PARIS (Reuters) - Brazil are not thinking about their defeats to the United States in previous Olympic women's soccer finals, coach Arthur Elias said ahead of Saturday's gold-medal clash with the four-time champions.

Brazil, twice silver medallists, will be seeking a maiden Olympic women's title at Parc des Princes where they take on the U.S., who beat them at the 2004 and 2008 Games finals.
