BERGISCH GLADBACH, Germany -- Brazil will have more on the line than a spot in the quarterfinals when it plays Ghana.

The defending champion could break several records in its second-round match Tuesday against the Africans in Dortmund.

Ronaldo could become the tournament's career leading scorer. Cafu could become the Brazilian player with most World Cup appearances. And Brazil has a chance to score its 200th goal, as well as increasing its winning streak to 11.

In addition, Carlos Alberto Parreira is set to move up on the list of most matches coached at the World Cup.

Ronaldo enters the game tied with Gerd Mueller of Germany with 14 goals. Another one on Tuesday would make him the sole record-holder. The Real Madrid player scored twice in Brazil's 4-1 victory against Japan on Thursday, surpassing Pele as Brazil's leading scorer in the competition.

"It's always nice to break records" Ronaldo said Sunday. "But our main goal will always be to win the World Cup."

After being rested by Parreira in the match against Japan, captain Cafu will likely be playing in his 19th World Cup match. The 36-year-old winger is currently even with Dunga and Claudio Taffarel with 18.

Germany's Lothar Matthaeus holds the overall record with 25 appearances from 1982 to 1998.

Cafu has a chance to break other records during the rest of the competition. He can become the first man to play in four finals, and the only captain to lift the trophy twice.

With 15 victories, Cafu already has won more World Cup matches than any other Brazilian, and has played a record 148 games for his country. He has lost only 19 times.

"It's fabulous," Cafu said. "I'm very proud of these numbers."

Brazil can reach goal No. 200 in World Cups on Tuesday. It needs to get on the board twice to earn the milestone.

Germany is next with 186. Brazil entered the competition with 191, adding seven in its first-stage victories over Croatia, Australia and Japan.

Brazil also can pick up its record 11th consecutive win in the competition. It came into the tournament even with Italy with seven victories.

If it hadn't allowed a goal to Japan last Thursday, Brazil could've had even another record. The goal ended the team's string of four straight World Cup shutouts. It could have equaled Italy's record in the 1990 World Cup, when the host Italians lost in the semifinals.

"The goal was a mistake from my defender," said Parreira, who is looking to break his own records.

Parreira, who led Brazil to its fourth world title in 1994 in the United States, will be coaching his 19th World Cup match, moving up to fourth place in the competition. He will be six matches short of the record held by Germany's Helmut Schoen from 1966 to 1978.

Parreira already has the record of coaching teams in five World Cups: with Kuwait in 1982, the United Arab Emirates in 1990, Saudi Arabia in 1998 and Brazil in 1994 and 2006. He is tied with Bora Milutinovic.

Parreira is trying to lead Brazil to its second consecutive title -- and sixth overall.
