Recently, Brazilian star Rivaldo talked about England, which has performed well recently. Rivaldo believes england are also among the favourites to win next year's World Cup.
Rivaldo said: "England almost won the European Championship, which proves how good they are and how good they are, proves the progress they have made. So I expect that at next year's World Cup in Qatar, they will be a very strong opponent. ”
"In my opinion, England are one of the main favourites to be able to win the Cup in Qatar and they pose a big threat to Brazil, especially after this European Championship. I'm sure they're likely to reach another important final soon, and they deserve to be favourites alongside Brazil, France and Italy. ”
"In Brazil, we have a lot of respect for England and I remember we had some fierce encounters in the past. In the 2002 World Cup, we beat them, but it was a very tough game. Of course, I think Brazil is also strong and we can beat any of the strong European teams, but those games are always very tough and we need to focus. ”
