Brazil has announced their world cup squad for the FIFA 2010 World Cup in South Africa.
Brazil and AC Milan star Ronaldhino shocks fans with weight problem
The five time winners of the biggest competition in, international sports have named their 23 man squad which will be competing in the FIFA 2010 World Cup South Africa.
The biggest surprise by the Brazil manager, Dunga, former Brazilian World Cup winner in the 1994 World Cup held in the United States, was that Ronaldinho was left out of the squad.
The Two-time world player of the year, Ronaldinho and Adriano were both left out of the World Cup squad.
Another interesting choice by the manager of Italian and German descent is that rather then choosing an official squad of 30 players and then dropping to 23, Dunga has chosen his 23-man squad right away.
Dunga has been head coach of the Brazilian National Side since July 2006 with a very impressive record with the national team as he has won 45 games out of 63 games which he has managed.
Ronaldinho and Adriano, the former Inter Milan star will now only take part in the competition watched by billions around the world only if there is an injury in the squad.
A surprise selection by Dunga has been, former Manchester United and Besiktas attacking midfielder José Kleberson who is currently playing for Brazilian side Flamengo.
Bellow is the 23 man squad of the Brazilian National team which will compete in the FIFA 2010 World Cup in South Africa.
Goalkeepers: Julio Cesar (Inter Milan), Doni (AS Roma), Gomes (Tottenham Hotspur)
Defenders: Maicon (Inter Milan), Luisao (Benfica), Michel Bastos (Olympique Lyon), Daniel Alves (Barcelona), Thiago Silva (AC Milan), Gilberto (Cruzeiro), Lucio (Inter Milan), Juan (AS Roma).

brazil always in my heart
dunga’s poor selection of players was exposed today. It was an sad day for Brazilian football when you cannot find a midfielder to replace Elano. Brazil lost the game i did see any thing from the Dutch. Many true lovers of the game, while disappointed would not be too sad.
If Dunga had won with this team and style he would go a great way in killing the beautiful game that has attracted the entire world.
Football needs a great Brazilian side not just a side to win the world cup. People pay watch Brazil even if they are going to loose. They are expected to give the fans a treat.
i think that my side brazil is playing wonderful i think that we a go beat the netherland by 3-0 the next game ok. only thing me never like is that dunga left Ronaldinho but from mi a watch world cup for 1999 a brazil me say. later
ARE DUNGA TUMKO COUCH KISNE BANAYA RE.JAB TUMHE ACCHE BURE KI PEHCHAN NAHI HAI.RONALDO AUR RONALDHINO KE BINA BRAZIL FINAL BHI NAHI JAYEEGI.
I CANT BELIEVE THAT DUNGA LEFT OFF THE TWO BIGGEST STARS FOR BRAZIL(RONALDINHO AND RONALDO).I WONDER IF HE KNOWS THAT IT IS FOR RONALDINHO WHY BRAZIL HAVE WON SO MANY WORLD CUPS WITH THOSE WONDERFUL CROSSES NOT TO MENTIONED THE FABULOUS GOALS…OMG
dinyo not in team bt still brazil is shinin.dont get me wrong pipo dunga has made the biggest mistake of his life.at the moment they are playing small teams dats why they are on top.neverthless im a big fan of brazil.let me guess er1 cant wait for brazil to meet spain rite
I thought Brazil will not win this world cup because there top four players who left out the squad Brazil team FIFA 2010. It should be Argentina.
another satisfying performance from the most loved team in the world. great goals from Fabiano,. A little more confidence from Kaka, the world cup will be going to Brazil.
Dunga has mad probablhy the biggest mistake in Brazil’s foootalling history by not selecting Ronaldinho. I can only explain it like this “stupid is as stupid does”. I certainly don’t expect Brazil to win the World Cup
where is pato give our answer<this time brasil no any chances
What happened to our favourite player ,ronaldinho and adriano?Why their coach dunga being hero
