Brazil, which faces Switzerland in a friendly on Wednesday (TV: Live on Fox Soccer Channel & Fox Sports en Espanol, 2:30 pm ET), hopes to extend its four-game unbeaten run, which started after Dunga took the coaching helm following the Brazilians’ disappointing World Cup ’06 showing.
After a 1-1 tie at Norway, Dunga guided the Brazilians, who now play all their friendlies in Europe, to wins over Argentina (3-0), Wales (2-0) and Ecuador (2-1).
Injured defenders Lucio and Edmilson were late scratches from the Brazil roster:
Goalkeepers: Julio Cesar (Inter Milan/ITA), Helton (Porto/POR).
Defenders: Juan (Bayer Leverkusen/GER), Gladstone (Belo Horizonte), Luisao (Benfica/POR), Alex (PSV Eindhoven/NED), Cicinho (Real Madrid/ESP), Maicon (Inter Milan/ITA), Daniel Alves (Sevilla/ESP), Adriano (Sevilla/ESP), Carlinhos (Santos/BRA).
Midfielders: Gilberto Silva (Arsenal/ENG), Tinga (Borussia Dortmund/GER), Dudu Cearense (CSKA/RUS), Elano (Shakhtar Donetsk/UKR), Diego (Werder Bremen/GER), Ronaldinho (Barcelona/ESP), Kaka (AC Milan/ITA).
Forwards: Daniel Carvalho (CSKA/RUS), Robinho (Real Madrid/ESP), Rafael Sobis (Internacional Porto Alegre/BRA), Ricardo Oliveira (AC Milan/ITA).
