David Beckham has warned England that they face stiff competition from three giants of international football to win this year's World Cup in Qatar.
The ex-Three Lions captain reckons that holders France, five-time winners Brazil and Lionel Messi 's Argentina will challenge Gareth Southgate and co, while also tipping Euro 2020 semi-finalists Denmark to be a dark horse. Beckham, who played and scored at three World Cups across his glittering career, is an ambassador for the controversial tournament - a role which will earn him a reported £150million - and has issued his early predictions ahead of Friday's draw.
Speaking to FIFA's official website during the final round of qualifiers this week, the former Manchester United star was asked who could rival England and replied: "When you think about the World Cup you automatically talk about Brazil, Argentina and France. They are all great nations who have won many tournaments.
