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).
Midfielders: Kleberson (Flamengo), Gilberto Silva (Panathinaikos), Julio Baptista (Roma), Ramires (Benfica), Felipe Melo (Fiorentina), Elano (Galatasaray), Kaka (Real Madrid), Josue (VfL Wolfsburg).

Living Ronaldinho and Adriano in your team indicate you are insane
As you see Germen team and Italy are achieved in world cup at least they reach in final because they always select well experienced and talented player just like Ronaldinho and Adriano. Unless Dunga has personal interest or problem with both players you shouldn’t eliminate them. Believe or not they are valuable for the team
Weak team!
No Pato? That’s curious! Does Dunga really want to score goals in case Fabiano get’s injured or is this some sinister intention to reduce the entertainment value of 2010 Wolrd Cup?
Brazilian team without Ronaldinho?:)))) This is horrible!!!
where adriano??but kaka will rock this year
where pato???
bring on whatever player- brazil will be crowned champion in south africa
i believe Dunga has the experience and the backing of those in charge of Brazilian football to know what he must do to win, i am sure he wants to win we can only wait to see whether his choices were the right ones.
sorry yeah buh its true, his squad should have dhino in it man, hes an amazing thing and he cud help them beat ronaldo
Happy to see it but if it were of 30 player squad that would have been better. Rolandinho could have been chosen for experience.look, he is a master player who can shine on big events. Still Dunga knows it well and we think this team has all the abilities and qualities to defeat all. God bless this team. We are hungry for another WC WIN Sadiq Bangladesh
kaka will best
Dunga is in deep trouble, just like 1998 when they left Romeo behind.Brazil offices and Dunga in particular are just choosing the player of their of their choice,but not the best.Well we see.
