Brazil 2 – 0 Ireland.
Brazil played its last match before going to the World Cup in South Africa. Dunga’s team did its job by beating Ireland 2 – 0 with two oals from Robinho, but some things are still clearly wrong.
To start, Brazil’s left midfield, which hasn’t been working since Roberto Carlos left in 2006. So many have [...]
Dunga very close to defining who will play in South Africa
Yesterday Dunga (and his loyal soldier Jorginho) called the squad to take on Ireland on March 2nd, the last friendly match before Dunga calls the final players who will play the World Cup in South Africa. No surprises, really. Ronaldinho is probably staying out even though he’s been doing well in AC Milan. Punk [...]

Another Big One Defeated: Brazil 1 – 0 England

WTF?! Fabio Simplicio Called to the National Team!
Another surprise of Dunga, and not a good one this time. Ramires, injured, will be replaced by Palermo’s Fabio Simplicio in the matches against England and Oman. This just doesn’t make sense.
The Good-bye of Sorin
Sorin played yesterday his last match as a professional footballer. And the stage for the farewell party could be no other place than the Mineirao, in Belo Horizonte. And the teams on the field could be no different than Argentinos Juniors, club where the left-back started his career, and Cruzeiro, club for whom he professes [...]
Dunga Calls Fabio Aurelio, Hulk and Michel Bastos
Dunga announced today the players who will play the last 2 matches of the year (against England and Oman). And he had a few surprises. Given that he decided not to call players from Brazilian clubs (and therefore was unable to call Adriano and Diego Tardelli), he called forward Hulk. But he wasn’t the only [...]
Brazil Will Take on England in November
CBF announced today that Brazil will play a friendly match against England on November 14th. Where? Doha, Qatar. Why? The organization sold the right of all friendlies of the national team. And the people who bought it can organize the matches wherever they please.
In the meantime, While CBF pockets money and Brazilian fans do [...]
