5 teams that England will want to avoid at the World Cup

#2 Brazil

England will look to avoid Brazil at any cost

In the entire qualification rounds around the globe, Tite's Brazil were the best of the lot. The free-scoring Brazilians made a mockery of the toughest qualification group by being one of the earliest teams to book their place in the 2018 showdown.

A terrifying attacking unit along with an experienced backline, Brazil are one of the favourites to win the title and are itching to forget the embarrassment from the last World Cup.

This English side is still a work in progress with Gareth Southgate still being unsure of his best XI and his trusted formation. Whereas, Brazil have a settled look in their team composition and can tear England apart on their day.

Key player: Neymar

Manager: Tite

Head to head: Played - 26; England - 4, Brazil - 11, Draw - 11
