Brazil .... the other team squad they could have entered in the World Cup

Gabriel              Milan
Diego Cavalieri   Fluminense
Diego Alves        Valencia

Adriano              Barcelona
Alex Sandro        Porto
Danilo                Porto
Rafinha              Bayern
Felipe Luis.         Athletico
Miranda             Athletico
Marquinhos         PSG
(Opted not to have Doria or Dede)

Lucas Moura        PSG
Lucas Leiva          Liverpool
Coutinho             Liverpool
Roberto Firmino   Hoffenheim
Romulo                Spartak Moscow
Fernando             Porto
Alex Teixeira         Shakhtar
Kaka                     Milan
(Opted not to have Fernando or Douglas Costa of Shakhtar among others)

Leandro Damiao    Santos
Alex Pato               São Paulo
Robinho                Milan        

Not a bad squad!!better than a lot of others.

Plus they let Thiago Motta and the other Romulo play for Italy, Diego Costa and Thiago Alcantara for Spain and Gio dos Santos for Mexico.

Crikey, that's a bit frightening.

Dread to think what our second 23 would look like.

I can't even think of three keepers!!

And I forgot Pepe at Real. He's Brazilian too. And I didn't go through the Brazilian Leagues too much or Russia and Ukraine with Wellington anemone and many others. It's literally a factory of amazing players. A midfield 5 of Romulo and Lucas holding and an attacking 3 of Firmino (highest scoring Brazilian in any of Europes top 5 leagues and voted best young Brazilian player by ESPN Brazil last season), Lucas Moura and Coutinho (voted best Brazilian playing overseas by ESPN Brazil last season). And that 5 didn't make the squad. I'd take that for my starting 11.
