Brazil Coach Scolari Announces World Cup Squads

Brazil Coach Luiz Felipe Scolari has named 23 Squads for FIFA World Cup. The mega event will start from 12th June and for the first time Brazil will play World Cup on home soil. Among all the teams, Brazil is one of the most successful nation in the tournament's history.

There is no major surprises in the list. But we can't see few great Brazil players in the mega tournament like AC Milan forward Robinho, Ronaldinho and Kaka. Brazilian coach Scolari has full condidence on his players, as he is with the team for a very long time.

In 2002, Scolari preferred a 3-4-3 line up with Ronaldo at its apex. But now Scolari and technical coordinator Carlos Alberto Parreira will change their line up to 4-2-3-1 permutation with the idea that star footballer Neymar of Barcelona can enjoy a free role.

Brazil will start their world cup journey in the opening game of the World Cup on June 12 against Croatia. The entire nation and all Brazilian fans from all around the world will be hoping all these players lead the nation to a sixth World Cup victory.
