The Selecao have named a squad consisting of extremely talented players for the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar. Neymar Jr., Alisson Becker, Thiago Silva, and Casemiro, among many others, are set to feature for the most successful team in the history of the World Cup in the upcoming tournament.
England are also heading into this year’s World Cup with a strong set of players. The Three Lions boast some of the Premier League’s best, including Kane, Bukayo Saka, Alexander-Arnold, and many other talented footballers.
Both national outfits seem to have could make the World Cup final wit the wealth of talent at their disposal.

Brazil star Neymar intially snubs England while naming 2022 FIFA World Cup favorites
In an interview with The Guardian, Neymar listed his five favorites to win the World Cup in Qatar this year. The Brazilian attacker initially snubbed England, while confidently including his national side on the list as well. He said (via GOAL):
The Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) forward was then asked about England’s chances of winning the prestigious trophy, to which he replied:
Neymar’s first World Cup with Brazil (2014) ended in disappointment after being thrashed 7-1 by Germany in the semi-finals. The Selecao once again had their hearts broken in 2018 during the quarter-finals when they were knocked out by Belgium after losing 2-1.
The PSG forward will be determined to lift his first World Cup with his national side this year.
