Brazil need to consign Kaka to the past

Kaka returned to the Brazil side for the match against Iraq last week in what was his first international appearance since World Cup 2010. The former Fifa World Player of the Year set up his side's second goal, and scored their third before being withdrawn with 20 minutes remaining. It could not have gone much better.
                                                          But as Brazil strolled to a 6-0 victory over an opposition that was so poor the game resembled a training session for much of the evening, you wondered if they really needed him. Moreover, many are still left wondering whether his presence offers Mano Menezes anything at all going into World Cup 2014.
                                                          Rather than the dawn of a second-coming, Kaka's return served only to remind us that Brazil should consign the Madrid man to the past for good. Profile alone is not enough to warrant an international reprieve.
