There is no surprise in the squad except that Nilmar is left out of the squad to be replace by Fred.
So what do you think of the latest lineup for Brazil?
Goalkeepers Victor (Gremio), Julio Cesar (Inter)
Defenders: Daniel Alves (Barcelona), Maicon (Inter), Andre Santos (Fenerbahce), Adriano (Barcelona), Lucio (Inter), Thiago Silva (Milan), David Luiz (Chelsea) Luisao (Benfica)
Midfielders: Lucas Leiva (Liverpool), Ramires (Chelsea), Sandro (Tottenham), Jadson (Shakhtar Donetsk), Elias (Atletico Madrid), Elano (Santos), Paulo Henrique Ganso (Santos), Lucas Silva (Sao Paulo)
Forwards: Robinho (Milan), Alexandre Pato (Milan), Fred (Fluminense), Neymar (Santos)

Brazil seems to have a strong goalie(J.Cesar), good defenders and attackers, but the midfield doesn't seem to good anymore. A few years ago, Brazil hasn't had so many good goalies or defenders, but they have had brilliant midfielders strikers. Now I can see they have world class goalkeeper, brilliant defenders, very good strikers, but the midfield doesn't seem to be at the highest level, they are probably middle class. Still, I say that Brazil is Brazil, they are a force to reckon with, and their fierce rivals will be Paraguay, Argentina and I think the strongest opponents, Uruguay.

I miss Marcelo, Kaka (both Real Madrid) and Hernanes (Lazio).
I think this time, it has more players who played in the local league, rather than in the European clubs. But I don't really count them.
But well, you can't take all of the players of a nation, right?
And since I'm not a really Brazillian fans, then I've got nothing really matters about this line-up :D

I think that's a very good lineup, with the convocation of Ganso the team will play a lot better than they played in the last two games again Netherlands and Romania, because he's definitely one of the best midfieldes currently playing. Plus, Ganso, Neymar and Robinho will be part of the starting team and we all know how good they played together in Santos team. With these offensive players plus the good defenders (especially Lucio) this new Brazil team has everything to be the best of the world. For me the main reason why they played bad in the last two games is because they didn't had time enough to practice together.
