Brazil could not have asked for a better start. They get an early lead and Ronaldo removed a potential-#### off his back as he becomes the most prolific scorer in the history of the World Cup Finals.
It was a great transition from Emerson and Lucio - knocking the ball around at the back - to Kaka to Ronaldo who beats a poor attempt at an offside trap.
The best stuff from Brazil has come from Kaka. Although 2-0 up, Brazil has not convinced me that they are the best team at this tournament - yet.
Ghana finished the half strongly and the second Brazilian goal (and Brazil's 200th WCF goal) came against the run of play. Mensah did everything right with his header from a late corner except putting it wide of Dida.
