338px-CBF_logo_svg Dunga has named his 23 man squad for next month’s World Cup. This will be the team what will attempt to bring the hexa home this summer:

Goalies: Julio Cesar, Gomes, Doni

Defense: Maicon, Dani Alves, Lucio, Juan, Luisao, Thiago Silva, Michel Bastos, Gilberto

Midfield: Kaka, Gilberto Silva, Felipe Melo, Elano, Ramires, Kleberson, Julio Baptista, Josue

Forward: Luis Fabiano, Robinho, Nilmar, Grafite

I will have more on this later today…


  • http://corinthians.theoffside.com/ Hector

    no surprises folks. Dunga is a man of his word. he does not let emotion interfere with his call-ups.

  • Maddd

    wtf, no ronaldinho? now time to support argentina !

  • http://brazil.worldcupblog.org Duvel

    No surprises is right Hector. Did your feed completely suck on Globo???

  • http://corinthians.theoffside.com/ Hector

    yes…it got cut off before he called up the players.

    I wonder how the Dinho fanboys will react to this. Also theres goes 99% of Santos, Sao Paulo rooting for Dunga in the world cup xDD

    Neymar and Ganso ads for nothing :D

  • Paul

    Man … I’m going to miss Ronaldinho …

  • jerman

    am not yet disturbed because dunga has not complete the list of his twenty three (23) man squad.

  • http://corinthians.theoffside.com/ Hector

    there goes Dinho’s international caree as well. he’ll be 34 by 2014.

  • http://corinthians.theoffside.com/ Hector

    Jerman…thats his list of 23 going to South Africa lol.

  • Paul

    Ronaldinho as a Super Sub???

  • jerman

    am not from Burundi as mentioned.am from Liberia. pls make correction.

  • peter

    he is sick!ronaldinho is the best brazilian player and he calls kaka because he is simply a good kid!they say only for dinho but kaka has to play well 3 years!media have done that!no dinho no party!worst mundial!

  • http://None Sean

    No Ronaldo Either ? very boring squad… the defenders seem to be more exiting than the attackers

  • jerman

    dunga, remember your football reputation. your decesion for not putting rolandinho on the team, in my opinion,is questionable.
    well, all is history. we wait to see.

  • anas

    Donga Go To Hell !!!!!
    Ronaldo must be in south africa
    Ronaldinheo also must be there.

    Really he is stupid

  • Paul

    Having Ronaldinho in the World Cup is the highlight of the whole tournament!!! Ronaldinho vs. Christiano Ronaldo … it does really sucks Dunga!!

  • RENARDO

    Damn Dunge we needed a few suprises,damn you!!

  • http://www.bives.net Bilal

    Well, I feel down, he didn’t even call up Pato, Nilmar is nothing comparing to Pato, I am sure Dunga knows more than i do, but i was expecting Ronaldinho & Pato to be called up, damm, Ronaldo is doing well in the League also, WTF!

  • Evaristo Avella

    I Hope Dunga doesn’t regret this! I am willing to forgive him if he brings home the world cup.

  • Paul

    If this current selection doesn’t make it to the Final … Dunga would be in real trouble!! And I hope not … I’m really disappointed at the very moment!!

  • Eric

    Dunga knows what he’s doing. He wants a star team, not a team of stars.

  • KG

    Bul Dunga, Kaka hasn’t been playing for a while, but included, why Ronaldinho is left out. m couting Brazilia out

  • sunny

    Dunga has made right choices, he knows what he is doing.but just wish pato was named. i am a great fan of Ronaldino, but watching his game he has become slow and lazy.and you dont really need that after all it is world cup we talking about.Ronaldo is doing much better and would also be nice if named,and would be his farewell game too since he is retiring.
    well maybe dunga can have ronaldino as a water boy.
    but all in all will not ditch Brazil no mater what the line up is.unlike some others. Good luck Brazil!

  • Samuel

    Fuck Dunga, this team can’t win shit. If Kaka gets injured we’re fucked!

  • Eric

    Ronaldinho was given a chance on more than one occassion and he never delivered.

    The current squad has done exceptionally well over the last couple of years. You can’t blame Dunga for sticking with the team that battered Argentina and Uruguay away from home, beat Italy twice and generally looked very confident.

  • Phillip

    Dunga u are a stupid person for not including Ronaldinho……When Kaka goes down with an injury you will regret putting baptista instead of Ronaldinho in the squad. Brazil better win or else DUNGA ES UN HIJO DE PUTA!!

  • Jose

    Julio Baptista ? WTF is up with this shit!! Dunga deff has something against Ronaldinho. Motherfucker

  • Jose

    Grafite? really, what the fuck has that guy or Baptista done all year… I’m disgusted! MARICON

  • Paul

    I’m hoping the rest of the team players can deliver goals instead of Kakå, Robinho etc. Sigh …

  • Kamron

    Not in the history of futbol has an active FIFA World Player been excluded from the world cup by his coach. Dunga has chosen unexperienced players in the offense to play in the world cup and none of them can do what Dinho can. It is sad to see Dunga involving his personal matters against Ronaldinho in the selection of his squad. We’ll miss you Dinho!!

  • http://corinthians.theoffside.com/ Hector

    Okay. from so far what I’ve read is…

    Wah wah wah No Dinho…cry baby this cry baby that…no Dinho blah.

    I understand yall want Dinho…but where do yall come off saying Ronaldo deserves a call up?? MAN Yall are screwed up. Ronaldo himself said he doesn’t deserve to go…the guy is past his prime and weight. DInho i can reason Ronaldo…yall are just pushing it.

