THE NATION is jublilant after this 3-0 win over Argentina, our ultimate rival.
To beat them is always a pleasure. It all all worked out well, from the wonderful start until the great goal by Kaka at the end.
Elano, who scored two goals, couldn´t imagine a game like this even his wildest dreams.
He was an average player in Brazilian football and became an established international in just one game, just as his mentor Dunga won the hearts and minds of the nation with this victory. We liked the way Dunga used Kaka.
Our most passionate fans saw Juan and Lucio as the only good heritage of the 2006 World Cup, and Robinho showed what a mistake the old regime made by not using him more in Germany.
The fans who celebrated the goals on pitch were strongly criticised in the Brazilian media, which usually considers stadiums with fences very unsuitable for our fans.
Julio Baptista said hello to the Emirates Stadium in very special way and the commentator on the Brazilian television was impressed by the ovation he got from his new fans.
Now we look forward to Tuesday night's game against Wales.
We wonder how Ronaldinho will respond to the critics who said he is not the same player for Brazil as he is for Barcelona.
