Kaka returns to theme park mecca, at least on TV

ORLANDO, Fla. — Brazilian soccer great Kaka may have left Orlando's Major League Soccer team but he's reappearing in the theme park mecca during the World Cup, at least on TV.

Universal Parks & Resorts says Kaka is appearing in a commercial starting Saturday that shows off Universal's most popular attractions.

The commercial shows Kaka dribbling a soccer ball throughout the park and taking a shot at a goal guarded by a Transformer.

Universal says the commercial will air in the United States, Brazil and Mexico for the duration of the World Cup.

Kaka played three seasons with Orlando's soccer team before leaving the team last October and then retiring last December.