  • http://corinthians.theoffside.com/ Hector

    Yea Luis Fabiano can’t score goals, even though he’s been doing it for Brazil for a while now. Only Robinho and Kaka can score yea…smh.

    We’ve won the ConfederationS Cup and Copa America without Dinho…Dinho has looked piss poor under Dunga. dunga made the right call…why do i need a whining “Super” Sub when I can have a sub who can do just as much and contribute just as much without complaining.

  • Paul

    Ronaldinho tried his utmost best to be part of this final team (and he really did so by his present performances) and I guess it still wasn’t enough to “impress” coach Dunga. I still think Dunga has a personal grudge against Ronaldinho … in what instances we’ll never know. I wonder if Dunga can sleep peacefully from tonight onwards … with ALL Ronaldinho fans invading his thoughts and sleep all night?

  • caoyujie

    we need Ronaldo!!!

  • http://www.follow5.com/ztyjy lIVE_mANLY

    WE NEED R9

  • Eric

    What was Dunga supposed to do? Drop the players who’ve won games for him and select a big-time flop like Ronaldinho who let the team down every time he was given a chance?

  • lasha

    the most terrible mistake. WC without ronaldinho is football without ball. dunga you are the greatest shit i have ever heard

  • caoyujie

    我们要罗纳尔多!!!

  • lasha

    i am sure it was personal issue against ronaldinho othervise who the fuck in the world can tell thet julio baptista or ramires is better then dinho?

  • Paul

    I’d highly doubt that Ronaldinho would whine and complain as he had worked very hard to fight for a spot in this team whereas on the previous selection it was almost automatic selection.

  • Eric

    Julio Cesar, Lucio, Maicon, Dani Alves, Kaka, Robinho and Luis Fabiano are the stars and the leaders of this team. They have delivered and won games for Brazil. They have both skill and character.

  • Anders

    It is a strong squad.
    Of course I wanted to see Ronaldo & Ronaldinho – but then again neiter of them is at their best anymore.

    I also wanted Neymar and Ganso, and Dunga should have tried them on against Ireland earlier this year.
    I agree that now there is a lot of pressure on Kaka.

    But I firmly believe that this team can win the World Cup!

  • jamal

    please call neymar and pato for the world cup don’t
    Be selfish dunga

  • http://corinthians.theoffside.com/ Hector

    No Dunga could not have tried Ganso or Neymar for Ireland, because Ganso nor Neymar were this good nor in the spotlight at that time.

    also to whomever said Ramires sucked or isn’t as good as Dinho your wrong…

    Ramires is better right now…Why? because he can track back with ease and is very versatile. he does a lot of the dirty work and is very useful on counters. he also is part of Benfica…The Champs of Portugal where he helped them gain the trophy over Porto.

  • Black Matt

    Oh well. I wanted a couple of players that aren’t on there, but I’m not too bothered. This team CAN win the World Cup, and I think along with Spain ARE the favorites. Ronaldinho would have been nice but we CAN win without him, and as a matter of fact I think we do!

    The big surprise for me is Grafite. Did not expect that. Thought for sure it would be Adriano or Hulk.

    Anyway, the team he’s named has seen us through thick and thin and have proved their worth over the last 3 years. They’ll prove it again.

  • http://20-minutes-of-life.blogspot.com My Heart is broken No Ronaldo you know just the presence me knowing he is there will motivate the youngsters. Anyways Good luck to A Seleçáo Clint Snyders all the way from South Africa. I have full cofidence in Brazils ability to win the World Cup
  • loveRonaldo

    Donga Go To Hell !!!!!
    Ronaldo must be in south africa
    Ronaldinheo also must be there.

    Really he is stupid

    by Chinese.

  • http://corinthians.theoffside.com/ Hector

    indeed. too many Ronaldinho fans,..not enough Brazil fans.

    Adriano left out for the number of practices he’s missed, and his issues off the field. smh I think when he missed the practice attended by Asst. Coach Jorginho, he lost his spot to Grafite.

    also Hulk’s has off field problems too, his ban probably killed his chance ontop of that he didn’t win the league with Porto.

  • Black Matt

    I agree with Hector. WAY too many of you are just fans of specific players and not the team.

    Open your eyes and see what this team has already done. Some people act like this team can’t play or something.

  • http://corinthians.theoffside.com/ Hector

    Im a Corinthians blogger…and I myself get frustrated with Ronaldo.

    I don’t think they’d love him if they were in my perdicament. :D

  • bikram

    shame dunga shame u may have something against ronaldo and ronaldinho but what have u against your home brazil ronaldo is full of expeirience and is a legand he deserves this world cup he really does even if brazil dont win you will ahve won the respect of your fans

    ronaldinho always trys alway does well and never gives up that is a kind of player you need bring them up dunga atleast bring upp ronaldo if u have respect for us and your home

  • Paul

    I think Ronaldo is past his prime as a total & dominating world class player. Plus he does look overweight too.

  • loveRonaldo

    I love Ronaldo so much!

  • Carlos Pirela

    Its not that we are ronaldinhos fans, its that we know what the players that dunga called are capable off, and NON, and i mean it, NON of them is capable of getting a crap team in third place of the italian leage, cuz what milan is, is a CRAP team,

    Did u even see ronaldinho performances against manchester united? against real madrid? have u seen the passes he has made the last month? is kaka capable of creating all the plays? CUZ SURELY robinho wont, and luis fabiano cannot do anything unless he receives the ball ready to score… nilmar? are you kidding me? BAPTISTA? a sub? GRAFITE? a player that last year made 28 goals, and now is only capable of scoring 11? :S

    If you want the best brazil team, open your eyes, and call the players that are in shape, not the ones that have Helped u before because some of them now are just out of shape and havent had a good season at all.

