Now would be the ideal time for Dopey to experiment seeing how the seleção have already qualified for the World Cup. What we don’t get, however, is tio’s love for Andre Santos!!!

Anyway, the squad for the remaining qualifiers against Venezuela and Bolivia has been finalised and it’s nice to see Naldo and Diego Souza back again. Internacional’s Sandro has also been called up for the first time. But Andre has been inconsistent at best. Also, mark your calendars down on November 14… when our manos take on England in a friendly.
