TUDO BEM?!! Welcome to Day 2 of the Selecao Bootcamp,
brought to you by the "Caras Novas" or newbies of the Brazilian team -
Alex Sandro, Bruno Cesar, Dudu, Kleber and Willian! Many of them are from the winning U-20
Brazilian national side and were picked based on those performances.

This weekend, Brazil's national championship reaches round 28. So, with just 11 games to go in
the league, it was high time I revealed the six players who have caught my eye this season. This is
the fourth Talent Factory (2008, 2009,
2010) and in many ways it's been the hardest to write.
Mais um jogo do Mundial Sub-20, foi realizado no dia 04/08/2011, na cidade de Barranquila-COL, onde

If Brazil intends to avoid the drama of another penalty shootout on Saturday when it takes on
Portugal in the final of the FIFA Under-20 World Cup, Ney Franco's side must become the first team
to find the back of the net against Portugal, whose remarkable shutout streak in this tournament
reached 570 minutes following Wednesday's 2-0 semifinal victory over France.
Henrique was the hero with a brace. Brazil has a great talent in Negueba who has a motor, ball
skills, and great crossing ability. One to watch out for. Danilo, Allan, and Dudu also caught the
eye with their slick passing that led to Henrique's second.
Brazil now meet Portugal in the finals on Saturday.
Ney Franco
Coach Ney Franco has called up 26 players for the Under-20 World Cup in Colombia. The coach will
cut five players before the squad head off to Colombia 24 July. The tournament runs from July 29 to
August 20. Brazil are in Group E and take on Egypt (29 July), Austria (1 August) and Panama (4
August).
Saturday
- After recently being removed from Mexico's Gold Cup roster for testing positive for a banned
substance, Mexican Soccer stars Guillermo Ochoa, Francisco Rodriguez (above), Edgar
Duenas, Christian Bermudez and Antonio Naelson were seen leaving Fogo De Chao Brazilian BBQ
Restaurant in Hollywood.

Oh, these pro-creating, earth-populating footballers, they just never stop.
Shakhtar Donetsk homie Eduardo and his wife Andrea have confirmed that they are expecting a
second child in March 2011. The couple already have a six-year-old daughter, Lorena.
Dudu gave a statement to a telly station in Croatia about the baby's impending arrival, and
added a cryptic, "It most likely will be a boy.

First things first.. Here's wishing a super happy new year to Gooners world over! 2010 was an
exciting year to be a Gooner..
For me the year can be summed up under the following 5 pointers -
- Horrific injury to Ramsey (proving the -'ve football teams play against us)
- Comeback against Barca (proving our resolute)
- Wenger staying defiant despite getting jeered by the Old Trafford faithful (proving his faith
in the ‘Arsenal Way')
- Standing ovation for Dudu at the Emirates (proving our class)
- Win against Chelsea (proving our belief)
That apart, there have been several moment which made us gasp in despair, jump in joy & go
beserk in ecstasy.
