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).

i am kamaal from bangladesh. i am mad fan of brazil but i am a little bit of displeased 4 not taking Ronaldinho in the worldcup squad.
east or west brazil is the best
Mr coach, you know the best for the team, and for the country, good luck and God Bless.
playing ron, adri or pato, is not going to make a difference, but their precence in the squad will definitely make a huge difference among all teams. mr coach requesting you to rethink, thanks n god bless, gud luck guys n to brazil to make it the six time.
yeahh, i love brazil but this line up is a little weird, hopefully it works out, dunga is a good coach and i hope he knows what hes doing
Before the selection of team members i was hopeful that i would have a exciting world cup show, But after the team selection of brazil i was devasted. With this team Brazil would no advance even to the quater finals. Last of all i wish that they would not qualify for the second round. Dunga this is not between you and Ronaldo or Ronaldihno, this is for the football and to the world. Keep your personal feeling aside, the world wants to see the Ronaldo and Ronaldhino. Tell me who is capable of taking place of Ronaldo and Ronaldhino in your current team. or you think that that rest of the other team is so weak that you can send some bunch of novice and win over them, if you think that way then you have a serious problem.
Ronaldinho we will miss you forever………. you are the star. Dunga will never achieve what you achieved. Go Dinho….
I completely agree with Raymond. With this team SA would be a nightmare for Brazil. Why is dunga being so careless with the selection. I have seen some matches of confideraton cup, there was nothing as brazil used to be. No magical moves no two and two team up and no striker. The only good point of this team is Julio Ceaser only. He is fantastic goal keeper. Rest of them is like a bunch of novice players who only wants to kick the ball. Just kick and kick and nothing else. The winning of confideration cup is not due to the talent of Brazilians players, it was only their luck and nothingelse. Dunga you have broken the hearts of millions and millions people.
I BELIEVE THAT THE CURRENT BRAZILIAN SQUAD IS ALSO A WINNING TEAM BUT I WOULD HAVE LOVE TO SEE RONALDINHO PERFORM SOME MAGICAL SKILLS ON THE FIELD FOR ME.HOWEVER, I BELIEVE KAKA AND ROBINHO WILL STILL ENTERTAIN ME SO I WISH RONALDINHO BETTER LUCK NEXT TIME.
BRAZIL BE WARE FOR MY DARLING COUNTRY GHANA IS ALSO FIGHTING FOR THE LUXURIOUS WC TROPHY AND THIS TIME AROUND NO MERCY FOR MY IDOL PLAYERSIN YOUR TEAM.
i was expecting ronaldinho in the squad
WHO SAY YOU, THAT YOY ARE THE BEST MANAGER…. WERE IS RONALDHINO, ADRIANO,
Brazil without Pato, Diego Ribas and Ronadinho, will be unable to FIFA World Cup Champion,? Not Dream for success!!
Ronaldinho is the best playmaker,
Diego ? He’s better against Elano or Baptista..
but, I really appreciate about to Dunga Decision
Ronaldinho commands both respect and funs.
am going to cancle my ticket becaus I going to South Africa to wacth Gaucho Ronadinho Doing his magic on the Ball. Pliz Help our team carry this Trophy Home.
Ronadinho can Help us Acheive this Dream.
Thank you Captain Dunga Our Coach for the Brazilian National team.
God Bless Brazil Come 2010, Amen.
The team is good but am not sure of the reason why Dunga left Ronaldinho.Brazil should not take the risk because it should win this trophy again
I m a great fan of Brazil. But This year Brazil has really a very bad team.
