Claudio Andre Taffarel believes Inter Milan goalkeeper Julio Cesar can go down as one of Brazil's greatest ever. Julio Cesar has firmly established himself as Dunga's first-choice for the World Cup and former Brazil No1 Taffarel says the Inter man will go down in history.

"Finally, the Brazilian national team has a player of great level in goal," said Taffarel. "I always follow with interest the progress of Julio Cesar on TV and I must say he is proving an excellent interpreter of the role.

"The defence of Brazil with him is in excellent hands, and if he continues like this, Julio will enter into the history books of Brazilian football."
