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).

man this is the silliest squad brazil has ever come up with dinho, pato, marcelo wtf dunga u need better players
i am a Brazilian fan, love the team to the born, i do not understant why Dunga would leave the Brazilian Architect of football, Ronaldhino.
thats what i call abuse of power, Ronaldhino is the man, without him Brazil will not be recognized, Christian Ronaldo, Roone, Kaka are there, why not Him.
Where are Ronaldo,Ronaldino,Adriano?I am not satisfied with your team selection.
Missing my fav. luiz Ronaldo (the Phenomenon)
include ronaldinho and adriano or ronaldo is a best team
Ronaldhinio was a must he put’s on a real show to watch. Surely he is a class player too he should have been in the squad!!
GOAL KEEPER DIDA is old now , but julio caesar is perfect, well argentinian team is also fucked up but i am am anti ARG fan, i want to watch good football in this world cup !!!
well,i think this squad i strong but it lacks of some few basic player like Ronaldinho,Macerlo and Minero.But i wish the team a good luck.
