Parreira named quartet Ronaldinho, Ronaldo, Adriano, and Kaka to start their World Cup bid who will be playing Croatia, Australia, and Japan respectively.

I am not sure if the tune of Brazil is hitting the quarter note spread amongst all four of them because of Ronaldo’s status barely two months ago deemed as overweight and having no desire to win anymore. Though we have seen far fewer reports on his status for the last 8 weeks which makes me wonder whether Brazil is putting him out of the spotlight so he can focus on his physical conditioning in time for the World Cup.

As for Kaka and Adriano, It remains to be seen if they can consistently play at a level comparable to Ronaldinho.

For now, Brazil’s quarter note isn’t as cemented as a whole note anchored on Ronaldinho.
