World Cup 2010
- Thread starter Flipmo
- Start date
Dunga did say that if Ronaldo does play well, he will consider putting him on the NT. In case you haven't noticed, Ronaldo played very well last year and is still building up momentum towards playing in the WC.
The fact that Roberto Carlos is now playing for Corinthians means that Ronaldo and Carlos both have a chance to show off their goal scoring skills as well as how well they can play together.
Carlos and I share the same opinion:
36-year-old left back Carlos said he hopes that good performances with Corinthians this year could open the door to a return to the national team for the first time since the 2006 World Cup.
"National coach Dunga can keep an eye on me from up close here," said the 125 times capped Carlos.

let me know how that works out for you.

Ronaldo didn't play that well last year. He scored goals but his overall play wasn't that good. The Brazilian people I speak to all say no way will Dunga pick Ronaldo because of Ronaldo's influence in the locker room. Which was criticised in the 2006 World Cup. I'm a huge Ronaldo fan but I highly doubt he will make it to the World Cup.
Especially when Deigo Tardelli and Adriano were the top scorers in the same league as Ronaldo. Pato is an exciting player, L.Fabiano is one of the best strikers in the world and then you have Nilmar who has been scoring a bag full of goals for Brazil recently. Dunga won't take 6 strikers to the World Cup. (Lets not forget Robinho either) :wondering:
Playing in the Sao Paulo State Championship is different to playing in the actual Brazilian league where the standard is much higher. So Roberto Carlos will not be picked, a million players can say they want to play for their NT. Doesn't mean they will get picked will they?

Keep in mind that Ronaldo had a weight problem WHILE he was scoring goals. People just wanted him to start playing again, which he did. Ronaldo exceeded those expectations when he helped Corinthians win a tournament last year. He also won an award.
You said it yourself, the standards of playing in the Brazilian NT higher is much higher than the Sao Paulo State Championship. How many of the players on the Brazilian NT do you actually think have the experience to play in the WC? If your math is right, your numbers will come up small. Wouldn't you rather hire someone who you KNOW can deliver, rather than taking a chance on someone with very little or no experience playing in the World Cup?
You could argue and say that everyone deserves a chance to play, but I couldn't agree with you because NOT everyone does.
By the way, this is just my opinion, not a prediction, well not all of it at least...

No.
Ronaldo is not fit enough anymore and R Carlos is too old. They WERE two of the best players in the world but not now. It is extremely unlikely that Dunga will pick either of them especially since he hasnt used either since he became Brazil manager. With 6 months to go to the World Cup and no competitive international match until then, Dunga is not going to all of a sudden say 'oh i think ill pick Ronaldo and R Carlos for my WC squad even though neither has played under my tactics and methods before" . he will pick players from what he selcted already in qualification and recent friendlies so your talking about 23 players from the following:
Goalkeepers: Julio Cesar, Doni, Victor, Helton, Gomes
Defenders: Lucio, Juan, Thiago Silva, Luisao, Miranda, Andre Santos, Filipe Luis, , Marcelo, Kleber, Alex, Adriano, Maicon, Bastos, Dani Alves, Cris, Naldo, F Aurelio.
Midfielders: Kaka, G Silva, Josue, Felipe Melo, Diego, Elano, Lucas Leiva, Fabio Simplicio, Alex, Julio Baptista, Carlos Eduardo, Ramires, Sandro, Diego Souze, Kleberson, Anderson,
Forwards: Robinho, Luis Fabiano, Nilmar, Hulk, Diego Tardelli, Pato, Adriano

Yup, they sure did. lol. I remember that Jozic scored for that one cause he hardly ever had a goal.
I also remember most of my family in the basement supporting Germany that game.

Who was the coach in the 1990? Was it Osim?
