Brazil's World Cup squad has just four strikers!

BRAZIL'S WORLD Cup squad has just four strikers. Sevilla’s Luis Fabiano, Santos’s Robinho, Wolfsburg's Grafite and Villarreal's Nilmar. This bunch will hardly send a shudder down opposition defenders; that job will probably be left to the likes of Kaka and their marauding full backs.

It is shocking to see that there isn’t a single forward from one of the top European clubs in the squad.  Nor do they have a striker, who’s lead any of the major leagues in goal scoring. And not that Dunga has left some great strikers at home. Ronaldo and Adriano are way past their best.  There is the precocious Pato of AC Milan but he hasn’t quite  started setting the Seria A alight with his goals.

Brazil have an acute shortage of world –class strikers. The assembly line of the world’s greatest exporter of football has stalled after the likes of Ronaldo and Adriano.

Look at what the other teams have:

Bitter rivals Argentina have Carlos Tevez of Man City and formerly of Man Utd, Lionel Messi of Barcelona, Diego Milito of inter Milan, Kun Aguero of Athletico Madrid and Gonzalo Higuain of Real Madrid.
