MANCHESTER, England (AP) ? Brazil is not expecting an easier path to its first Olympic gold in football, despite escaping a semifinal with host Britain. It will still have to go through what it calls an extremely fit South Korean team.
Brazil became more favorite than ever to win the men's football tournament after the British were eliminated in the quarterfinals, following in the footsteps of other top contenders such as Spain and Uruguay.
Even the Brazilians admit they are in good position, but they are not taking anything away from the South Korean team it will have to face on Tuesday.
Brazilian players said they were surprised by how the South Koreans never gave up and played sound football to send the host home after extra time and penalties in the quarters.
