The former England coach is hopeful that one day his former side can win, but it won't happen in Brazil according to the Swede.<br />

"I don't believe they can win the World Cup in Brazil,&rdquo; said Eriksson.<br />

"There are a lot of young players coming in. Maybe in Russia. I think it's easier to win it there than in Brazil. For a European team to win in South America is not easy.<br />

"Expectation does not seem to be what it was in the past and I think that's very good for the team.<br />

"The quarter-finals would be very good. It is time for a semi-final or final."<br />
