Ronaldo was never going to be on the squad. No chance. Ronaldinho is another story. Neymar and Ganso are the one that I want to see. Dunga will still name a 7 players to the reserve squad. This squad could include the ones mentioned above plus...Adriano, Roberto Carlos, Diego, etc...
Giuseppe Rossi (aka B. Arnold) was named to Italy.
Yea, ronaldo is old and fat. He wasn't even on the radar.
Ronaldinho is past his prime, looks like a horse, and focuses all of his attention on making one or two spectacular plays a game without delivering like he used to.
Luca Toni got left off. I realize he is 30, but crap this is the same team that had Andrea Del Piero playing in 2006.

Neymar rocks. That kid is impressive. He is the star on this Santos team even with Robinho here. And Robinho is great. As a Santista I want Ganso too but I am a little biased.
Dunga might not pick these two since they is so young but it would be a mistake, especially with Neymar.

That's crazy not to have Toni on the team and it's Alessandro Del Piero, even though this is a thread about Brazil. We won't tell anyone though

Sorry. I wasn't thinking and I KNEW it didn't sound right. I was emailing some reservations to the tenants of the apartment we are renting in Italy and the dude's name is Andrea, that's why it was on my mind.
I'm surprised and saddened that I won't be able to see Ronaldinho play in the World Cup. I know he has been in a slump, but he's been improving.
I'm sure the coach knows better than me, but it's remarkable how quickly you can go from stud to scrub.

The word I am getting is Ganso will be on the team. Great news! [UPDATE: I heard wrong]
But Neymar will not be chosen by Dunga.
Que Pena!
This is why people in Brazil do not like Dunga. I heard some words that were not in my Portuguese vocabulary the last time I went to a Brazil National Game. The new words I was hearing was mainly directed to Dunga. The Argentine refs were also getting their fair share.

It is Brazil. Their second 11 could start for the US
Gonso might be going to Real Madrid towards end of this year.
Mr. Memphis, what a game last night! I was loving it! Good game for Robinho and a great way to go into the world cup training camp. I also love Wesley and have been singing his praises for awhile now. Vai Santos!
We get to see most of Brasil's defense in action Sat. in the champions league final. Three of the most important Brazilian defenders play for Inter Milan.

You need to go surfing with me soon. I am moving from here the middle of July and going back to Memphis for 10 months. When I return to Brazil I'll be in Curitiba.
Com toda a dívida, respeito falsificado, eu espero que Brasil é embaraçado neste copo. Can't stand Brazil. Hope they exit early. They probably won't, but I'll never forgive them for their dirty play in '94.

Maybe. Still doesn't change that I am disappointed at not being able to watch him play in the WC.
