NEWS… BUT NOT AS YOU KNOW IT
Neymar forgot about England when picking his contenders to win the World Cup this winter, then chose Jadon Sancho as one of two English players he loves, after the winger missed out on the squad.
The Brazilian clearly does not have England anywhere near the front of his mind as he heads to Qatar, with his country expected to go far and potentially win their first World Cup since 2002.
The Paris Saint-Germain forward reckons there are a few other serious contenders to lift the trophy in December, although England did not spring to mind when he was naming them.
‘I believe the favourites are Argentina, Germany, Spain and France,’ Neymar told The Telegraph. ‘I think those four along with Brazil are fully capable of reaching the final.’
