Orlando City fans may know their star man as Kaka, but the title "Captain Ricardo Izecson dos Santos Leite" also has a pretty nice ring to it (and not just because it sounds like the name of a Portuguese pirate).

Kaka, who week in and week out dons the skipper's band for the Lions, will once again lead the MLS All-Stars after the Brazilian was voted captain of the team in a poll conducted on Snapchat.

He similarly claimed the armband last year after winning the vote in 2015 and will now guide his league cohorts against Arsenal at Avaya Stadium on Thursday after garnering 47.62 percent of the vote in 2016.

While pillaging and plundering might not be his objectives on the night, he'll certainly look to bag at least another goal and assist after he helped dispatch Tottenham 2-1 last season.
