FAVOURITES TAKE FRED TO THE WORLD CUP...

...but he probably won't get a game. What a squad of footballing riches Brazil have, compared to the rest of us. Word has it that even tubby Ronaldo has given up the pies in readiness for the greatest sports show on earth.
17 of them have only one name - that's a sure sign of them being good, (apparently).
Only one player from the English Premiership makes the Brazil line-up, Arsenal's Gilberto Silva.

Goalkeepers: Dida (AC Milan), Julio Cesar (Inter Milan), Rogerio Ceni (Sao Paulo)

Defenders: Cafu (AC Milan), Cicinho (Real Madrid), Lucio (Bayern Munich), Juan (Bayer Leverkusen), Roberto Carlos (Real Madrid), Gilberto (Hertha Berlin), Cris (Olympique Lyon), Luisao (Benfica)

Midfielders: Edmilson (Barcelona), Juninho Pernambucano (Olympique Lyon), Emerson (Juventus), Ze Roberto (Bayern Munich), Gilberto Silva (Arsenal), Kaka (AC Milan), Ricardinho (Corinthians)

Forwards: Ronaldo (Real Madrid), Robinho (Real Madrid), Ronaldinho (Barcelona), Adriano (Inter Milan), Fred (Olympique Lyon).

Why do Brazil have the monopoly on the best names in football?
