Liverpool's Brazilian midfielder Lucas Leiva rates England as a World Cup threat.
The Reds midfielder is preparing for his country's prestigious friendly against England in Doha on Saturday.
Lucas said: "I think England are a top-level side. We have a lot of respect for them. We know all the players very well.
"They are playing for the big teams in maybe the best league in the world. It will be a good game for both sides to see the level they are at because we are so close to the World Cup now.
"Is this England's best chance of winning the World Cup? I think so. Of course, England have always had a good squad but I think the last results show the quality.
"Now they play in a team. They have great players like Frank Lampard and my Liverpool team-mate Steven Gerrard, who are always dangerous.
"They have been very impressive in qualifying for the World Cup."
