Brazil will win the World Cup in Germany next year.

to Athens to participate the draw ceremony of Greek first division soccer
league. [Reuters] | "We know it will be very
difficult, but we believe we will win again," Ronaldinho said in Athens, where
he was to attend Greece's first-division fixtures draw.
Ronaldinho captained Brazil to a 4-1 win over Argentina in Wednesday's
Confederations Cup final. The Barcelona striker contrasted that result with a
3-1 away defeat against Argentina in a World Cup qualifier on June 8.
"Then (in Argentina) we had 30 chances and scored one goal, and yesterday we
had 15 chances and scored four goals."
Spanish sports daily Mundo Deportivo said Thursday that Spain's league
champions, FC Barcelona, had offered Ronaldinho a contract aimed at keeping him
for the rest of his career.
Ronaldinho said that he was "very happy" at Barcelona.
"I have three years left on my contract with Barcelona ... I'm not thinking
of anything except Barcelona at the moment," he said.
