No major surprises in Brazil’s World Cup squad
Print Edition
BRAZIL coach Luiz Felipe Scolari announced his World Cup squad yesterday without any major surprises, choosing most of the players who won last year’s Confederations Cup, also at home.
Scolari’s 23-name list includes 16 players who were in the team that won last year’s warm-up tournament by beating world champion Spain in the final.
The team will mix talented young stars such as Neymar and Oscar with more experienced players such as Dani Alves, David Luiz, Thiago Silva and Hulk.
Past stars such as Ronaldinho, Kaka and Robinho were left off the squad as expected. Only five players from this year’s list were in the 2010 tournament — goalkeeper Julio Cesar, Silva, Alves, Maicon and Ramires. Fred didn’t make it to South Africa but was in the squad for the 2006 tournament in Germany.
