Brazil hopes to get as hot as weather
STUTTGART, Germany -- Despite beating Germany in a World Cup warmup, Brazil hopes to get better when it really warms up.Several of Mario Zagallo's stars, including Ronaldo, wore gloves in near-freezing temperature Wednesday, while the coach sat huddled in a warm coat.
"But it wasn't easy to play in the cold in Germany," Zagallo said, after winning 2-1. "Things will be a bit easier for us though in France."
As defending champion, Brazil opens the tournament against Scotland at Saint-Denis, near Paris, June 10, when it should be a lot warmer.
