Wasn't he on the World Cup 2002 team? But he played for Flamengo then?

LisaBrasil,
I have looked at the link provided which seems to be pretty up-to-date but this interview
http://www.uefa.com/magazine/news/Ki...Id=263594.html
kinda says he has 30 caps as of early december 2004. Weird.

He has never played in WC. He plays for Lyon since 2001. Used to play for Vasco de Gama.

Juninho Paulista currently playing for Celtic was in the 2002 WC squad. We are talking about Pernambucano here (I hope). Paulista also played for Vasco at 1 point. I think they played together in 2000 at Vasco (not sure about that though).

Good player if you ask me.
