SEOUL (Reuters) - Brazil coach Luiz Felipe Scolari warned South Korean fans not to expect too much Samba skill from his jet-lagged squad when the two World Cup finalists clash in a friendly in Seoul on Saturday.

"Since many were tired after 30-hour flight, we practised one day in an indoor pool and spent another day doing a light workout," Scolari told reporters in Seoul on Friday.
