Brazil Names Team For World Cup 2010 South Africa  | | | | Brazil having already won the World Cup in 1958, 1962, 1970, 1994 and 2002, Brazil will look to win their record sixth World Cup title in South Africa. Brazil national coach Dunga had just officially named his 23 players for the forthcoming tournament. Goalkeepers: Julio Cesar (Inter/Italy), Doni (Roma/Italy) and Gomes (Tottenham/England); Defenders: Lucio (Inter/Italy), Juan (Roma/Italy), Luisao ( Benfica/Portugal), Thiago Silva (Milan/Italy), Maicon (Inter/Italy) , Daniel Alves (Barcelona/Spain), Michel Bastos (Lyon/France), and Gilberto (Cruzeiro); Midfielders: Felipe Melo (Juventus/Italy), Gilberto Silva ( Panathinaikos/Greece), Josue (Wolfsburg/Germany), Kleberson ( Flamengo), Kaka (Real/Spain), Ramires (Benfica/Portugal), Elano ( Galatasaray/Turkey) and Julio Baptista (Roma/Italy); Strikers: Luis Fabiano (Sevilla/Spain), Robinho (Santos), Nilmar (Villarreal/Spain) and Grafite (Wolfsburg/Germany). I am not surprise with the selection except the exclusions of Ronaldinho, Alexandre Pato (AC Milan/Italy) and Adriano (Flamengo/Brazil) which I felt are better choice than Elano, Josue and Grafite. However, fans of Ronaldinho would be glad to know that this veteran still has a slight hope as he is named on a seven-player reserve list. The hot favorite has been drawn in Group G alongside Cote d'Ivoire, Portugal and North Korea where on June 15, the team will play against DPR Korea for their debut match in the World Cup. Brazil's second match in Group G will be against the Cote d'Ivoire on June 20, followed by the culmination of what is deemed a promising and exciting match against rival Portugal on June 25. I am hoping that 2010 will be successful for my favorite team and that they will emerge as world champion. | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

| | zed_k4, I hope that Brazil wins too, but until the tournament kicks off - I will have to give the favorites a chance. I am a big fan for Brazil and simply love watching them play. There are just a lot of considerations due to the venue where the tournament is hosted. Conditions are harsh and can be taxing for the players. Much will be left to be seen. | | | | zed_k4 (7705)
