well done Gomes he's had a marvellous second half to the season so much so IMO he's been the best keeper in the PL during that period and has now desevedly so, forced his way back into the Brazil squad and hopefully he's carries on his exceptional form into next season and becomes Brazil's number one.:clap:

Dunga has included five Premier League players in his Brazil squad for the country’s two upcoming World Cup qualifiers and the Confederations Cup, but neither Ronaldo nor Ronaldinho have made the cut.
The five-time World Cup winners face Uruguay and Paraguay on June 6 and 10 before travelling to South Africa for the Confederations Cup which commences on June 14.
Ronaldinho has not been included after a difficult season at Milan while the all-time record scorer in World Cup finals, Ronaldo, has also missed out despite recapturing something approaching his best form with 10 goals in 16 games following a move to Corinthians.
Dunga has, however, included Tottenham keeper Heurelho Gomes, Manchester City pair Elano and Robinho, Manchester United midfielder Anderson and Chelsea defender Alex.
Barcelona’s marauding right back Dani Alves has also been called up despite nursing a foot injury that has seen him sidelined for the remaining two games of the Catalan club’s league campaign.
Full Brazil squad: Julio Cesar (Inter), Gomes (Tottenham), Victor (Gremio); Maicon (Inter), Daniel Alves (Barcelona), Kleber (Internacional), Andre Santos (Corinthians), Alex (Chelsea), Juan (Roma), Lucio (Bayern Munich), Luisao (Benfica); Anderson (Manchester United), Gilberto Silva (Panathinaikos), Josue (Wolfsburg), Ramires (Cruzeiro), Elano (Manchester City), Felipe Melo (Fiorentina), Julio Baptista (Roma), Kaka (Milan); Alexandre Pato (Milan), Luis Fabiano (Sevilla), Nilmar (Internacional), Robinho (Manchester City).

Great news, though he won't oust Cesar. Julio Cesar have had a fantastic season in Seri A and is by many jornos seen as just as good as Buffon.

Great news for the big guy. Although long trips away during the season are not ideal, it cheers me that he has one over the critics who mock his ability with such things as "if he was any good, he'd be in the Brazilian squad".

Yep its well deserved. Over the last couple of seasons Julio Cesar has been arguably the best keeper in the world though, so he will probably have to be happy with being number 2 barring injury.

Great news and this will give him a major confidence boost. He'll struggle to replace Cesar as number 1 but i think he's Brazils best 2nd choice keeper. I knew a move to the Premier League would give his International chances a bigger boost.

Its just like watching Brazil

Diego is exactly the type of attacking midfield player we need. 20 goals for Bremen this season and as they have finished 10th in Budesliga i can't see him wanting to hang around there. IMO our number one priority signing this summer.

Amazing player, and i actually think he would do well in the EPL as he has got strength as well as the obvious ability. I think he is pretty nailed on to move to Juve though
