Brazil looked set for another shot at glory in Germany in 2006. He managed just 17 further strikes in the famous yellow shirt during his career. It was the first of two masterful midfield displays to end the World Cup hopes of drab Brazil teams, with Wesley Sneijder assuming Zidane's role as the Netherlands vanquished Dunga's men in South Africa in 2010.

We hit the ground running on day one and from then on we managed to grab a few more victories along the way.
