It's time for beautiful football, says Brazil coach Dunga

Brazil coach Dunga anticipates a "beautiful game" when his side take on Holland in tonight's quarter-final.

Brazil coach Dunga anticipates a "beautiful game" when his side take on Holland in tonight's quarter-final. Dunga, who skippered the Selecao to their fourth world title in 1994, has been attacked for producing a Brazil team that is said to be long on substance, short on style.

Johann Cruyff is one of the critics, with the former Dutch great even saying he wouldn't pay to go and watch this last-eight clash.

"We expect the game to be very open. At this knockout stage we can't expect a closed, defensive encounter. From now on each game is a World Cup final. All the players are first class. I expect a beautiful game against the Dutch."

Kaka is one of ten players going into this encounter already on a yellow card and risks missing out on a potential semi-final should he get a second booking.

He had to sit out Brazil's game against Portugal after being sent off for two yellow cards against Ivory Coast.

"Kaka is an intelligent player ufffd he knows how important he is to Brazil. But if he is always fouled and still gets a yellow card, I don't know what to say."
