Brazil and England was going to be a reserve festival, as injuries took away many players from

Dunga announced today the players who will play the last 2 matches of the year (against England
and Oman). And he had a few surprises. Given that he decided not to call players from Brazilian

It was bound to happy eventually. I don't know about you guys, but after the embarrassment of
last season's finish, I was dreading the oncoming ~dramah~, :tearz:, and angsty soap operas from

Aston Villa, Tottenham, Fulham, Milan...Abby Clancy - what the hell is Peter Crouch's appeal?
