Brazil's roster:
Goalkeepers: Julio Cesar (Inter Milan), Gomes (Tottenham Hotspur), Victor (Gremio)
Defenders: Maicon (Inter Milan), Daniel Alves (Barcelona), Alex (Chelsea), Juan (AS Roma), Lucio (Bayern Munich), Luisao (Benfica), Kleber (Internacional), Andre Santos (Corinthians).
Midfielders: Anderson (Manchester United), Gilberto Silva (Panathinaikos), Josue (VfL Wolfsburg), Ramires (Cruzeiro), Elano (Manchester City), Felipe Melo (Fiorentina), Julio Baptista (AS Roma), Kaka (AC Milan)
Forwards: Alexandre Pato (AC Milan), Luis Fabiano (Sevilla), Nilmar (Internacional), Robinho (Manchester City)

Victor, Ramires, Felipe Melo, and Andre Santos are all uncapped while Nilmar has three. Dunga has said form is more important than names, and has left Ronaldinho off the squad for this reason. Notable omissions are Grafite and Diego.
In my opinion, this is a young and relatively inexperienced Brazil squad. We played them much tougher than than the 4-2 score in Chicago two years ago indicates, and that was against a better squad. In the past teams have treated this tournament like a series of friendlies for their B/C teams, and it seems like Dunga has no plans to deviate from this formula. Depending on the roster Italy puts out, I optimistically say 4 points should be our goal.
Egypt is impossible for me to gauge, almost all of their players are in the domestic league, and they are two-time African champs. There are many more quality teams in CAF than CONCACAF, and one team always misses out on WC qualifying that is a major surprise.
Seeing this roster, and knowing Bradley is trying to take our A team, I would say:
-Italy: Tie
-Brazil: Win
-Egypt: Loss
