Wenger names England as one of World Cup favourites

Former Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has named England as one of the three teams that could win the World Cup.

Wenger is a pundit for BeIn Sports during the tournament, which has allowed him to provide his opinion on the teams and different players.

The Three Lions booked a quarterfinals clash with Sweden after beating Colombia via penalty shootout on Tuesday night.

"My heart favourite is of course France," he said on Bein Sports.

"I said many times that no country under 40 million people has won the World Cup since 1954, since after the Second World War.

"But I ask you, can you cut out Belgium? They are smaller country but they have the quality. And Croatia have the quality.

"But I would say England - nobody speaks about England but they are dangerous - Brazil or France."
