    Yes but this assumes Brazil win their group. I think it's more likely
    that Morocco does, in which case the star game of the round will be
    Holland - Brazil.

    In the end Brazil clinch first spot. Looks like their start was pretty
    good after all. They do seem to be able to score as many they need to
    when they need to. But then the opposition was weak, and against the
    only ones that weren't they only got a draw.
    I guess we'll have to wait until the round of 16 to see what job
    Ancelotti has done.
