Coming off the bench limits inconsistency. The dynamism he brings makes a difference. He's only been with the squad a year and you have to admit his upside is very much a plus.
Today's O Globo poll asks: Ramires merece ser titular da seleção? (Should Ramires start). He's attracted 79% of the vote. Interesting question from a serious publication considering that his inclusion would mean the exclusion of Felipe Melo (if Dunga adopts conventional wisdom).
I think he'll bring it. Stay tuned.
