Ronaldo: 'Everything in Brazil's favour at World Cup'

Former Brazil striker Ronaldo feels that "everything" is in the hosts' favour at the upcoming World Cup.

Former Brazil striker Ronaldo has said that "everything" is in the hosts' favour at the upcoming World Cup.

The 37-year-old, who is the highest goalscorer in the tournament's history, feels that the Brazilian squad, along with home advantage, gives them the edge over everyone else.

"Brazil has a great chance to win, not only because we will play in our home country but because we have a very good team," he said at a PokerStars event in Sao Paolo.

"[We have] a solid defence, a midfield that battles very hard and an exceptional player in Neymar, so we have everything in our favour."

Brazil open the tournament against Croatia in 10 days' time and are also in a group with Cameroon and Mexico.
