Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson, who has had a bet on Brazil to win the World Cup, believes the South Americans will lose to England tomorrow.

"My cash is on Brazil to win the tournament but, now, I honestly believe that England will beat them," Ferguson was quoted as saying.

"When the fans behave themselves properly, it takes enormous pressure off the players."
