  1. Hello, first of all thanks for these useful posts about South Africa 2009. But as far as I know, Ramires has never played in Seleçao. I think, he should be on the first callups list...

    Anyway, thanks again.

  2. Hi erol,
    Thanks for the comment,

    According to FIFA.com, Ramires made an appearance for Brazil against Uruguay a few days ago, replacing Elano in the 66th minute on June 6, 2009. Here is the Link.

    Thanks for reading!

  3. Oh, i didn't watch that game. Sorry for wrong information. :)

    Your blog is great and I have to confess that I use some of your posts and publish them on my blog, but it's in Turkish. I hope it's not a problem for you.

    Bye bye
