Brazil entered the Olympics hoping for a gold medal, which they’ve never won, and they have nothing but pressure on their shoulders. The five time World Cup winners have two silver medals, 1984 and 1988, and a bronze in 1996. They were beaten out of the gold medal final in 1996 by Nigeria who went on to win gold that year. Even their opponent Belgium has a gold medal in Olympic Soccer. In Brazil’s first group play they beat Belgium 1-0, in prior meetings before Beijing they met four times in an international event. Brazil throttled their European counterparts 10-0 at the FIFA U-20 World Cup Malaysia 1997, won 2-0 after extra time in the Round of 16 at Korea/Japan 2002. Brazil beat Belgium 2-0 in the first-stage elimination round of the 2002 World Cup, a tournament that Brazil eventually won. Brazil is 4-0 SU against Belgium and they’ve outscored them 14-0.

Belgium coach Jean-Francois de Sart, believes that his team have a decent shot against the South Americans. Obviously, we're obliged to play a losing semi-finalist," said the coach the morning after the 4-1 defeat to Nigeria. "I would have much rather been playing a team who win, but we've already played Brazil, so I'm quite pleased we're playing them again. Brazil couldn't find a way through against our defensive system and there were periods of the game that I thought we were better than them."
