The two nations clash at Wembley on Wednesday evening in a friendly international that Neymar feels will be a walk over for the five-time World Cup winners.

The Santos star also expects the Three Lions to provide very little competition for A Selecao at the upcoming World Cup in his homeland in 2014.

Ahead of the midweek clash, he said: "England are a good team with some very good players, but I don't look at them as one of our main rivals for the World Cup.

"Maybe they rely too much on Rooney, once you look past him you don't see an obvious player who can win them a match. But Brazil have got many players who can.

"England have players to do well, but do I think they have the same quality as Spain and Argentina? No. Look at Argentina. If (Lionel) Messi is not having a great game they still have Sergio Aguero and Carlos Tevez.

"And with Spain, if Andres Iniesta is having an off day, they have got Xavi and David Villa."

The 21-year-old also reiterated that his club future remains undecided - at least until after the World Cup.

Neymar added: "A lot of things have been written about my future but they cannot be true because no decision has been made. I'm happy at Santos now and I'm not even thinking about leaving.

"When the time comes I'll consider all offers from the big European clubs but talk I have already committed is wrong.

"It's nice when I hear top players saying I'll be the world's best player and I've got the talent. But it's important to stay humble so I need to carry on working hard and learning."
