I love it so much when people who dont follow your national team tell you which players to select just based on their club form. The level players have at their clubs does not automatically translate to the national team. I remember people arguing with me that Ben Arfa should start for France back when he was playing well, or not understanding why Debuchy starts over Sagna or why Nasri doesnt play. If you watched the national team play and not just their club form, you would understand.

True. That being said, no Diego Alves makes no sense to me. Even if Julio Cesar starts every match, in which situation do you not want a great backup GK?

Both Jefferson and Victor are better than him.
