Kaka Axed By Brazil
15 February 2012
Kaka has paid the price for his failure to cement a first-team spot at Real Madrid.
The former World Player of the Year has been omitted from the Brazil squad for their friendly this month with Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Kaka was dropped along with a host of high-profile Selecao stars, like Alex Pato, Robinho, Maicon and Manchester United's Da Silva twins.
Kaka's axing does not bode well for his chances of playing for Brazil at their home World Cup in 2014.
He has been reticent to swallow his pride and seek game time at another club, but perhaps the time is coming for Kaka to make a painful decision.
Pressed on his reason's for the graceful forward's omission, Brazil coach Menezes said: "I don't have an explanation for all the players who didn't make the squad.
"I really respect Kaka but this is a matter of an opinion. Perhaps his recent performances didn't convince me."
Brazil: Julio Cesar (Inter Milan), Diego Alves (Valencia), Rafael (Santos), Marcelo (Real Madrid), Daniel Alves, Adriano (both Barcelona), Alex Sandro (Porto), Thiago Silva (AC Milan), David Luiz (Chelsea), Luisao (Benfica), Dede (Vasco da Gama), Danilo (Porto), Elias (Sporting), Fernandinho (Shakhtar Donetsk), Hernanes (Lazio), Sandro (Tottenham Hotspur), Paulo Henrique Ganso (Santos), Lucas (Sao Paulo), Ronaldinho (Flamengo), Neymar (Santos), Leandro Damiao (Internacional), Jonas (Valencia), Hulk (Porto)

Kaka wl stay at madrid and the coach wl not convince brasil FA. That means he wl be fired like dumga. Kaka is playing enaf and he wont care about liars. Only injury kept him out. Now he is back 4 real and nt going anywhere. Hala madridista Hala. HALA 10 POINTS GAP HALA.

This is a clear selection based on personal preferences by the coach.

When was the last time Sandro played? Jonas hasn't been enjoying regular action.. This coach has personal issues with the likes of Kaka, Robinho and the others that were dropped..
