Has he been dropped or is he injured? Just interested.

Just watching it now ozboy. I think Menezes is experimenting a little. A few guys who haven't had a look in, getting a run. Hulk being an interesting one, not that he impressed.

I was most impressed with Fernandinho from Shakthar, looked very good. Played in the 10 after Ganso came off, and played a very silkiy ball for Leandro to score the winner. Elias played in the Ramires role, when I actually switched on I assumed he was Ramires given their similar appearance, but he was being very lazy with his movement. I was most relieved when it wasn't him.

BTW Ronaldinho is still a genius, slow, but still brilliant with the ball.

I believe he's retired from international football so he can take care of his cat which has cat flu.

Here we have a cat called Ramires playing fetch with something green:



Maybe this cat thinks thinks he's a dog. I can guarantee that if my cat could talk, he'd tell me "you want that green thing, go and fetch it yourself".

He was left out/dropped, call it what you will.

Brazil have been pretty poor recently and he seems to be one of those who has paid the price.

Ramires is just not good enough... thats why he was dropped

Just kidding...

Anyways  I think there is no big reason for him beeing dropped, the Brazilian manager experiments on how to build a team for the WC
