Brazilian forward Ricardo Kaka said he still believes in his World Cup chances but refused to rule out leaving AC Milan amid speculation he could opt to play in the United States from next season. Kaka has appeared only sporadically for Brazil in recent years but was called into Luiz Felipe Scolari's squad for friendlies with Italy and Russia last year.
After scoring a brace in a 3-0 win over Chievo on Saturday in his 300th game for the Rossoneri, Kaka said: "There's still time for the World Cup. I just have to keep playing well with Milan.
"On May 7 the squad will be announced, and I believe I'm still in with a chance."
Kaka, meanwhile, refused to rule out leaving the club at the end of what has been a torrid campaign for the Serie A giants. The Brazilian, who won the Champions League and the Ballon D'Or while playing for Milan from 2003-2009, returned to Milan at the start of the current season following an unsuccessful spell with Real Madrid.
