The Lyon free-kick maestro would be a regular in most other country's sides, but he has had to settle for a bit-part role since making his debut for Brazil in 1999. Juninho has emerged from the shadow of his identically named team-mate, who was a star in the mid-1990s. He has been in Europe since 2001 and has helped Lyon become the dominant force in French football, winning five league titles in a row. Juninho has won nearly 40 caps, but will have to settle for a place on the bench in Germany due to the array of talent at the disposal of coach Carlos Alberto Parreira.
