Brazilian striker Edmundo announced yesterday that he will rethink on his retirement from the soccer world.

"I am like an actress. I am open to any offer. I may look like a hypocrite after all I said about retiring, but if a tempting deal presents, I will seriously consider it," said Edmundo, who announced retirement at the beginning of the season.

"Over the past couple of days, I cried while listening to the advice of my close friends. They, as well as me, think that the best way to close out my career would be in a positive one. For this reason, I may play a while longer."

The Vasco Da Gama striker said the fact that his club fell to the second division of the Brazilian championship made him change his mind.
