Ramires, explosive midfielder from Benfica of Portugal, scored his first two goals along with Robinho and Kaká's goals in the victory 5 - 1 over Tanzania. This international friendly match served as Brazil's last before the debut in the 2010 FIFA World Cup against North Korea on June 15. Robinho opened the score with a extraordinary kick inside the area in just 10 minutes of the game by Kaká's assist to Michel Bastos giving a magnificent center to the Brazilian striker. Ramires debuted his scoring two goals shown abilities in the Era of Dunga, the first was an individual game of the player in the minute 52 and with a fantastic header at the stoppage time. Kaká, Real Madrid's explosive midfielder, managed to score at the 76 minute, in which he managed to control most of the attack and with a good "joga bonito" exhibited scored with much facility.

Brazil started with most of the players that begun as the starting lineup, with the exception of Julio Cesar because in the last game he was injured in his back so he needed rest to stay in Johannesburg to rehabilitate. Dunga's players improved their offensive vocation with a Kaká more attentive and very supportive of its defenders to go up and a Robinho with much opportunities to score due to Tanzania's weak defense. Nevertheless, Brazil had defensive problems as well, they were erratic at moments and lacking any offensive strategy in the field, making the Tanzania offensive seemed a bit stronger and with much opportunity to score. Felipe Melo failed terribly, but at times goalkeeper Gomes corrected those errors by not letting the local team score. Due to the fact that the defense committed several errors, much work was to be done with the strikers that with their quality of cracks, they managed to widen the score successfully.

Brazil can now breathe because in yesterday's game that I saw in the Portuguese channel, Kaká managed to be on the field for the whole match. With this, Kaká has played much better than in the other days with Brazil with the assist of the first goal and scoring the last goal of the match. With this defeat, many of the critics are proven wrong by Dunga, even though he faced many criticisms about the offensive attacks of the team, in that there are more defenders than strikers.

Brazil will manage to win the group G stage along with Portugal, but we can also acknowledge that the Ivory Coast and North Korea are two competitive teams willing go through the next stage, crushing and embarrass Portugal in what will be disastrous for the team CR9 will face.
