Brazil superstar Neymar Jr thinks that England captain Harry Kane is an 'incredible' talent and that the Three Lions are capable of winning the World Cup.
Neymar is the talisman in what is an extremely strong Brazil squad. If all things go as planned, they'll be expecting to win the competition for a record sixth time.
Nevertheless, there's plenty of strong opposition in their way, and Neymar believes that plenty of sides are in with a shout of winning it. He told The Telegraph: "I believe the favourites are Argentina, Germany, Spain, and France. I think those four, along with Brazil, are fully capable of reaching the final."

He then went on to mention how good England are and that Kane, as well as Jadon Sancho, are players he admires: "I really forgot about England, but obviously they have a chance! I really like Kane and Sancho. They're two incredible players, and I have a special love for them because I like players that have their qualities."
Sancho, 22, has endured a difficult start to the 2022-23 campaign so far. Thus, it came as little surprise when it was announced that he had been left out of Southgate's 26-man squad.
But captain Kane is ready to lead the line for his country and be among the Golden Boot contenders once again. Kane's six goals in Russia in 2018 was enough to see him win the honour four years ago.
England made the semi-final of that competition, but Gareth Southgate will be hoping that his side will go deep into the tournament for a second time this year, especially after the Three Lions lost to Italy in the Euro 2020 final.
