Finally.

I could never understand why Dunga was ignoring him. Hopefully the new manager will give the Tank a chance to prove himself.

In other news, Ramires is back with the national team and Neymar is omitted.

Its been ridiculous how few times hes been called up, considering some of the other sh*te they have called up.

great news, alex.

It's hardly surprising really - you forget that this is the manager that left Ronaldinho out of his World Cup squad this year in favour of Kleberson...

and Pato.... That I dont get even more so as Ronaldhino wasnt in the best form but Pato had been as good if not better than many of the strikers Dunga selected......and he is so young he could easily be the future of that team given some experience in the sr international squad. I hope someone doesnt come embarass me by pointing out he was injured or something....I dont think he was :blush:

Edit: Off topic of thread but on topic of this, I think Cambiasso not being picked by Maradonna was the biggest "OMG he wasnt selected?" of the World Cup. Easily one of the best mids in Europe last season(probably the best holding mid).

The reason Cambiasso wasn't picked by Maradonna was that he'd been simply awful for Argentina whenever Maradonna had picked him previously, so he didn't trust him enough to have him in his world cup squad.
