Wtf, no Ronaldinho, Adriano, Pato, Chris, Marcelo, Alex.. some weird choices.
8 players over 30 in the squad, the 2 youngest are 23 & 25, I guess they're going for routine.

Cool to see Gomes there though, even if he probably doesn't get a match.. I'd like to see Sandro as well, but I guess he's too young yet.

Gilberto, Kleberson, Julio Baptista, Robinho, Nilmar & Gilberto Silva surely isn't better, and some of the other players I don't watch on a regular, so I can't tell..

Expect Argentina to make similar weird choices, Maradona is all over the place.

Other than Pato and maybe Diego from Juve I don't see a problem. Adriano & Ronaldinho are shit now. It's interesting, they don't have many star player like before but I think that they'll play more like a team this time around. Because their performance on WC 06 was same shit as Real, bunch os superstars but no team spirit.

Not so quick there.
I would agree not long ago, but Ronaldinho is rejuvenated now, he's assist leader in Italy, 16 assists and 13 goals this season. (In all competitions)
Brazilian media are saying that it's a "sensation" that Grafite was named instead of Adriano, who's scored 20 goals in 30 games, only in the Brazilian league, but still..

Alex is rock solid as well, plus he got a thunderous strike.. and I'm far from a Chelsea-fan.
Pato got 14 goals in 25 games, and is amongst the best prospects in Brazil.. injury prone though.

And don't even get me started on slow old ass Gilberto, instead of Marcelo, who can even double up as LB/LW - and chips in with both goals and assists.  ::)
Dunga & Gilberto are probably old chums.

Yeah Ronaldinho definitely still has the touch but he's slow as fuck and maybe he doesn't fit Dunga's vision. I got a feeling he is aiming for a fast paced cohesive team, where I don't see Ronaldinho. But maybe I'd still take him just because he can still decide a game with one touch.

Adriano is garbage for a few years now. He's big, clumsy and slow. He doesn't do shit by himself, he can't dribble, you literally have to do all the work for him.

Alex and Pato definitely agree with you.

Marcelo ? I'm a Real Madrid supporter for 10 years and I can tell you that Marcelo is a terrible, terrible player. How is he able to play in the starting line-up is beyond me. He's terrible and his defensive job and even his offense is not as good as people claim to be. He has some nice plays every now and then but he's inconsistent.

^^ Marcelo looks like Roberto Carlos mixed with Rivaldo, if you compare him to Gilberto.. who was a disaster in Tottenham, and made several game-changing errors.

I'm not impressed.

Apperantly they had the approach to not include whack players who solely live off their past or repetition, but then they nominate niggas like Robinho and Kaka who are pretty much exactly that.

No title for Brazil this time.

robinho has a played his best games with the national team, so its not a surprise.
this season has been a failure for kaka, but he can help the team more than ronaldinho.

p.s. the real JOKE is maradona and his wack roster

Is the Maradonna Roster out already?

I've been waiting for this. I'm sure it's funny as fuck

Kaka was injured a lot his year and his position in Real is different than Brazil. In Real every move goes through Ronaldo, Kaka is just following the current. But in Brazil he's the creator, which suits him better.

Dunga needs to get his act together. Jonathas Cristian de Jésus should replace one of the strikers.

He has basically gone from been absolutly awful to ok at times, it hardly warrants a place in the brazilian squad.

Obvously not as good as Kleberson either  ;D

If Brazil wants to win the world cup they need this man. Otherwise Holland will probably win the cup.
