In this all stars team there are only two central midfielder (Didì and Falcao) and too much forwards and offensive midfielder, I'd add Gerson in place of Rivaldo or another offensive player.

Well, I don't think there is need for changes.. Sócrates and even Zizinho could take part in midfield to make good alternatives for those central positions..

Congratulations to Brazil on winning Confederations Cup and demolishing one of the most overrated NT generations of all time..

To provide a better defensive work without losing technical quality, I would add Danilo Alvim to the first squad. We was a Redondo-like player from the 1940's. I dare to say he could replace even Falcão or Rivaldo since we already have many attack-oriented players in the midfield and no one in charge of marking. Zito and Toninho Cerezo are other good names.



Yes, and we weren't able to score more goals just due to the excess of precaution by Scolari.
Anyway, it was funny to see Iniesta's face when he received the prize of second best player of the tournament.

Well, I know you prefer that player but really I can't agree about moving Rivaldo to reserves or even great Falcão despite the fact that there are little more attacking players.. throughout the whole history of Brazilian football their style was based on attack and all formations are created to attack, so I don't see any problem to have more offensive players in the team.. and as I already said we have some players who can replace those positions without inserting some new defensive names..

Why no player has the link?

Some of Charruan threads need to be linked, I will do it as soon as possible.

Ok Thank you!

In this spoiler, I have linked every player except ROBERTO DIAS, so it can be added to the first post.

Thanks Ninja'd...

All players linked ( except for Dias )

I think we should link the era teams displayed on the honours too, like this:

Roberto Dias should be removed, his impact on Brazil's NT is equal to 0, only because he "stopped" Pele at club level isn't enough motives to include him, Lucio should be in instead of him, he has by far all the merits to be here, aside from being one of the greatest brazilians defenders of all time..

Lucio deserves the spot here for his long time in the NT but he surely isn't one of the greatest Brazilian defenders of all time. He was very good in some matches but never world class while playing for the NT (just remember his fantastic season for Inter 2009-2010 and then he totally failed in the WC). World class defenders from Brazil were Luis Pereira, Edinho or Oscar, they didn't win world cups but they still played much better for the NT than Lucio ever did..
I'd even say Lucio-Roque Junior-Edmilson was the worst defense line that ever won a WC..

If you remenber the 2006 edition (that they didn't won it), i'm pretty sure that world class is not very "exaggareted", he was having a perfect campaing untill Roberto Carlos decided to tie his shoe while they were defending a free kick.