  • Vic

    I whole-heartedly agree with Hector. Ronaldinho just did not fit in the squad under Dunga, and anyone who disagrees only needs to refer to his performances with the Selection to confirm this. Most of the frustrated ‘fans’ don’t seem to care for the Selection as a whole, but rather for this or that player.

    Also, I too am a ‘corinthiano’, and I tell you guys: you do NOT want R9 in the team. He himself acknowledges this.

  • Vic

    “GRAFITE? a player that last year made 28 goals, and now is only capable of scoring 11? :S ”

    dude, we haven’t even reached the half of the year, that’s an unfair comparison.

  • Black Matt

    Is Kaka capable? Is this a joke? He’s been stellar for Brazil, and we all know what he’s capable of. Robino and Fabiano get the ball better from Kaka then they can from Ronaldinho. Nilmar scores in almost every match he plays in, what else do you want from the guy?

    I agree that Baptista should not be there, and Grafite is a surprise, but come on. I’ve heard a lot of Milan fans say lately that Ronaldinho hasn’t even been THAT good. He was in January, but not lately.

  • Carlos Pirela

    Man Grafite is in the Bundesliga,

    They are right now on the 34th date of the season….

    he played 30 games, and 3 of the 11 goals were penalties

  • Carlos Pirela

    HAVE U BEEN WATCHING THE GAMES?

    dont say u heard about it, unless you really know is true, go on youtube, watch the moves, watch the passes, tell me if anyone on the brazil squad is capable of that…

    and kaka? are u serius? have you watched madrid games? HES GOT PROB THE BEST SQUAD ON THE WORLD, and cant even have a good performance, Ronaldo will kill brasil without a doubt, hes way over kaka…

    Nilmar? 11 goals in thirty-something games? villarreal is not even in the europa league… and Robinho, a guy that left Man City to go to the Brazilian league? HE IS NOT EVEN THE STAR OF THE TEAM!,

    Luis Fabiano is the only forward on that team that deserves to go,

    And Diego deserves to go, a lot more than Felipe Melo…

  • http://www.bives.net Bilal

    This is the lineup i think Dunga will play in the world cup… Julio Cesar, Maicon, Lucio, Juan, Michel Bastos, Kaka, Gilberto Silva, Felipe Melo, Ramires, Luis Fabiano, Robinho… but still we need ronaldinho and pato

  • Black Matt

    You watch club matches but do you watch Brazil matches? Kaka plays better for Brazil than he does for Madrid, because he does not FIT in Madrid. In Madrid he is constantly starved for space, it’s a possession-team rather than an attacking team, it’s full of “stars” who all demand the ball and all want to score, and rather than being the leader, which is how he works best, Kaka basically has to subvert himself in favor of Cristiano Ronaldo.

    In Brazil, HE’S the leader, he has plenty of space to work in, and it’s a system that fits him perfectly.

    Diego has sucked for Brazil, Felipe Melo has not. Nilmar has played well for Brazil and always scores. Robinho didn’t fit in Man City, he does in Brazil, and you can see why considering he’s playing better for Santos.

    As for YouTube, hell, GRAFITE looks amazing on YouTube. It doesn’t tell anything even CLOSE to the whole picture.

  • Vic

    ^ this.

  • Carlos Pirela

    hahaha man you are just funny,

    dont compare the brazilian league with the premier league, robinho is good in the brazilian league as much as adriano or ronaldo are,

    how many ronaldinho videos can u find? how many grafite videos are there? just count them and see them, and then tell me whos better….

    Brazil is suposed to be a team of stars, not a team of guys that dont fit in their clubs,

    this brazil is going no where, just wait till dunga leaves, and you will see what brazil is about, like the one we saw on 2002…

  • Black Matt

    I never said Grafite was better than Ronaldinho. Obviously Ronaldinho is better. But YouTube videos mean nothing as far as who deserves to play in the World Cup.

    Brazil is not supposed to be a team of stars. It’s supposed to be a TEAM. And that’s what we are, and what we WEREN’T in 2006, when we WERE a team of stars.

    And you bring up 2002, but in 2002 it was Romario, not Ronaldinho everyone was screaming about. And that team was similarly written off by everyone. Because their star player in Ronaldo was hurt.

    Now we have Ronaldinho in the Romario role, and Kaka in the Ronaldo role, and the team is similarly being written off. Perhaps history will repeat itself, no?

  • Carlos Pirela

    you might have a bit of a point,

    what i dont get is how you can say that ronaldinho is better than grafite, and then just leave the better one out? isnt that worst for the team? i mean cuz the team should be composed of the best players…

    and a good coach will be the one that uses well all the best players, just like scolari did, but parreira couldnt on 2006, cuz that world cup was lost by parreira, not the team…

  • Kamron

    You’re right Oman. Kaka is currently lost. He goes under pressure in big games let alone World Cup pressure where he has never done anything at. Ronaldinho presence on the field is priceless. He is a player that could be quiet all game but when when the moment comes he’ll create something that will leave everyone in shock.

  • Paul

    Well after reading from FIFA website on Dunga’s decision to axe some players like Ronaldinho … “Playing your Heart out for the national team” is the “motto” so to say and once fulfilled it somehow guarantees one a better chance of being selected into the Brazilian team and if you don’t perform above par when given the opportunity then you’re as good as Gone!!

