Dunga, fairly or not, is feeling the heat for the Selecao’s performances the last couple of matches. He decided to make some changes for the next two qualifiers. The most obvious move was replacing Ronaldinho for Kaka. The two AC Milan playmakers seem to be meshing well after their performance in the Rossoneri’s 1-0 win over Inter on Sunday’s Derby Della Madollina but when wearing Brazil’s famous yellow shirt it has not worked. The move to include Inter’s Amantino Mancini was long overdue and the excitement of his 1st appearance for Brazil could energize the team.
Brazil faces Venezuela in San Cristobal on October 12 then hosts Colombia in Rio three days later.

Hulk deserves to be in there at least on the bench. diego as well
wat happened to Ronaldinho he deserves to be there more than anyone else out there. y cant dunga have both kaka and ronaldinho. personally it’s not a world cup w/out him. Dunga made a bad decision.

BRAZIL IS ONE OF THE BEST INTERNATIONAL TEAMS IN THE WORLD THEY HUV A GREAT CHANCE OF WINNING IT
WTF WHERE IS RONALDO AND RONALDINHO?
Ronaldo is an unbelievable forward that Brazil NEEDS. Without him it just won’t be the same.
And Ronaldinho….Seriously, what the hell? Still the best midfielder in Brazil in my opinion.
THEY’RE FUCKING LEGENDS, WHAT THE FUCK IS THIISSSSSS.
was up with ronaldo, ronaldinho and o yaw is crazy not putting them to play they are the best player in in world …ronaldo the king and ronaldinho the moves make people look stupid ,,,dunga messing up

Brazil would be Perfect! if they had-
GK-Dida,Julio cesar
Def-Lucio,Juan,Roberto carlos,Cafu
Mid-Ronaldinho,Kaka,Diego and Julio baptista
Forwards-Ronaldo,Robinho,Adriano and Luis Fabiano and Vagner love
wow..you guys clearly know nothing about soccer…most of you atleast….TONALDOS IS RETIRED!!HES FAT AND HAS HAD NUMEROUS SERGURIES ON HIS KNEE..FABIANO AND ROBINHO ARE YOUNG AND TOP OF THEIR CLASS!
DIDAA!!
dud that guy hasnt even been playing for his club lately..ff form..plus julio baptista is pushing buffon out of the number one goalie spot.
i love ronaldinho and i think he should be on the bench…but he tohas been off form and skipped pratices only to be caught in a hotel with shitload of alchohol and bitches..nnd hes mariied(i dont blame him:)
and cafu is also retired and maicon is in a different class at this point.
their team is as fallows Julio cesar,maicon,lucio,juan(preferluisao),danialves,diego,josue,marcelo(preferronaldinho),kaka,luisfabiano,robinho
LEAARN SOMETHING!
btw i meant FUTEBOL!!
As long as they have Luis Fabiano, Robinho, and Kaka workin together THEY CAN WIN IT ALL
i agree wit Dungas decision about ronaldinho he doesn’t deserve to play in the cup. but im not so sure about ronaldo..
What the hell happened to ronaldo!?!
I think they could have made a better roster
roberto carlos and adriano should be on there.. that is HUGE mistake to learn them out.. I can understand Ronaldo because he is old.. but Carlos and adriano??? wow…
Also, no Ronaldinho? I mean… the kid has a bad first world cup but to not give him a chance 2nd time around? i think how well they fair with this roster will determine if this coach returns….
I would have had 2 of the following on this team: Pato, Diego, Ronaldinho, Adriano – that’s alot of established stars being left off. BTW – what’s with the Ronaldo comments – he was borderline in 2006, he’s up to about 250 lbs at this point!!!
Dunga what are you thinking!! You need Roberto Carlos, Ronaldo, Ronaldinho and Adriano. Your making a big mistake by not putting them on the team. I hope you realize what you are doing.
first of all. There is no way they are gonna play Ronaldo, the motha fucka is way to old, you guys are crazy if you think he is good enough to play for the World Cup squad. Hes fat, slow, and did nothing for Brazil in 2006, he should retire. And Ronaldinho, I have no clue why Dunga didn’t put him in, I mean i can understand that he hasnt showed much in the past months, but I think he would show more for his country in the world cup. I still favor Brazil because they still have a great team. kaka, and robinho especially, Go USA!
ALRIGHT YALL READ THIS…..ROnaldo is really out of shape i wont have him either..ROBERTO CARLOS is retired people..ronaldinho and pato should had been putting on the roaster.i think its a lil dumb having julio batista but not ronaldinho…batista is not faster than dinho or not as good as player maker as him..wat if kaka gets hurt?????? who gonna be there?? ronaldinho not in the roaster..dumb decsion by dunga..i been brazilian fan since 5 years old..im 22 years old now…i would made better roaster than this dumbass dunga..oh well see wat happens..my love and respect.BRAZIL!!!!
do you honestly think that brazil the best footballing country in the world would make a bad decision about their roster for the WORLD CUP? NO, ronaldo, ronaldinho and roberto carlos were left out for reasons. there is plenty of other skill in brazil
i m great fan of brazil football. i m very upset for not including RONALDO and RONALDINHO in world cup 2010. they r gerat player and brazil will fill their absence in world cup.
urm dunga is going for a safe but at the same time a risky dicision by not atleast having ronaldinho as a sub. but dunga sed he is picking different players so others in the WC dont know much about them. that means they wont know wot types of moves theyll do.
now ronaldinho in WC if he played i know for a fact he wouldnt try to do too much skills he would try 2 pass alot rather than do skills.. now any 1 can do that, so dunga mite b making a GOOD DECISION here!
oh and guys.. im brazilian my team is corinthians back in brazil. look u guys asked about ronaldo. nah i myself would pick him hes not as fast anymore. hes retired from international football. in 2006 ronaldo did a few good goals but first game against croatia horrible and brazil cant do the same in their opening games in 2010. i personally would chose as starting linups:
def= Maicon-Lucio-Juan-Baston
mid= Kaka-elano-diego-melo
att= robinho-pato- luis fab-neymar
I’m dissapointed that Adriano is not playing in this world cup, but this team they picked is young and strong. Its going to be good!
Dunga is crazy to leave play maker big time ronaldiho out.dunga watch you fail coz of leaving him out,you will be fired for bad decision.i cant believe you dunga.roberto carlos needs to be back there too.#3 sport is a weak link.mutatingwa brazil ngoja!!!!lol
I understand Ronaldinho doesn’t score as much as he used to but he’s become more of a backbone to the team. He sets up plays for other people to score, we neeed him. and no adriano and Ronaldo? come on.
