I think it's nuts Brazil left Kaka and Robinho out of their squad.
Unless they are carrying injuries? Or in really poor form recently?
Those two would waltz in to most squads....
Brazil have included a lot of English Premier League players in its Finals squad - six - the most from any league.
(Four from Chelsea, one each from Man City & Spurs)
And only four who play in Brazil! Only two outfield players who play in Brazil!
Plus three from la Liga, three from Serie A, two from Bundesliga, two from France.

Both Kaka and Robinho, as well as Ronaldinho, have been given chances to show Scolari what they've got and not really delivered. Robinho would not get into the squads of the top several nations on the back of his form over the last couple of years regardless, same can probably be said for Kaka.
Ronaldinho on the other hand has played well for Atletico Mineiro recently, but doesn't fit into the national team style of play and probably lacks the attitude Scolari wants from his players.
With Oscar, Bernard, Neymar, Hulk and Willian Brazil are well stocked in the attacking midfield positions, the one who is really unlucky to have missed out is Liverpool's Coutinho who has been in great form and in my opinion would have been the ideal backup to Oscar, as he is better in the #10 role than the others I've mentioned, who are pacier and better suited to playing out wide.
