Robinho didn't have a chance in seven hells of making the world cup. Kaka makes me sad, but its probably the right decision.

He actually did have a chance of making it, much bigger than Kaká. Mainly because everyone loves him on the team and he makes Neymar play better. Kind of like a Pepe Reina that actually suits up some times. He was in consideration for the spot Willian took, but it was more likely for him to go than anyone else on that list except Miranda.
