Dunga has announced the squad to face Argentina on September 5. Two names stand out in the listing. The first is the return of Adrian with canarinha. The striker leads the scoring charts in the Brazilian championship with 10 goals, and their good performances with Flamengo earned him another chance (deserved or not) in front verdeamarelha.

The second outstanding aspect is Ronaldinho, who has not been called for the qualifying match. With his career turned into a real disaster, Milan has made no merit to make the call. With Kaka as the brain of the Brazil team, strategist preferred alternative as the injured Julio Baptista rather than give him another chance to Ronaldinho.
Another worth mentioning is called continuity of Luis Filipe on the left side. This call discards the probability of a call by veteran Roberto Carlos, who had expressed their desire to return to the selection. For this meadow has also chosen to Andre Santos, Marcelo left out of Real Madrid. Apparently, the vocation of merengue offensive fails to convince Dunga, who prefers a marker at that position.
The complete call Brazil is:
Goalkeepers: Julio Cesar (Inter Milan) and Victor (Gremio).
Defenders: Maicon (Inter Milan), Daniel Alves (Barcelona), Lucio (Inter Milan), Juan (Roma), Luisao (Benfica), Miranda (Sao Paulo), Andre Santos (Fenerbahce), Luis Filipe (Deportivo Coruña).
Midfielders: Gilberto Silva (Panathinaikos, Josue (Wolfsburg), Felipe Melo (Juventus), Lucas (Liverpool), Elano (Galatasaray), Ramires (Benfica), Kaka (Real Madrid), Julio Baptista (Roma).
Forwards: Robinho (Manchester City), Luis Fabiano (Sevilla), Nilmar (Villareal) and Adriano (Flamengo).
