How is it possible that Brazil doesn't call Alves?! Guess Dunga will get dismissed soon anyway...

it seemed like the brazilian fans cheered on a bolivian attack at one point, i've never seen anything like it! i'd be amazed if dunga is still there for the WC. Argentina didn't look too good either, messi was very quiet. the peru left back, vargas looked really good, both defending and attacking, could be replaement for abidal? anyone know anything about him?

Good noticing sjp, Juan Manuel Vargas was topping my FCB wish list for the left back position along with Gael Clichy. He was voted as a best left back in Serie A last year and was transferred from Catania to Fiorentina for a quite affordable 12 M €. Fast, good dribbler, excellent long range shooting and at the same time very good defending. If he maintains his form this season his price could rise up to 20-22 M €, especially due to a deficit of quality left backs in the market. He would bring balance to Barca's left flank which is currently one major problem (Abidal - Hleb / Iniesta on left Vs. Dani Alves - Messi on the right).

From day one i was against Dunga. Its like he wants to be the star of the team and he doesnt even play anymore. Brazil is just losing precious time by keeping him on longer.

Everyone remembers the Vagner Love days. Then Fabiano landed on his lap and saved his ass, but it looks like thats not gonna work forever.

Dani Alves only single handedly won the Copa America for him, and what does he get? No call ups for the WC qualifiers! Enough is enough...FUCK DUNGA!

I think Zico would be a great replacement. dont know why he left fenerbahce, but it could be a good thing for Brazil.