  • Black Matt

    Carlos Pirela -

    Understand, I want Ronaldinho on the team. I did not want Grafite. But I don’t think it will matter in the end. Ronaldinho was insurance. Kaka is the key, and the team as a whole is great. It’s built on TEAMWORK, and I think we excel at that. Especially considering most national teams are often disjointed since they don’t play together all that much, the fact that Brazilian players are pulled from more leagues worldwide than any other nation and yet we still have the chemistry we do just speaks volumes about our players and about Dunga. And that’s why I think we will win, even without Ronaldinho.

  • Eric

    The team is not just a sum of its parts. The fact is that Dunga has formed a core of the team and it has worked exceptionally well over the past couple of years.

    Don’t fix what ain’t broken, they say.

  • Paul

    Personal differences aside … we’re all in it to come together and witness Brazil win the 6th World Cup!!!

  • http://corinthians.theoffside.com/ Hector

    Carlos Pirela must be a Portuguese fan. This guy basically said E Brasileirao sucks smh.

    okay…now. Ronaldinho. Okay its great he does these moves and what not, pretty little “samba”, but the fact of the matter is he’s turned into a hit and miss type player. how many goals has he scored from open play?? and then tell me how many he’s scored from Penalties…the guy is not that impressive anymore. and yea ofcourse he’s going to have 14 assists…why?? well since he touched the ball every minute and sends in about 10-20 crosses a game.

    Understand yall are looking at how many times he’s succeeded, instead of the number of times he’s failed.

    And Nilmar is a beast. in 10 games for E Selecao he’s bagged 8 goals…and your telling me he doesn’t deserve to go…he’s scored against England, Oman, and a hattrick against Chile…and this is all in conescutive games he’s appeared in. Neymar did more than enough. he’s a very good player under Dunga.

    people are letting emotion override their though processes.

  • annonymous

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mpTG88kyhnc

    there you go hector, obviously you are talking out of your ass right now becasue i am telling you i have watched every milan game this year and he has been more then impressive, milan would not have finished in teh top 10 without him and he really accounted for more then 14 assists

  • Eric

    The strength of this team lies in its coherence and character. In fact, I don’t remember a Brazil team with so much character (and I’ve been following the Selecao since the 80’s).

    Brazil had never won a competitive game in Uruguay – not even with Pele, Zico, Romario or Rondaldo in the squad. The current fold went to Montevideo and tore them apart.

    Brazil had not won a competitive game in Argentina since… forever. Again, these guys went there and did the job.

    Oh, and they also gave the reigning world champions a spanking twice within a few months.

  • http://corinthians.theoffside.com/ Hector

    yes Eric, and yet we still need Dinho?? smh the logic.

    Im not watching youtube videos which SINGLE out his good moments and doesn’t show the whole panoramic view.

  • http://corinthians.theoffside.com/ Hector

    i put Neymar…I mean Nilmar :P

  • Eric

    Hector, my point is that we DON’T need Dinho.

  • Peter Sinclair

    Dunga, is the dumbest coach ever for not included Dhino on the world cup squad to South Africa. For that he deserve to be fired immediately. Ronaldinho is the best player at his position When his on the guy is deadly & untouchable. Remember Ronaldinho used to play with Xavi, Iniesta & Messi at Bacelona. The guy is a genius at what he does. Ivory Coast will kill Brasil. Portugal will eat Brasil alive, they’ll be lucky to get a point past N. Korea. Kaka, is sucks and shouldn’t be include on the squad along with some other players like Baptista, Ramires & Grafite.

  • Paul

    Painful memories of the Zico, Socrates era ….

  • http://corinthians.theoffside.com/ Hector

    Eric…it was sarcasm lol I know we don’t need Dinho.

    I’m just quoting what half this page said.

  • Black Matt

    You just lost all credibility as a football fan. That is the single dumbest post I have ever read. I’m astonished you even know how to spell any of those players’ names.

    Hector – I think Eric was AGREEING with us.

  • Black Matt

    I really wish this board had a quote function.

    The above post was for Peter Sinclair, obviously.

  • Eric

    Yes, Dunga should have called Ronaldinho, Ronaldo and Roberto Carlos. I believe Rivaldo still plays somewhere in Uzbekistan, so we could use him too. In fact, Dunga should step down and let Parreira take over :) ))

  • Carlos Pirela

    Man, dont talk about ronaldingo and his assist, cuz theyv been amazing, he could have had like 30 if he had good strikers as luis fabiano at milan, but no he has borrielo and inzaghi, also, he has a great connection with pato, unfortunately pato was injured a lot during this season, i would like to see nilmar playing as ronaldinho played the first game againts manchester, or even againts real madrid, where ronaldinho (when he wasnt as in shape as he is right now) played better than kaka…

    but wtv, its done, brazil probably has the worst selecao ever for a world cup, lets see how they do againts portugal…

  • http://corinthians.theoffside.com/ Hector

    I think half these posters don’t even know who won the Campeonato Brasiliense. :(

  • http://corinthians.theoffside.com/ Hector

    I can’t believe yall forgot how we gave Portugal a lesson in Brasilia without Dinho…6-2 ;)

  • Black Matt

    That “worst Selecao ever” whomped on Portugal the last time they played.

    Eric – Hell, let’s bring Romario back while we’re at it. I heard he still does charity matches. Dunga would be stupid not to, right?

