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).

World cup without ronaldinho
I didn’t even cry this much when my wife left me! Brazil cannot win without Ronaldinho! This is the worst team ever!!! I HATE DUNGA! He sucks!
i had really liked Brazil but i cannot understand why Dunga has not selected Ronaldinho and Marcelo… i do not think Adriano is in form. As a result i would be supporting Spain for the World Cup and i think Dunga should be replaced as coach. Who the hell is Grafite any way?
When Romario was left out in 1998 Brazil failed to win the finals… Ronaldinho is in form, experienced and has never flopped on the world stage. I believe Dunga should include him before its too late, he is a tremenudous asset to the team and he is injury free. Come on DUNGA!!
I decided to buy flat tv for the world cup in S. Africa 2010, however , I dismissed this idea if greatest soccer player, better than Pele , Maradona, that Rolandinho will not play , am gifted soccer player befor fifty years ago I watch Pele , Poshcash , Maradona all the players during my time no one could come near him , tell me please how that could come in our world .
The best player in the history of the Soccer Rolandinho will not play at the World Cup 2010/ South Africa whom am going to watch in this game it crime that he shall not be the one in Brazil team .
where is Ronaldo and Ronaldinho,fact when it comes to the world cup,Ronaldo shines as well as Ronaldinho,Brazil wil loose ,thanks to dunga ,or dungo what ever his names is
Coach Dunga is going no where with this squad without players like Dinho Pato n Marcelo
seens Dunga is panning to lose at all costs-its the worst team selection for Brasil ever!
Terrible squad while without Pato, Ronaldinho & Marcelo. I’m sure that amount of supporters would be cut down for this world cup 2010. Ain’t going to watch them anyway since it was a terrible squad.
All brazil stars are not there .This is areally bad selection from the coach.pato Ronaldinho must be there
All brazil stars are not there .This is areally bad selection from the coach.
If brasil cannot reach the final the only fault should be the team selection by dunga.
Ronaldinho, & Pato should be on the squad please.
Where is Ronaldinho? Brazil still needs his gifted expertise. Dunga will surely regret drooping the maestro!
