Mission accomplished, at least the first part of it. A great result has closed the first series of friendly games held by the Brazilian National Team. The paulista city São Carlos hosted two matches between the canarinhos and Uruguay, while now is time for Pipoca to think about the portuguese trip.
The first south-american challenge ended with a 4-0 win for Brazil and was mainly characterized by the impressive achievement of the Santos/Cortiana's craque Falcão, who reached the amount of 300 goals scored wearing the brazilian shirt. Today there was no match for Brazil, which got an eloquent 9-2 win.

Brazil will now move to Portugal, in order to play two more games vs the Jorge Braz's roster. Both games will take place in Coimbra on next tuesday 12th and wednesday 13th.

Below have a look, respectively, at the different roster selected to face Uruguay and Portugal: a lot of last minutes injuries forced the brazilian head coach Pipoca to choose new players to replace the "original ones", that's why the Krona/Joinville/DalPonte's goalie Franklin and the V&M Minas's pivot Dieguinho were replaced by Rennan and Jé for the uruguayan challenge, while the Inter Movistar flank Gabriel left his place to Simi for the european travel.
