Gilberto Aparecido da Silva, (-ptʒiɫˈbeʁtu ˈsiɫvɐ; born 7 October 1976) commonly known as Gilberto Silva, is a Brazilian footballer. He currently plays in Panathinaikos F.C. as a defensive midfielder.

Gilberto was raised in a poor family and as a child he balanced playing football with various labour jobs. He began his football career in 1997 with América Mineiro, where good form earned him a move to Atlético Mineiro in 2000. He became a star player for Atlético, playing for three years in the Brazilian Campeonato Brasileiro Série A. He came to particular prominence when he helped the Brazilian national team win the 2002 FIFA World Cup, playing in all seven of Brazil's matches.

In August 2002, for a fee of £4.5 million, he joined Arsenal, with whom he won the 2004 FA Premier League as an 'Invincible', and two FA Cup trophies. In his first five seasons with the club, he played 208 games and scored 23 goals. On 19 August 2006 he scored Arsenal's first competitive goal at the newly built Emirates Stadium. He was made vice-captain of Arsenal in 2006. During his time with the Gunners, Gilberto developed into one of the best defensive midfielders in Europe. In 2007, he was selected as Brazil captain for the Copa América tournament, which Brazil went on to win.

Ronaldo Nazário foi o grande nome da Copa de 2002, pois todos duvidavam de sua capacidade física de disputar o mundial, devido a 2 anos de inatividade por causa de suas cirurgias no joelho. Os 3 R's brilharam: Ronaldo, Ronaldinho Gaúcho e Rivaldo. Felipão foi o inesquecível técnico do Brasil. Wikipedia, a enciclopédia livre da Internet pt.wikipedia.org A Copa do Mundo (português brasileiro) ou Campeonato do Mundo de Futebol / Mundial (português europeu), é um torneio de futebol masculino realizado a cada quatro anos pela FIFA. A primeira edição aconteceu em 1930, no Uruguai, com a vitória da seleção da casa. Nesse primeiro mundial, não havia torneio eliminatório, e os países foram convidados para o torneio. Nos anos de 1942 e 1946, a Copa não ocorreu devido à Segunda Guerra Mundial. O Brasil é o país que alcançou mais títulos mundiais - cinco (1958,1962,1970,1994 e 2002) - eo único a ter vencido o torneio fora do seu continente. à também o único país a ter participado de todos os Campeonatos. Segue-se a seleção da Itália, tetracampeã (1934,1938,1982 e 2006); a Alemanha, tricampeã (1954,1974 e 1990); os bicampeões Argentina (vencedora em 1978 e 1986) e Uruguai (vencedor em 1930 e em 1950); e, por fim, com um único título, as seleções da Inglaterra, campeã em 1966, e da França, campeã em 1998.
