Ronaldinho expects World Cup call for Brazil

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ROME — Ronaldinho, who has been left off Brazil’s roster in recent matches, says he’s sure he can persuade coach Dunga to include him for the World Cup.

Ronaldinho played in the last two World Cups but has been bypassed by Dunga, who has been emphasizing team play above individual skills.

In an article to be published Wednesday in the weekly publication "Chi," Ronaldinho predicts he will be a member of the team and says Brazil will win its sixth World Cup title.
