Pulling out some big guns there. I’m surprised that Danilo made it. He never looked that impressive to me.

the squad was whittled down to 22 as Alan (Vitória), João Pedro (Palermo) & Lucas Gaúcho (São Paulo) were dropped

hmm not many well-known names for me. (But yeah, I’m not brazilian)… By the by, where are Man United twins? And also, does anybody know what happened to that “wonderkid” Kerlon? U+Haven’t heard about him in ages! XD

he’s had an injury plagued career going from Cruzeiro to Chievo, Inter Milan, Ajax, and back to Inter but has hardly kicked (or juggled) a ball in this period

I’m happy 4 Coutinho because they call him in the squad. He’s really need our help. He’s a future Kaka.
