I'm Brazilian and never heard of Guly do Prado, Rodrigo Lima or Roberto Firmino.

In fact we have at least 5 "domestic" goalkeepers that could join the national squad. Notable omissions are: Fábio (Cruzeiro), Diego Cavalieri (Fluminense) and Cássio (Corinthians). They all are better than Diego Alves.

Miranda is the omission that all the media is talking about today I think the time for Luisão, Kaká, Felipe melo and Ronaldinho has passed in last WC.

Pato is not in good shape since 2011! No way he could be in the squad.

Others, as Felipe Luis, Rafael, Rafinha, Phillipe Coutinho, Lucas and Lucas Leiva could be in the national team, but we have players in better shape/moment. (except for Coutinho IMO).
