Brazil

Apparently CBF president said Dunga is manager.........for now. Press is speculating that if we don't have a good showing this Copa america aka win, he is sacked.

Sad to see Brazilian soccer stoop to this.

This kinda reminds me of 2007 when Dunga needed to win the Copa America to keep his job. We playing awful then too but he turned it around after the Copa.

I don't think that will be the case this time. He's stubborn decision and awful tactics is messing up Brazil.

It's a shame what's happening with 2 of the biggest south american nt's, Brazil and Argentina. Both with subpar coaches, and 2 highly corrupted and stupid goverment bodies.

I was reading a week ago according to Globo, CBF is questioning Dunga on why he isn't calling up Thiago Silva and Marcelo.

Yea there was apparently a meeting telling him to choose the best players. Sad that a NT manager needs to be told this but Dunga is the definition of an ass.

And another piece of outrageous news, CBF were going to fire and replace Dunga last year but then got distracted by the criminal investigations going on and put it on hold.

The likes of Kaka, Philippe Coutinho, Hulk and Douglas Costa headline Brazil's 40-man preliminary roster for this summer's Copa America, but the real intrigue is in who is not on Dunga's squad.

Veteran defenders David Luiz, Marcelo and Thiago Silva have been omitted entirely by the Brazil manager, meaning they will join Neymar as high-profile Selecao players who will not be at Copa America.

Thiago and Marcelo are on Dunga shit list so I doubt they are going to the olympics. We might see Luiz but he has been heavily criticized for his performances of late and it possibly best he isn't on either team.

Who should be in Brazil's front 3?

They can have only 3 over 23 players in their Olympic team IIRC .Neymar is one so those 3 can't all join the summer Olympics

Marcelo deserves to be left out in the cold after lying to Dunga about his injury so he could be fresh for the Clasico. At least one thing Dunga did right.

 

[BrazilFan]

Marcelo didn't lie. Dunga actually did.

 

[Ode to Django]

Who should be in Brazil's front 3?

Kaka, Robinho, Pato

hot

 

[te amo barca]

Their best squad for the Copa is something like:
Diego Alves
Dani Alves - Miranda - Gabriel(Marquinhos) - Filipe Luis
Casemiro
Fernandinho - Coutinho
Willian - Firmino - Douglas Costa

 

[ThwiX]

Marcelo didn't lie. Dunga actually did.

Then why is he giving Marcelo the T. Silva treatment right now if Marcelo didn't lie to him?
