Dunga says Brazil will need to approach the Olympics with caution, despite a favorable draw for the men's soccer competition.

Seeking its first Olympic gold medal in soccer, Brazil was placed with China, New Zealand and Belgium in Group C, considered by many to be one of the easiest.

Coach Dunga was not too upbeat, however.

"Everybody plays better when they face Brazil and that's going to happen again in the Olympics," the Brazilian coach said following Sunday's draw. "We need to prove our superiority on the field."

The Olympics is the only significant soccer title Brazil has never won. The Brazilians returned with the silver medal twice, in 1984 in Los Angeles and 1988 in Seoul, and the bronze in 1996 in Atlanta.
