Without doubt in my opinion there is only one real choice, Ronaldinho Gaucho. I know he didnt play in the Copa America but (bare in mind im a Barca fan) he single handedly turned around the fortunes of FC Barcelona. I truly believe that not only is he the best Brazilian of 2004 but the best in the world! So lets hope FIFA recognise him.

Carlos Parreria has had mixed fortunes this year. Obviously winning the Copa America with most of his first team missing was a massive gamble, which paid off.
But some how i think that he really would have liked to have gone into the New Year 1st in the SA world cup qualifying table. I think he is an excellent coach and the CBF should definitly stick with him to the world cup. Especially as Scolari looks set to travel to Germany with Portugal. He (Scolari) would be my first choice coach!

As for Carlos Parreria's team picking abilities; I think he's doing a good job. I would have liked him to have brought in some of the younger players. Lets give Robinho some caps, as it looks like he will be a major player in the 2006 WC. Lets play him against Argentina and scare the hell out of them!

The best brazilian team this year is definitly Atlético-PR (which kills me to say as a Flamengista). I wish i had bet on them at the start of the season!!

As brilliant as Ronaldinho is, im going to say Adriano his performance in the Copa America was outstanding and he is continuing this at Inter Milan, Serie A is the most defensive league in the world so to be the current top scorer is something special.
