ULSAN, South Korea -- Four-time champion Brazil, which staggered through its World Cup qualification matches for South America, made heavy weather of a hustling Turkey team Monday night before winning 2-1, causing coach Luiz Felipe Scolari to exhort his players to keep it simple.
"We were too fancy, we tried to sidefoot the ball in, it looked like we wanted to score a fancy goal," Scolari said.
Turkish coach Senol Gunes was forthright about his team's performance.
