Most of the squads have already been posted, so I'll just link to the
relevant threads and highlight the players that are interesting from a
Fantasy Scout point of view.

As usual, data about pickable players are from Wikipedia, so they
should be checked.

Let's start with...

Interesting. Only one player picked. Collectively, we've been shooting
a massive blank for Brazil. Is this because the roster includes only
players who earned their first two caps before FS started, or did we
miss out on players that eventually became ineligible, or is it all
due to Dunga's idiosyncratic selections?

The youngest player in the squad (Ramires) is 23, so it's not that
suprising that there aren't youngsters recently scouted by us in South
Africa' 23.

Tchau!

The former, I guess. The only selected players who were eligible at
the beginning of the game (and I'm including 2007, AKA the "Jesus vs.
the Vellas" year) are (but I could miss some!) Thiago Silva and
Ramires (other than Bastos and Grafite, of course).
