Brazil expects Ronaldinho’s back in World Cup 2010

It is still doubt that Brazilian midfield player Ronaldinho will be allowed for the next FIFA World Cup 2010 that supposed to be held in South Africa. In a recent conversation the former Brazilian players and responsible coach Dunga expressed his opinion but Ronaldinho have to proof his quality. Ronaldinho is performing low comparing with the expectation level and that is why he has been kept out from the Confederation Cup. Recently, Ronaldinho is playing on the side of Barcelona in Spanish league. Now, Question is; will he attend in the final of Confederation Cup against USA?

Goal reported:

Now, with Brazil in the final this weekend, Dunga said "I would like him to return, but if he is going to do it, I do not know".

"The question of his return is down to him...Obviously the responsibility falls on him, it depends on him more than me, but I would like him to return," AS quote him as saying.

I think all will be agree with me that Brazil could not play well in the confederation cup, though they have reached in the final. To get win they had to be anxious with the very less important football team. May be this is the main cause of returning of Ronaldinho. The ongoing performances are making doubt Brazil fans to do well in the next WC football. The team is going to take on USA in Confederation Cup final tonight at Coca-Cola Stadium.

Brazil is in Confederation Cup 2009 final, 1-0 wins

I am watching, the semi final match of Confederation Cup Championship very attentively between South Africa and Brazil. Generally, I am the supporter of Argentina but like Brazil too. This time I was totally an audience and watching the match in Satellite TV channel ESPN at home. During the match it was very clear to me that there are many lacking inside the South African teams and also clear that Brazil could not play well and seems that if they could improver themselves then it would be difficult to be reached in a good position in World Cup 2010. I am not a football specialist even have to very good idea but as a viewer that is my opinions.

The first half time totally passed without goal. Event there were no crucial attacks from the both sides but a couple were very serious from Brazilian sides. In spite of some quality players who play regularly in the European prestigious club football tournament, it is clear that they could not please their fans in the first half with their performances.

South African men themselves know that they are not as well performer like Brazilian. But they moved alongside them very seriously with full of confidence.

At last Brazil able to score a goal at 87 minutes passed. The changing players D Alves netted the only wining goal by a free-kick from long distance of the goal post.

Brazil vs South Africa 2nd semi-finals FIFA Confederation Cup 2009


It is tough to find information about the match between these kinds of countries. South Africa is not so strong in world football even I am not sure that if they could play in world championship by beating some strong countries in African region. FIFA Confederation Cup most time champions Brazil will take on the host tonight. In the first semi final, USA beat Spain and qualified first time for the final of this stage.

Brazil team has been organized with a lot of experience players like Kaka, Robinho. I just have mentioned two names but others are not less important than them such Luís Fabiano netted three goals this season. It has title world Champions most times and is on the list of favorite team of 2010 World Champions. Now, they have opportunity to take the title to extent statistics.

As a host, RSA has secured the opportunity be the participant this year but took part onetime ago. Just one win qualified them in the semi-finals. The match will be taken place at Coca-Cola Park, Johannesburg where the final match will be kicked-off too.

The loser will take part along with Spain the group-B semifinal loser. The final and the third position winner both matches will be commence on same day 28 June 2009 but different ground.

Defending Twenty20 Champions, India, has lost the title to Pakistan this year but pulled out for the super-eight round of the ICC World Twenty20, 2009. A great embarrassment for India gays in spite of performing well in some previous tour and home series but could not do anything positively. They also had vast opportunities for practice in Indian Premier League season-2. Indian Coach Gary Kristen blames IPL for his players’ fitness that cause bad perform in Championships. I also agree with him and supported highly. BCCI protested strongly over his comment. They can do because it is question of huge amount of money.


Just finishing the World Championships, India has flown away to West Indies for their next tours. They will play a One-day international series of five matches. India already has reached in WI and taking preparation.
