巴西隊在首都巴西利亞的馬內·加林查球場以5比0狂勝智利后，提前兩輪從南美區出線，這已經是足球王國巴西歷史上連續第18次闖進世界杯決賽，成為惟一一只從未缺席過任何一屆決賽的球隊。請看報道：
Brazil surged into the World Cup with a display of artful soccer that presents its coach with an enviable problem: Where to put so much talent?
Brazil's 5-0routof Chile on Sunday left the five-time world champions in second place in the South American qualifying group, one point behind Argentina but mathematically assured a berth in the 2006 Cup in Germany.
The victory was textbook soccer - with a touch of showtime - by a galaxy of rising stars and proven veterans that coach Carlos Alberto Parreira must mold into a cohesive unit. And he still must find a spot for striker Ronaldinho, FIFA's Player of the Year in 2004.
文中的rout意思是"大敗；潰敗"，例如：The battle/election was a complete and utter rout.（該戰爭/選舉是一次徹徹底底的大潰敗。）rout還可以用作動詞表示："擊潰"，如：The cavalry charge utterly routed the enemy.（騎兵的沖鋒徹底擊潰了敵人。）
