Dunga: His real name actually is: Carlos Caetano, but people simply call him Dunga,. In 2006 the year in which he was nominated to become the next brazilian coach he was being highly judged and unappraised stating that he did not have the experience necessary to coach a team like: Brazil, but Dunga has done very well, with his results leading Brazil.

OTHER TEAMS : 

Argentina

The Star Players

Kaka: Much like Messi, in my article about Argentina, Kaka is a player that does not need a introduction. He is the player that is gonna lead Brazil with his speed and fast counter-attacks, if anybody can make a team win its Kaka.

Julios Cesar: The star goalkeeper of Inter, is also a star in his national team some even consider him to be the best in the world.Cesar is 1 of the biggest reasons why Inter won the Treble although most recently he has been rumoured to be injured and may miss out the world cup, if this is true its gonna be a sad world cup for Brazil.
