Every one in Brazil was cursing Dunga for calling ronaldinho in the first place, during the first Dunga selection.
He was on a really bad year and doing NOTHING for Brazil's squad.
So Dunga got tired and let him off.
Pato wasnt even being mentioned, well, for at least 90% of Brazilians fans.
We dont think he can play at a high level in a WC, and he didnt have good performances when he had a chance.
Ronaldinho lately was a 50-50 opinion, because he can make a difference in one single play, even if he stays the entire game just walking around. And Brazil's lacks of genius players, something we always had.
Anyway, the other big controversy was Ganso, he plays for Santos and him and Neymar (better then Robinho, but to young) were just AWESOME this year.
Everyone was asking for Ganso, because he is young but plays so damn well, and it would be a nice experience for him to make it to the WC because in 4 years he would be the "10", the leader in Brazil's World Cup.
Our team is getting old and with a defensive style that never was a characteristic.
And theres no apparent renovation going on, we´re relying on Kaka (injured) and Robinho (very good, but not 100%) after that, we just have defensive players.
Anyway, this selection of players is getting a lot of criticism, but they managed to win every single competition they played, so its a very strong group. Without parties, lazy ass superstars and players who are living in the last 3 years just making NIKE ads.
Scoobyffc,
what is your opinion on Ronaldinho and Pato not being in the Brazil squad? do you think its justified as they dont work hard enough or do you think that both should have been included for their great ability on the ball?
how does the general public in Brazil feel about it?
