Olympics harder than World Cup, says Dunga

SINGAPORE, July 27 (AFP): Securing a first Olympic title will be a tougher job than the World Cup, Brazil's coach Dunga said today, and insisted his young team was up to the task of football gold at the Beijing Games.
While Brazil have held the World Cup five times they have never won at the Olympics, but Dunga said his squad-including Ronaldinho-were coping well with the weight of expectation.
"To win (an) Olympic medal is a bit harder because we don't have much time to prepare," he told reporters in Singapore ahead of an exhibition match here Monday.
