Dunga presents his World Cup list

Posted by Juan Arango 5.11.2010


Grafite is the big surprise on Dunga's list as the Canarinha had their list published on Tuesday.   The Wolfsburg striker was the Bundesliga's leading scorer in 2008/09.  He was called up on two occasions

Adriano was left out after Dunga publicly expressed his displeasure over the Flamango star's motivation as of late. 

AC Milan had only one Brazilian player selected.  Left out of the list was Alexandre Pato, Ronaldinho, and Dida.  The only Rossoneri called up to the list was former Fluminense defender Thiago Silva. 

Ronaldinho was officially shunned as it looks like his international career is virtually done.  The same thing goes for Juventus forward Amauri, who was hoping for a miracle after being nixed by Marcello Lippi over at Italy. 

Brazil will have a very tough group in Group G where they will face Portugal, Ivory Coast, and North Korea.

Goalkeepers: Júlio César (Inter-ITA), Gomes (Tottenham Hotspur-ENG), Doni (AS Roma-ITA).

Defenders: Juan (AS Roma-ITA), Lucio (Inter-ITA), Luisão (Benfica-POR), Thiago Silva (AC Milan-ITA), Gilberto Silva (Arsenal-ENG), Dani Alves (Barcelona-ESP), Maicon (Inter-ITA), Michel Bastos (Lyon-FRA), Gilberto (Cruzeiro)

Midfielders: Felipe Melo (Juventus-ITA), Josué (Wolfsburg-GER), Kléberson (Flamengo), Elano (Galatasaray-TUR), Ramires (Benfica-POR), Kaká (Real Madrid-ESP), Júlio Baptista (AS Roma-ITA), Gilberto (Panathinaikos-GRE)

Forwards: Luis Fabiano (Sevilla- ESP), Nilmar (Villarreal- ESP), Robinho (Santos), Grafite (Wolfsburg- GER)
