I think the Brasil squad will be good during the Copa America.. Naldo & Alex are strong physical players and Juan is an experienced player.. the midfield is exciting to watch because of Diego Anderson & Robinho.. Vagner Love will need to step it up if Brasil have a chance

No Ze Roberto.
Zé Roberto renunció a la selección brasileña de fútbol

(RPP) Debido a la violencia imperante en Brasil, el volante Zé Roberto renunció a disputar la Copa América junto a la selección de fútbol de su país y retornó a Europa.

"Tomé la decisión de volver a Europa, es una oportunidad para darle tranquilidad a mi familia", explicó Zé Roberto.

Esta baja empeora las cosas para los pentacampeones del mundo, que ya habían descartado la participación de Ronaldinho y Kaká para el torneo a comenzar este 26 de junio en Venezuela.

La eliminación del Santos en semifinales de la Copa Libertadores ante Gremio de Porto Alegre pesaron en la decisión de Zé Roberto, según palabras del jugador de 33 años.

not a very good replacement, IMO.

Ze Roberto >>> Baptista.

[Don Boppero 3000]

Robinho (http://msn.foxsports.com/soccer/story/6914392)won't be there, or is this false?

[Visca...]

if they don't release him by the time it is supposed, FIFA can fine Madrid.

Fine in the form of money or points?

I'm hoping he shows up.

Points. :eek:

Barca wins! :p :D

Madrid will have to release him unless they work out a deal with Brazil, Brazil informs FIFA that it's ok, and he's allowed to play in the weekend.

Honestly I feel Baptista is faster than Ze Roberto

He may be faster, but that's about it. Ze Roberto is a better palyer overall. Baptista has not been able to settle at Madrid or Arsenal, while Ze Roberto was huge for Bayern and also for Santos in the Libertadores.

[LDU4ever]

any other way of looking at it and brazil is still taking a stacked team

Ze Oberto is a better player BUT Baptista gives Brazil some much needed size because Diego - Robinho - Elano are quick, gifted BUT small players.
