Republic of Ireland vs Brazil

[beals]

I can't find the Brazil squad for the match tonight. Does anyone know if Gilberto is playing tonight? I think I read somewhere before we signed him that he had pulled out of the squad for tonight's game. Can anyone confirm?

The Brazil squad is: Julio Cesar (Internazionale), Renan (Internacional); Leonardo Moura (Flamengo), Rafinha (Schalke), Marcelo (Real Madrid), Breno (Bayern Munich), Naldo (Werder Bremen), Luisao (Benfica), Alex (Chelsea); Kaka (AC Milan), Gilberto Silva (Arsenal), Hernanes (Sao Paulo), Josue (Wolfsburg), Lucas (Liverpool), Richarlyson (Sao Paulo), Anderson (Manchester United), Thiago Neves (Fluminense), Julio Baptista (Real Madrid); Robinho (Real Madrid), Luis Fabiano (Sevilla), Rafael Sobis (Real Betis), Alexandre Pato (AC Milan). </SPAN>

anyone know why he didn't get picked?

Don't know, don't care. We don't want him getting injured in a Mickey Mouse friendly before he's even kicked a ball for us.

I think he pulled out so he could have more training time with us.

 

[beals]

Cheers lads, yeah would of liked to see him in action tonight, but as you say its better that that he's training with Ramos than getting injured in a meaninless game like tonight...

Not a bad game. Quite open. Keano looked like he wasn't really trying, but who gives a rats arse?

Ireland looked a damn site better than they have for a while. Good discipline and broke nicely through Duff. Against weaker sides they'll do ok.

That doesn't really look like their first choice squad, I don't think.
