The Selecao, five times World Cup winners never mind the number of Continental titles and other trophies they've comes across is Undoubtably Footballs most succesful team and catalyst of entertainment.

At any occasion where the Cannarinha's take the field a quality performance of great technique and talent is always expected or else the criticism that follows might tarnish a players reputation or alter ego for the rest of his footballing career as Inter's Adriano has had to learn earlier on this year.

Any team that boast so many famous names in the footballing world including Ronaldinho, Kaka, Werder Bremen's Diego, Alexandre Pato & Robinho would have to be tipped as heavy favorites to lift the upcoming 2010 Mondial coming up next year in South Africa.

So as another Succesful but experimenting campaing closes Dunga's men heading into the Confederations Cup in June, join me in determining who has been the teams Player of the Season after i nominate five worthy candidates.

1) Julio Cesar: Inter's Goalkeeper has been incredible for Club and Country this year. One of the few Players I'd day say has been Worthy of an Accolade like the Golden Ball or Fifa World Player of the Year this Campaign. when it comes to the Selecao his incredible performances against sides like  Italy 2-0, Ecuador 1-1 (in Quito), and Ireland 1-0, Chile 3-0, Peru 1-1 coupled with the many minutes he went without conceding a goal beforehand speaks Volumes.

2) Robinho: Many of you might want to argue my choosing of Robson for the Second Place; given his somewhat lacklustre form for the Citizens this year.. but it is almost impossible to say that the small sized forward hasn't elevated his game for Brazil this year. just to prove how good he's been i cant even remember the last time he had a bad game for Brazil. Ok, i do he wasn't his best against Peru in Porto Alegre  but you get the gist. in a year in which he had to prove his Selecao credentials ahead of the World Cup he did just that by chipping in many Assist & Goals. many gems that seem irreplaceable and are great highlight reels on Youtube are his goals against Ireland, that pure class Strike againts Italy and a Golazo of the highest order that arrived away at the peril of Venezuela. if you're still unconvinced he was great this year you have got something against him.

3) Elano: A player in which Dunga seems to have installed full confidence has done nothing wrong to eclipse his coaches faith in him. always a hard worker and Wonderful performer for Brazil the Man City man despite his bench Status in the Prem has come of age for Brazil becoming a great partner alongside Kaka or Ronaldinho and surprisingly an alternative Goal scorer with strikes against Elite opposition like Portugal and Italy. he is also a masterclass on Dead Ball situations which is always a great Quality to have as a Selecao player.

4) Maicon: See Julio Cesar and just add the praise to This tireless RB please. ok im joking but Seriously where would Inter or Brazil be without Maicon, great defender and Solid Provider of the ball. and can score as well. also it must be said that he keeps Barcelona's Dani Alves on the bench; need i say more?
