    Ronaldo: We need to improve

     MILAN, Italy (AP) -- Ronaldo, who scored Brazil's winning goal in Wednesday's 2-1 match against European champion Germany, told Milan's sports daily Gazzetta dello Sport his team will have to improve to clinch its fifth world title in France.
     "The match with Germany proved Brazil is powerful. But it must be clear we must play better, with more consistency, to win the World Cup," the Inter Milan star said.
     He also cited rough play by the German side during the hard-fought "friendly."
     "Luckily, in the World Cup, they will enforce the new rules providing expulsion for those players making tackles from behind," Ronaldo said.
