only a single point from two games. A stunning 3-1 defeat away to Algeria in the World Cup qualifiers is by no means the best result to boost the team’s spirit ahead of the Confederations Cup tournament.

 

No problem for Carlos Dunga's Brazil?

Coach Carlos Dunga is constantly under criticism despite Brazil’s recent excellent results. A Seleccao destroyed their Uruguayans counterpart 4-0 in a world cup qualifier earlier this month, but the team’s defensive style of play in this encounter came very much at the displeasure of Brazilian fans.
Retorting to the supporters’ angry claims, Dunga explained:

"From the moment that Brazil manages to equal other teams in terms of motivation and will to win, our technique will make the difference," Brazil's Robinho at the2006 Confederations Cup

"That's why that we say that talent is not enough. Talent is extremely important, but it has to be united with other things to have any effect. History shows this.

"On a lot of occasions, Brazil have had players of very high quality but haven't got the results."

Will they get it right against Egypt come Monday, June 15?