  • Eric

    Black Matt:

    Yup, wonder what Bebeto’s up to these days…

  • Carlos Pirela

    haha man you are talking about the brazilian league.. wtv man, you are forgetting that is just not a qualifier, its the world cup, and most of this players have never had that kind of pressure on them, they dont even have the pressure of being a team leader, most of this platers arent even an important piece on their clubs :S….

    dont compare a friendly game with the world cup…

    and someone said something about beating uruguay and quelifying with a lot of points, in 2002 brazil barely made it to the world cup, and they won it…

  • george

    dunga should bring ronaldinho or he will b a stupied coach in da world

  • LUCIANO

    ***

    The Dunga tragedy has just begun.

    I can only imagine the other teams (coaches, players etc) celebrating that Ronaldinho is not on Dunga’s Selecinha.

    And they don’t even know how lucky they are that Ganso and Neymar are also not on the squad.

    Dunga is crushing a nation here.

    More: he is commiting a crime against football.

    More crimes will come.

    Just wait and see…

    ***

  • Guy Braz

    Dissappointing squad – though not too surprising. Team represents Dunga’s mentality. Defensive, boring football.
    The creativity of Brazil now centers on Kaka. But he has been injured for quite a while and his conditioning and form is questionable. If he is injured, Brazil’s chances go up in smoke.
    Expect predictable, boring football from this Brazil squad. Might make it to the second round but will definitely struggle to win the World Cup.
    Can’t wait for Leandro to take over and flair players like Pato, Neymar, Ganso et al form the new generation.

  • Verdade da Silva

    Dunga thinking is that he should call only those players who have been working with him since the beggining, but why the fucking hell he doesn’t give a chance for players who are currently playing brazillian championships, like Neymar and Ganso, 2 youngs that accomplished their objectives until and showed that they deserve to be in any World Cup team!

    Dunga says: Go to Europe and you will be in the “Cope”

    I think Dunga is not brazillian, he doesn’t care about brazillian teams, sad!

  • http://goal.com anon

    The reason that dunga wont include ronnie,pato,ronaldo,andriano,r.carlos. Is because he wants to show off some new players to make money, its buisness kids

  • http://switzerland.worldcupblog.org Adrian

    This is a joke! How can Doni be called ahead of Julio Sergio in GK?

    Julio Sergio usurped disaster Doni this season to be Roma’s #1, and has made put in some f**king good games! Doni was the reason for Roma’s Europa League exit, letting in fivw goals in about 15 minutes!

    What a disgrace!

  • http://Hotmail Toke

    Hey evry 1 the team has been picked now it’s time for the drums and samba to start and let the football world Selecao is on it’s way to pick up that sixth star to go with the other five on the jersey, yes I am disappointed that Dinho and a few others didn’t make it but hey Dunga has made his stance we support it because we want Brazil to win!!!! Hexacampeo !!!!!!

  • Zionson Eyo

    Hey guys, lets give Dunga a chance. Without Ronaldinho he won the Copa America in 2007 against a very impressive Argentine side. Still, without Ronaldinho, Brazil under Dunga retained their Confederations Cup title last year overcoming an American team that had showed fortitude against Spain and that was leading Brazil comfortably at the break.
    Let’s give him the benefit of doubt.
    Everyone criticised Scolari for not bringing Romario back in 2002 and instead bringing Ronaldinho. We all saw the outcome.
    Dunga won’t fail. Brazil won’t disappoint. The 2010 World Cup is Brazil’s!!!

  • naja

    zionson dont forget when scolari named ronaldo and leaved romario, ronaldo was an excellent player striker so we didn’t need romario ok romario was great but ronaldo replaced.but now luis fabiano,gravity,nilmar all of them were bad strikers,they didn’t give any thing on the ligua!!so we don’t have strikers payers to replaced ronaldo so ronaldinho is the key to makes fabiano get goals.

  • http://corinthians.theoffside.com/ Hector

    I hate how people are criticizing his style of futebol. does it matter if its boring, un”Samba”, no “joga bonito”. A win is a win. I rather win ugly than win pretty. period.

    Brazil is known for Winning.

    It would be so much easier to win if Brazil had a half-decent coach that could make the A-list players (Ronaldinho, Ganso, Neymar, Diego, Robinho) play together as a team (i.e., strong defense, creative midfield and fast attacking).

    Dunga was never able to do that.

    All that Dunga can do is like 1/3 of that. He can only have a strong deffense. The Dunga’s midfield and teh Dunga’s attack are full of B-list players that have almost none creativity and because of that Brazil will struggle to win.

    When it should be so f***in easy!

    And fun!

    Dunga just managed to kill all the fun in Brazil football!

    It is all so very sad!

    I wish brazil loose on the group stages for their foolishness.

  • arsenal fan

    the attacking options seem lightweight.many have been out of form like kk

  • star_bury

    I like how everyone jumps to conclusions long before any games have been played. How about you give Dunga a chance since he’s the one who’s being paid to spend his days watching each player’s games… He may know a thing or two that we don’t. Being a couch coach is very easy. Who’s to say that with Dinho and Pato they would get crushed? Pato did eff all in the U-20s a few years back…

  • Miklo

    I think Dunga has made a big mistake. Ronaldinho can play much better than some of the players he put in his squad, i could not understand why Dino has to be left out from the Brazilian squad. I think Dunga is a fool. How can your kids walk along in dangerous zones? ha! you need a trusted fellow to lead them or a someone who knows the place well to lead. My goodness, i think the Brazilian squad cannot go without Dino. I don’t know what you Dunga thik, i guess you have some ill feelings for Dino that’s why you left him out from your squad.Your time for play is over, let Dino make use of his time. Maybe youre looking for immortal beings to join your squad. I don’t see any problem with Dino. Dunga why….why….why…did Dino has to be left out?

