BRAZIL : HOW THEY QUALIFIED

Brazil (9-2-7, 34) finished tied for the South American lead with Argentina (10-4-4), both with 34 points, but was crowned champs thanks to goal differential (18 to 12). The Brazilians booked a trip to Germany with a 5-0 thrashing of Chile on Sept. 5, 2005. "It was a magical evening for the team, and for me," said Adriano, who finished with a hat trick. Robinho and Juan also scored.
