RIO DE JANEIRO - Former world player of the year Kaka said Friday that while Brazils current first choice strikers bear no comparison to former greats like Romario and Ronaldo, they are good enough to win Brazils sixth World Cup. Anthony Chickillo Jersey . "Those two, Romario and Ronaldo are from a different level, but Fred and Jo are not bad. Fred has had a slow start to the World Cup, but he picked it up in the last game," said the 32-year-old AC Milan midfielder, who narrowly missed out on selection for the Brazilian squad. "Remember Fred had a great 2013 Confederations Cup," he said. "Later in the tournament, I think he will be a very important player for us." Speaking on the eve of Brazils Round of 16 match against Chile, Kaka urged his former teammates to forget previous World Cup meetings with their South American neighbour. "Chile is a very different team to the one in South Africa. A lot more of their squad are playing in Europe and they have a lot of experienced players," he told a news conference. Brazil beat Chile 3-0 in the 2010 World Cup to maintain a record of having knocked out La Roja in every tournament in which the nation has made it through to the knockout stages. If Brazil do make it past Chile, Kaka pinpointed Columbia and France, a "team which is growing into the tournament", as sides to watch out for. However, the man with 87 international caps sees the biggest threat to a Brazil win coming from Germany. "They are so dangerous. I think they will probably reach the final. Brazil v Germany is the final I want to see."

TORONTO -- Martin Laurendeau is looking forward to Canadas Davis Cup team having another chance to face Japan. Canada will host Japan in a World Group first-round match in 2015. It will be a rematch of their first-round clash last year when Japan defeated Canada 4-1 to reach the World Group quarter-finals for the first time in its history. But the Canadian squad was missing its top two singles players, Milos Raonic of Thornhill, Ont., and Vancouvers Vasek Pospisil, due to injury. "We had our share of injuries when we played Japan . . . thats the way it goes, thats sports," Laurendeau, the Canadian team captain, said during a conference call Thursday. "We know when we have a full team that we can take on anybody, especially at home. "Were really looking forward to having another chance to play at home in front of a good crowd." The host city and venue will be determined at a later date. Japan holds a 6-0 record over Canada, with their previous meeting prior to 2014 coming back in 1938. CCanada is seeded ninth in the tournament while Japan is ranked 12th. Tegray Scales Jersey. Canada remained in the World Group with a win over Colombia last weekend in Halifax. The Canadian team featured Raonic, who is ranked sixth on the ATP singles list, Pospisil (43rd) and Frank Dancevic of Niagara Falls, Ont., (147th), as well as doubles ace Daniel Nestor of Toronto (ranked third in doubles). Japans team features U.S. Open finalist Kei Nishikori, who is ranked eighth on the ATP list. "Its basically the same team were facing but it will be different conditions," Laurendeau said. "Well be able to play back-to-back home ties now, which is good. "You kind of need that sometimes to build momentum. We just had a good win in Halifax well have another chance to play at home so thats a good start to the year." The official draw for the 2015 World Group was conducted Thursday evening from the ITF Annual General Meeting in Dubai. The first round ties will take place from March 6-8, 2015.
