Confederations Cup: Brazil

The Brazilian squad for the Confederations Cup has been announced. Brazil are in Group B where they will be facing Italy, USA and Egypt.

How they got here: 2007 Copa América Champions

Goalkeepers: Julio Cesar (Inter Milan, Italy), Gomes (Tottenham Hotspur, England), Victor (Gremio)

Defenders: Maicon (Inter Milan, Italy), Daniel Alves (FC Barcelona, Spain), Kleber (Internacional), Andre Santos (Corinthians), Juan (AS Roma, Italy), Lucio (Bayern Munich, Germany), Luisao (Benfica, Portugal)

Midfielders: Kleberson (Flamengo), Gilberto Silva (Panathinaikos, Greece), Josue (Wolfsburg, Germany), Ramires (Cruzeiro), Elano (Manchester City, England), Felipe Melo (Fiorentina, Italy), Julio Baptista (AS Roma, Italy), Kaka (AC Milan, Italy)

Forwards: Alexandre Pato (AC Milan, Italy), Luis Fabiano (Sevilla, Spain), Nilmar (Internacional), Robinho (Manchester City, England)

Ronaldo and Ronaldinho were not named in the squad. Alex (Chelsea), Maicon (F.C. Internazionale Milano) and Anderson (Manchester United) were named in the squad but had to drop out due to injury.

I'm looking forward to seeing Pato and Dani Alves play a big part in this tournament they both can really shine. Brazil are playing in the toughest of the two groups going up against the World Champions Italy, the Africian Champions Egypt and hopefully the USA can give Brazil a proformance like they did against Argentina last year.

Come back tomorrow for the Iraqi squad.
