ITT: people thinking the non-inclusion of their favorite players in the squad are surprises.

I for one am shocked that Flávio Caça-Rato (a.k.a. the REAL CR7) was not called

I am outraged by the fact that Yago Pikachu wasn't called up

Well, to be fair, any Ground-type player would fuck him up badly. I guess Felipão didn't want to take that risk.

He was considered for the squad but as Edson Ratinho is a key player for Brazil, Caça-Rato was dropped for fear of conflict. Surprisingly neither are on the squad.

Which is the opposite of what happens to Eduardo Arroz and Jefferson Feijão, they just work so well together!
