Brazil have decided to make changes to their side after the expected destruction of Scotland did not take place in the first game.

Despite taking a lead in the fourth minute the subsequent events have led to much introspection in the Brazilian camp in this last week. The outcome of this is the Leonardo will start the match in midfield alongside Rivaldo who began the tournament impressively against the Scots. Zagallo appears to Hoddle complete sway at the moment as Leonardo is one of his most favoured players although doubts about his ability to play well in midfield remain. Zagallo has also not included Edmundo in the starting eleven after he punched Leonardo following a friendly. This was a step too far for Zagallo who has also thrown Giovanni out of the reckoning following his dismal first half performance.

Brazil appear to have almost too many options and will need Ronaldo to mask the indesision. Morocco will see the latest version of the 'greatest team' but have no reason to fear. Zagallo praised their performance against Norway and if they can get some breaks going there are faults in the Brazilian defence that may be exposed. Hadji is receiving treatment for a broken toe and needs pain killing injections before the start of the game. They certainly worked against Norway and his raids could again be a pleasing feature of the Moroccan play. Naybet is reverting to a Mansourian for Iran marking role for the test of stopping Ronaldo.
