Dunga’s Last Stand?

Dunga could be seeing his days numbred as coach of the Brazilian national team.   The road is not very easy for the Canarinha as they face an inspired Chilean side in Santiago, they wil then follow that up with a fairly accessible match  against Bolivia at home.  The result sounds accessible at least on paper.

Seven players from the bronze medal-winning side will take part in this round of qualifiers- including Ronaldinho.   The Brazilian media  obviously criticized the inclusion of the AC Milan midifielder, while his teammate Kaká  will not be.  Robinho will be back in the lineup.

Currently Brazil is in fifth place in the South American qualifiers with  nine points earned in the first six matches.   If Brazil were to fall out of the fifth spot or not get back into automatic qualification spots, the former Brazilian captain could see himself watching the October matches against Venezuela and Colombia from a TV screen at his house.