    pls, dunga go 2 d world cup wit ronaldinho he wil b of good help 2 brazil , 4 win d world cup.pls, even if u don’t want 2 use him go wit him u wil need him pls and p

  • 1Nil

    I am speechless and dont even know where to begin to pick the Amarelinha apart. Many have already touched on the issue at hand. Too defensive and not enough attacking options. Dunga & his selectors are making too many high risk bets. What if Kaka is not healthy? Who is the midfield creator? How many chances does Luis Fabiano need before he scores? What on earth does Julio Baptista add as far as versatility to the other players selected? Lots of question marks. One thing we do know, Brasil is going to struggle to create chances from open play against every team not named N.Korea. Second thing we know is that they will not give up a lot of goals. This is a sad Esquadrão de Ouro. aybe it all works in the end of the day, but it will not be enjoyable to watch.

  • cesinco

    Dunga’s squad is too old, uncreative in the midfield (should Kaka get injured or red-carded) and while Grafite may be playing some nice football in Germany, I’m not sure how much playing time he will get. For second stringers, my wish was to see Ganso (paired with Robinho as Santos teammates) instead of the useless Kleberson, and finish that up with Neymar (who surely deserves a chance even if it’s just to warm the bench). Or if not Ganso, Phillipe Coutinho would add some creative spark in the midfield. And if DUnga wanted someone more defensive-minded when he picked Kleberson, what’s wrong with Lucas?

    I might have put Marcelo ahead of Michel Bastos, but he may still get his chance as one of the 7 subs.

  • javi

    how can dunga leave experienced and great players like r.carlos, ronaldinho, and the king of kings the unarguably the best striker in the world “RONALDO” beacause of them people of different countries loved brazil more than anything ,even if they were out of form their skills and experiances and their strength was more than enough to win the worldcup this time single handedly . iam completely dishearten ,i will not watch worldcup as these were dear to me and ronaldo is a god of football in our generation. dunga dint call him ,ronaldo worked very hard and came back but they dint even pay attention to it.i pray brazil loses this time then their senses will come back. i am really very sad for ronaldo as this was the final chance for the legend to play for his country for the last time and they decieved him ,a sad goodbye to ronaldo from the football world and from his millions and millions of fans

    it is too late now

  • Ahmed

    I believe it is too late for any changes
    and hardly Dunga will change the list since
    he has come to the above list after four years
    and fully decided the players …
    the only thing that can be done is
    watch the WC and what happens
    good luck

  • jeffrey

    hey Dunga!
    what the FUCK are you doing? no Ronaldinho, Adriano and Pato? You must be joking Dunga!! You know what the FUCK are you doing or what? i don’t think so you know what the FUCK are you doing? listen Dunga if you want to win world cup 2010 you must put Ronaldinho, Adriano and Pato coz they are good player and I’ve seen them play before. ok. You must change Kleberson out for Ronaldinho, Grafite out for Adriano and Nilmar out for Pato now. if you still don’t know what the FUCK are you doing, STEP DOWN and let another person take over. Ok Dunga. This is the fucking worst brazil squad. YOU FUCKING STUPID Dunga!!!

  • justin

    mr dunga
    i am india please sir give me chance we all faverat ronaldinho

  • Sajan

    I think Ronaldinho and ronaldo should be in the team for the world cup to win the cup.

  • Rooney-is-d-best

    Shit, Brazil aint gonna win it this year. They got very very solid defencive line and walls at Goal Keeping! But in midfield no one stands out! Kaka has been hotrrible this season!Luis Fabiano and Robinho are OK, but not the usual Brazil flair! Where the hell is Pato (unless he’s injured I don’t know), Ronaldinho?! he is regaining somewhat his glory day in the last gasps of his career.

  • Musa

    i am very pleased with dunga’s decision for left ronaldinho out of the squad …but selection of other players is so poor. There is not a single player in the squad who can turn the match out toward their favour himself…i’m very dissapointed about the team..and very muck in a fix that the team realy can do well in the upcoming world cup..

  • Afsal

    what a fucking taem was dunga published…Kleberson instead 4 ronaldinho??hu is dis kleberson??playing in any European league??im chekin yu tube 2 watch any skills 4 kleberson but i ddnt find anything..Bapista instead 4 Diego??Bapista have no chance in Roma s first eleven he is great person 4 fighting not 4 playing football…i think dunga have some mental problum consulting him 4 cycatrist as soon as possible..

  • BULDAN BELOZOGLU

    ronaldo is a World Cup specialist player, give ronaldo a chance to make a winning goal for Brazil, and created history, because ronaldo is still able to do it

    plz dunga we all waitng rhonaldinho plzzzzzz because he is the team he is the key of goals plz dunga plzz

  • kodet robert a

    DUNGA, you would have consulted the whole world before you disapointed them. the reason most people are travelling to south Africa is to watch RONALDINHO playing the football of passion.whatyou have just done is the worst anyone can do.you are thinking irrationally.

  • Ochaya L Patrick

    For such a creative player not featuring in the world’s most watched tournament is very ubsurd not seeing Ronaldinho being part of the Brazilian team.I think this very crucial mistake that may cost Brazil dearl. Dunga dont disappoint the support people have for Brazil please try to be a little bit considerate for the sake of Brazil’s success you need team players like Ronaldinho,Ronaldo,among others

  • Africa

    Dunga is a good man but not a good coach.The likes of Pato,Dino,Adriano,Diego should be included. Elano,Kleberson,josue and Grafite don’t deserve a plane ticket to Africa.Dunga must know,he only has only this chance to prove himself worthy of leading Brazil.

