Brazil Announces Roster For Upcoming Qualifiers

by George Metellus on September 30, 2008 · 14 comments

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.

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.
