Robinho scored two goals and Kaka added another as Brazil easily defeated Tanzania 5-1 on Monday in their last warmup before the World Cup. Robinho scored first with a shot from inside the area in the 10th minute and added to the lead with a header in the 33rd at the National Stadium in Dar es Salaam. Substitute midfielder Ramires scored his first two international goals in the 52nd and in injury time,while Kaka chested in a cross in the 76th.

There is still something missing. But we still have a week to go before the opener and we will work to get better, said Kaka,who came into the match nursing a thigh injury but played the entire match. Tanzanias lone goal was scored by Jabir Aziz from a corner in the 87th.

Brazil hadnt allowed a goal in five matches,since a 2-1 loss to Bolivia last October in a World Cup qualifier in the high altitude of La Paz.

Dunga made six substitutions and tested a new formation in the second half,with right back Daniel Alves replacing Elano in midfield in a more attacking setup. I summoned players with different characteristics,so I have a lot of options, Dunga said.

3-0 for Three Lions

At Moruleng in South Africa,England overcame a South African league team 3-0 despite a slack performance in the final training match before its World Cup opener against the United States. Jermain Defoe,Joe Cole and Wayne Rooney scored against the Platinum Stars in front of a small crowd. Only midfielder Joe Cole played the entire match as coach Fabio Capello made 10 changes at halftime.

Rooney was one of the substitutes and his second-half booking for indicating to the referee that he required spectacles perfectly illustrated the teams frustrations at playing poorly just five days before meeting the Americans. Cole was lively but England labored throughout and struggled to retain possession even after increasing its tempo in the second half.