  • Vic

    To all the people saying that Brazil plays ugly football:

    PLEASE WATCH THE SECOND GOAL AGAINST IRELAND. i rest my case.

  • Somerton

    I love brasil more than any other squad in the world, that’s why i want to watch the 2010 world cup in south africa. But in dunga’s selection, i think many people accross the globe disappointed. Who are those guys? Excluding ronaldinho and other veterans in the squad won’t help brazil clinching their 6th championship. How will dunga can handle the squad with this line up? Maybe dunga should think wisely before he will select his players. Tsk tsk tsk.. It’s a sad day for the brazil team supporters including me.

  • Adima Chika

    To my own opinion, i think Ronaldinho deserves to be in the team considering his recent form!

    My response for MARADROGAS stupid world cup, squad list. You have to be a real clown to fuck up that way! I wrote my response in an argentine blog where most agreed that Diego’s list proves he is still doing drugs. This would have been my choice of ARGENTINA team, to send to south africa. Notice that I left out Tevez,Lavezzi, Aguero,Palermo. Argentina has so much fire power, they could lend any of these to Brazil and still win the world cup.Brazik is very lucky that Maradona is CRAZY.

    1st squad:

    GK: Romero

    DEF: Zanetti, Samuel, Demichelis, Insua

    MID: Mascherano, Cambiaso, aimar, Dimaria

    STR: Milito, Saviola

    Club teams: Inter(Milito, Cambiaso, Zanetti, Samuel) Benfica(Saviola, Aimar, Dimaria) Liverpool(Mascherano, Insua) BayernMunich(Demichelis)

    2nd squad:

    GK: Carrizo

    DEF: Otamendi, Burdisso, Milito, Heinze

    MID: Messi, Gago, Gonzalez, Delgado

    STR: Higuain, Lopez

    Club teams: Real Madrid(Higuain, Gago) Olympic Lyon(Lopez, Delgado)Barcelona(Messi, Milito) Olympic Marseille( Gonzalez, Heinze) Roma(Burdiso) Velez Sarsfield( Otamendi)

    DUNGA must be crazy.why leaving Ronaldinho behind? Mr Blatter did justice by bringing the world cup to Africa for the first time and all we[AFRICANS] wanted to see is Brazil with Dinho. We are greatly disappointed. who doesnt love Dinho? The germans spaniards italians eglish argentines and the entire africa will admit that the samba Dinho boy is juss magic. well good luck Dunga but if you dont bring the cup home i question your future with the samba boyz

  • roberto

    RONALDINHO toaday scored two beautiful goals for Milan vs Juventus in an outstanding match in which he was named Man of the Match.
    When SKY SPORTS asked him how he felt about not being named in the Brazil 23 Man Squad he replied”I don’t want
    to compare what I have done with what has been achieved by others this season. I respect the decisions of the coach and ultimately it is he who chooses who should represent the country at the World Cup”. What an intelligent and classy answer.Dunga could learn a thing or two from that

    listen Dunga if you want to win world cup 2010 you must put Ronaldinho, Adriano, Pato and Ronaldo in the 23 man squad coz they are good player and I’ve seen them play before.

    How could you put Kleberson, Grafite, Nilmar and Michel Bastos in 23 man squad? they’re FUCKING shit player. TAKE THEM OFF.

  • noel Matorere

    Mr Dunga you have lost the plot.Kaka 1s walking injured.Who will distribute the ball when you left Dinho.You need Marcelo to attack on the left flank when chips are down.Surely PATO is a better striker than the other three except Fabiano.Remeris will not score a goal at the world cup but he will cover a lot of ground for you.You have excess baggage in the form of Baptista,Cleberson,Doni and Graffite.You have also over looked Alex and DIEGO ALVES.You should thank the gods if you pass the group stage with your very stiff squard.I love samba boys with all my heart but hey this time Dunga you have let us down.

    Soccer is dynamic,just because you were great 4 yrs ago doesn’t guarantee u a place in the team nw.Dunga was right,he chose the best for the moment and unfortunately Dinho ain’t part of that.

  • Mae

    This is all over the news

    “Kaka, who missed Sunday’s La Liga game at Malaga with a hamstring problem, said he would spend four days at Brazilian club Sao Paulo for physical reconditioning before Brazil assemble for a pre-World Cup training camp on Friday in Curitiba.
    “I’m going to Sao Paulo to be evaluated, they will see my condition and that I won’t have any problems,” he told reporters.
    “I will be 100 percent by the World Cup,” added Kaka who was also sidelined for six weeks in March and April.

    Go ahead, and enjoy your stint at the WC for it will be your last…

  • Maia

    Can someone enlighten me as to why Kaka and Fabiano made it to the 23 list. At the time of the announcement, both players are injured…

  • Ahmed

    Maia
    This depends on the extent of the injury
    Their injuries were not that serious to stop them from playing

    It is natural that the coach follows the case of players with their doctors as well as the players

    It is unreasonable that a coach will select a player that cnnot play due to his injury and take that risk with his team

  • http://Yahoomail Sadiq bangladesh

    Kaka Fabiano both have the ability to score goals it had been proved in th COPA when they destroyed Argentina . . 4 versus 1.Their injury is not so serious to exclude them. . It would ignite the supporters.

