SOGWIPO, South Korea -- And another one bites the dust.
China's first World Cup adventure came to a shuddering halt here Saturday night when it was outclassed 4-0 by a Brazilian team that was clearly still holding something in reserve. Brazil may have called the tune on the pitch, but the number -- and sheer volume -- of Chinese supporters in this impressive stadium drowned out its samba.
"This is a victory that strengthens the self-confidence, the spirit of the team," Brazilian striker Ronaldo said.
