Brazil have named a strong squad for their 08 Olympic campaign as they aim to win a title that has eluded them so far.
Brazil’s Olympic Football squad for Beijing 2008:
Coach:
Dunga, 44
Goalkeepers:
Diego (23) (Almeira, Spain)
Renan (23) (Internacional)
Defenders:
Alex Silva (23) (Sao Paulo)
Breno (18) (Bayern Munich, Germany)
Thiago Silva (23) (Fluminese)
Ilsinho (22) (Shakhtar Donetsk, Ukraine)
Rafinha (22) (Schalke 04, Germany)
Marcelo (20) (Real Madrid, Spain)
Midfielders:
Anderson (20) (Manchester United, England)
Diego (23) (Werder Bremen, Germany)
Hernanes (23) (Sao Paulo)
Lucas (21) (Liverpool, England)
Ronaldinho (28) (Barcelona, Spain)

Strikers:
Alexandre Pato (18) (AC Milan, Italy)
Jo (21) (Manchester City, England)
Rafael Sobis (23) (Real Betis, Spain)
Robinho (24) (Real Madrid, Spain)
As you can see, Brazil have named an experinced squad with several players aged 22 and 23. The younger ones are usually sensational stars on their own (Anderson, Jo, Lucas, Breno) and in Diego, Ronaldinho and Robinho they have three excellent attacking players who will be able to ply open the inexperienced defenders at the Olympics with ease.
Even if one or two of these players don’t make it to the Olympics (due to club-FIFA squabbling), the squad is quite strong and in an easy group (Group C has Brazil, China, Belgium and New Zealand).

Brazil this is very good squad and I believe they can delivered.
Brazilian coach has to be extra careful as the whole world is watching him to lift the only remains cup for brazil to complete its dominations in the field of soccer.
I wish him the best and good luck
July 15th, 2008 @ 15:17hey dunga good team so far, but theres no way you can leave out players like guilherme of cruzeiro, dagoberto of saupaulo and andre lima of botofogo you have to include variety in your team a player like andre lima will power around these defenders with his good heading skills and he has great footwork too good coordination on and off the ball makes good diagonal runs, not to mention guilherme this kid is a natural goal scorer good ball control nice footwork on the ball very smooth this kid i can bet a million dollars will worth more or as much as kaka and ronoldinho in the near future he should definetly be in the brazil squad, not to mention dagoberto hes excellent good attacking player knows how to score goals good playmaker too, hey dunga or you scouts of the brazilian team if you play these guys you never loose a game
