Brazil’s 2010 World Cup Roster: Dunga Names His 23 For South Africa, Excludes Ronaldinho

While most nations are taking advantage of the window between provisional and final roster submissions to initially call-in a larger squad, Dunga and Brazil have followed the course as other nations (like Japan) and named their 23-man, final roster in advance of the June 1 deadline.

On Tuesday, Dunga announced the Selecão team for South Africa, confirming the omission all football fans had suspected. Despite personal expectations to the contrary, Milan attacker and former FIFA World Player of the Year Ronaldinho will not be with Brazil in South Africa.
