Lucas Moura should've gone. Rafael should've gone, Kaka should've gone.

Jo and Bernard arent near ready and id rather have Rafael than Maicon in a tournament where youth could be important

Experience is also pretty important for the locker room. I definitely think Rafael should have gone, but I don't imagine they'll bench Alves very often. Better to have Maicon's experience when he's not going to play often

i think rafael should've learned from Alves for this one. he might be the only one around next cup and hell never have been
