How can we have a World Cup without this Man?





The World Cup ....The greatest sports spectacle period end of story. The one event, not to sound overly cliche, that can literally stop war and mass hate. Where all the greatest showman of the sport get together every 4 years to put on the greatest show on earth. Except one man, Dunga, decided he didn't want to include arguably the best player over the course of the last 10 years and at the moment either the best or second best player in Serie A. Dunga has put himself and the rest of his team in quite a cross hair within their own country. If this team approach which just so happens to mirror Dunga's own style doesn't produce a golden trophy at the end of the tournament he's going to have to face some tough press. Dinho isn't the only exclusion that has South America buzzing Dunga also said no thanks to Diego ( Juventus), Neymar ( santos) , Adriano (flamengo) and Pato ( AC Milan) all of whom bring skill and undoubted flair which this version of Brazil seems to be lacking greatly in my opinion. Dunga has sculpted a team that like him wont be overly fancy but more hard nosed and direct. This doesnt bother me overall I can see looking for a team as opposed to stars assembled based on reputation alone i.e. Real Madrid ( wait till next year). But when the going gets tough against some of the best teams in the world not just the teams you qualify against in your continent then what? What happens Dunga when you need someone to solve a difficult defensive puzzle like Germany or Italy, someone who has undeniable creativity and unrivaled vision? Don't get me wrong here Elano and Kleberson have creativity but are they Dinho ? True you have Kaka but is he even playing well right now ? To me it seems that Dunga wants to show the world that he doesn't need Dinho to qualify thus he doesn't need him against the worlds best. Which means for us fans of the game we don't get to see one of the finest footballers of all time and currently at an event that was made for players like him ....For me this is a crime. Good luck Dunga with your bulldogs , Good Luck Robinho trying to solve all the puzzles your the man now, Good luck shaking off the ghosts of Madrid Kaka , good luck second tier Brazil at the biggest of all shows.


PS SHIMER GOMES MADE THE TEAM !
