BEST PLAYER?
Latin Business Chronicle: Who will be the best player at the event ?

Why they will: Brazil has five World Cup titles including two of the last five. They’re full of talented forwards (Kaka, Luis Fabiano and Alexandre Pato) and they only lost twice in their CONMEBOL qualifying.
Why they won’t: Everyone knows Kaka is the team’s best player. He gives Brazil toughness, experience and firepower in their offensive attack.

He is ball-possession oriented so will he pick guys that will be in cahoots with the Real Madrid playmaker?
