Iraq prepares to take on the Socceroos as they participate in a international friendly match against Brazil at 2:30 p.m. ET.
Real Madrid midfielder Kaka marks his return to the Brazil national team for the first time since the 2010 World Cup.
Coach Mano Menezes has hinted that Kaka would get a chance in midfield, even though Chelsea's Oscar has recently taken over as the team's playmaker.
Kaka's return came as a surprise to many because he hadn't been playing regularly for Real Madrid, but Menezes said the player's dedication in practice and past experience with Brazil played a role in his decision.
Brazil, which is not playing World Cup qualifiers because it will host the 2014 tournament, will also play Japan in Poland on Tuesday.
Following this friendly, Iraq travels home to take on a struggling Australia side in World Cup qualifying. Given how jumbled their qualifying group is and how poorly Australia is playing, the Iraqis have a very real chance to qualify for the World Cup.
