1985 Record: 6 wins, 3 losses, 2 draws

Difficult to assess this Brazilian team, after the debacle (in Brazilian
terms!) in Spain, and the failure to hold the South American Nations
Cup, won by Uruguay, Brazil has been experimenting with different
combinations in many friendlies.  Their old goal punch seems to be gone,
and their defense is subject to lax moments.  By the same token, they
were never out of any match.

Caps: Paulo Victor, Edson Boaro, Oscar, Jose Mozer, Branco, Dema, 
Alemao, Casagrande, Jorginho, Reinaldo, Eder, Luis Carlos, Bebeto,
Careca, Mario Sergio, Jandir, Geovani Silva, Carlos Gallo, Wladimir
Santos, Leandro, Edinho, Junior, Socrates, Cerezo, Zico, Renato, Tato

Their defense has always been their weakness. They spend too much time
playing good/great to watch/attacking/adventurous soccer at the other
end. Better than the stodgy stuff we see from W. Germany! Oh how I would
love to see Brasil vs France....

I'm  a little surprized to see the 0 scores they had - they are normally
high scorers.
