WUHAN: China's head coach is crossing her fingers Brazil dishes out the same treatment to Denmark during the last group match of the Women's World Cup after the formiddable South Americans thumpd the home side 4-0 on Friday.
China's Swedish coach Marika Domanski-Lyfors and the players show disappointment after a 4-0 drubbing by mighty Brazil on Saturday, September 15, 2007. [Xinhua]The Brazilians are three competition points clear of both Denmark and their latest victim China and possess a far superior for-and-against goal scoring record - nine compared to the Danes' one and China's minus three - meaning they are all but assured of progressing to the quarters.
China's coach, Marika Domanski-Lyfors, is hopeful her charges can now beat New Zealand by a large margin and the South Americans do the same to the Danes.
"Brazil has very good position in the group with six points while China and Denmark have three points each," the Swedish mentor said.
"I hope Brazil will be professional and play the best game and field the best team against Denmark."
China might fall short of qualification even if it wins its final pool match against New Zealand.
"If Brazil lost the match to Denmark, it would be very, very difficult for us as we have to score many, many goals against New Zealand."
Local media have speculated that Brazil would not field its best players for the side's third match.
