Would love to aurally hear the portuguese but while we're limited, was curious if you can give us a 101 pronounciation check up blue-kun.

Well, I started out trying to explain in words, but since it wasn't really working that well, thought I could record myself saying both words. So, here you go:
Juiz and
Seleção.
Notice the "ç" in Seleção? In Portuguese, "c" with a vowel after it really sounds like the "ca" in car, as you've said. But when you use
Ç instead, the "C" has the sound of "S", like in "Selection".

does it match the pronunciation in portuguese for the word 'chosen' or 'selected'?

Oh, by the way, Seleção doesn't mean "chosen" or "selected", it actually stands for "Selection", but I guess it makes sense, since apparently it's a group of chosen people, right? If you wanted to say "chosen" it'd probably be "selecionado" (seleccionado in Portugal) or "escolhido".
Anyway, hopefully this helps, and you're able to figure out what I said since my microphone is in pretty bad shape right now...
