Brazil Roster Announced for Friendly

August 23rd, 2007 | by: Carter Daly |

The stars will be out in Chicago when Brazil faces off in the “Clash of Champions” with the USA.

Kaka, ‘Dinho, and ‘Binho all present.

GOALKEEPERS (2): Doni (Roma), Julio Cesar (Inter Milan)
DEFENDERS (8): Maicon (Inter Milan), Daniel Alves (Sevilla), Alex Silva (São Paulo), Lúcio (Bayern Munich), Juan (Roma), Alex (Chelsea), Kleber (Santos), Gilberto (Hertha Berlin),
MIDFIELDERS (8): Gilberto Silva (Arsenal), Mineiro (Hertha Berlin), Josué (VfL Wolfsburg), Fernando (Bordeaux), Elano (Manchester City), Kaká (AC Milan), Julio Baptista (Real Madrid), Diego (Werder Bremen)
FORWARDS (4): Ronaldinho (Barcelona), Robinho (Real Madrid), Vagner Love (CSKA Moscow), Afonso (SC Heerenveen)

I think one of the few things keeping the United States from being a world footballing power is the quality of name on our rosters. We need something that can stand up to the likes of Vagner Love. Possibly the best name ever.

Who are you looking forward to seeing in this one? Who should Bob call up? Better footballer name than Vagner Love? Drop a comment.

Vagner Love really is funny :^)#

The US team should contract some advertiser people to creat fun nick for the players, then.

I remember writing about the Brazilian nicknames a long time ago.

“… In 1942 Zizinho was a top player for my team here in Rio, Flamengo, and not only had him this nickname, but another version of it too: Master Ziza. His name was Thomaz Soares da Silva. It was 1942!!! …”
