England and Brazil both travel to Qatar to face each other in an international friendly building up to next year's World Cup in South Africa. The teams are rated very highly and are in the top three favourites for the tournament, both qualifying top of their groups. Brazil have failed to win either of their last two games, losing in Bolivia and most recently drawing 0-0 with Venezuela, but before that they won eleven matches in a row and will be glad for a chance to get back to winning ways. England will be eager to test themselves against such a good side, as there is always a feeling that they struggle against top quality opposition.