    Hey Everybody,
    We’re from Brazil and we have been following Ronaldo’s games. He has not been playing as well as you think. Some of us believe that Ronaldinho should have been listed. Others think that Pato, Neymar and Ganso should have a chance to play this World Cup. However we all agree that Ramires and Josué don’t deserve to be among the 23.
    Still, we believe Brazil’s got a chance to win.

  • zee

    where is the “fenomen” RONALDO RONALDO!!!!

  • MaRo

    you seem to forget that dunga has never lost a fifa competition so i am guessing he knows what he is doing better than all of you guys or they wouldn’t have made him coach. i wanted ronaldinho to be one of the starting 23 but if the coach doesn’t think he should be then i support the coach’s decision!

  • Akoe

    I think its about JEALOUSY !!!!
    The CBF already made a huge mistake by hired Dunga as the Brazil coach!!
    I have no idea about Kleberson, Julio Baptista, Josue and Nilmar.
    They are not compare to Ronaldinho, Pato, Adriano and Ronaldo !!

    If Dunga still put his ego, Brazil can forget to win this worldcup for sure!!!

  • Isabella Lima

    I’m a big time Ronaldinho and Ronaldo fan, but as a pretty serious athlete myself I’ve gotta say the coaches usually know best. Well, not always but in this situation I trust Dunga. He obviously wants to win and he knows what he is doing. It is what it is, so let’s accept that this is the 23 and support our team!

  • oyegade sunday

    I am writing from nigeria. I think Dunga’s team lacks quality attackers. Only fabiano is in the class of the messis and torres! I belief ronaldinho and pato should be included if brazil wants to go beyond first round. The world cup is not thesame as confedration cup.

  • Aleogho Paul

    I am writing from London, i sincerely do not see Brazil going past the second round and that is if they make it out of the group stage. This is the worst brazilian squad i have ever seen…

    Julio Babtista is never near the quality of Ronaldinho as Nilmar is not the quality of Pato. Brazil has neither shown real quality in their qualifying matches nor in their friendly matches… yes they got the results and Mourinho fans would say that is all that matters, but Mourinho teams always seem to win confidently which the Brazil of today seems to struggle with.

    Portugal is not going to be an easy team for Brazil to defeat and i believe that Ivory Coast playing on African soil would spoil the party for the samba boys.

    Shame perhaps… but this team are never going to thrill us anyway!

  • Ali Ataei

    I’m a fan from Afghanistan
    it’s a shame names like Pato, Ronaldinho and some better qualified players are not included.

    instead, Ramires, Kleberson, Julio Baptista and Josue are going to form the worst Brazilian squad ever.

By far Ronaldhino still remains the world’s most skillful player. Dunga just dug his own grave by omitting this artistic talent. No player has so much abundance of skills today since the days of Denilson. I hope Dunga has done his home work correctly

    i am a big supporter of the brazilian team and i think without a guy like ronaldhino then something i really wrong with Dunga. Its like he is bias he is a important guy in this squad

    Hi, what happened to adriano and Ronaldhino… I think that with Ronaldhino in the Midfield with his passing and dribbling abilities he can make way for alot of entertainment and goals.

    BRAZIL 2010? NO CHANCE!

  • Jans@Vanuatu

    i am a big fan from Vanuatu n i know Dunga knows what he is doing. Brazil will make it to the second round and will pass the semi final

  • Rahul Das

    Hm itz ok every body knows that brazil will own this world cup bocz Dunga is part of the team but itz a real mess up by the selectors, not selecting Adriano and last not the least Ronaldhino. I belive brazilian selected has the forget his presence in the field..

    brasil stupid and crszy

  • catur

    i want ronaldo..
    Ronaldo is the best..

  • Wilson

    I think Ronaldinho should included in the squad. He is the best player and entertainer with his skills.

    Dunga should select Ronaldiho because he is the player that the world and supporter want to see.

    Dunga make a right choice to win the world cup…..
    incude Ronaldinho.

  • Dhil se

    We r eagerly waiting for Ronaldiho to rock the world cup…. not selecting him is very disappointing ….

  • yogesh

    Brazil For World Cup 2010 from Scotland, If we haven’t qualified, f&*k England.

    Always had a bit Brazil fan inside me(Lol Dosen’t sound right)

    Bit disappointed ronaldinho is left out. Glad to see dani alves, Especially glad to see Elano in the time.

  • ab

    forget ronaldinho….why pele is not playing…shocking!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Chetan 0101

    The squad looks good am sure Dunga picked the squad based on the style and technical ability of players in sync with his game plan for the WC, however we may not see to much flair and magic that we associate with a team from Brazil. Personally I would have liked to see Pato included.

  • Mia

    Why the double standard? Kaka asked to be excused form Copa America as well. Dunga has given him chances after chances considering his crappy year at Real Madrid. It is so obvious, it's payback time for Dunga. He can't let go of the fact Ronaldinho made him look like a fool some 10 years ago……..

  • Brazil Sucks at Soccer

    i love how your probably not brazilian and you probably dont play soccer but you like brazil because they are the “best” they will get destroyed by spain, netherlands, or germany… i cant wait

  • Laurenshaw62

    i am a brazil fan, i think that ronaldinho should have been selected b'cos he is the best footballer in the world and he is the one that bought magic and skill into football, he is the one we all wanted to see and the 2010 world cup. DUNGA MADE AND SHOCKING DECISION NOT SELECTING RONALDINHO, THIS WILL COST US THE WORLD CUP !!!!!!!

  • Ronan

    ur right dunga is abit stupid not including ronaldino!!!!
