The last international break before the summer of the European Championships and the Copa America sees two sides with good shots of winning their respective competitions take each other on in a friendly.

England secured qualification for the Euros this summer by winning their group. Group C saw The Three Lions compete against the likes of Italy, Ukraine, North Macedonia and Malta. In eight games, England won six and drew two, finishing the group unbeaten and six points above Italy.

The Three Lions will be looking to avenge their Final loss in the 2021 European Championships. After a run-in that included Germany, Ukraine and Denmark, England fell at the last hurdle on penalties to Italy.

Brazil, on the other hand, will be competing in the Copa America. The Canary Squad qualified through their CONMEBOL status. The last Copa America, back in 2021 saw Brazil make it all the way to the Final, but losing 1 - 0 to rivals Argentina.

The last tournament Brazil competed in was the 2022 World Cup. This tournament was one to forget for Brazil. The Canary Squad dispatched South Korea in the Round of 16 but crashed out on penalties in the Quarter-finals against Croatia.

England and Brazil have met 26 times in their histories, with the first meeting coming back in an international friendly in 1966. Brazil have the better record in the fixture with 11 wins in comparison to England’s four wins. However, a draw is also a very common outcome in this fixture, happening on 11 occasions.

In fact three of the last five games in the fixture have ended in a draw, both England and Brazil also picking up a win each. The fixture usually sees goals, as only one team has been on the scoresheet on two occasions in the last seven meetings.

Back in the European Qualifiers, England took on Italy at Wembley for the first time since the Final loss in 2021. Gianluca Scamacca gave Italy the lead in the 15th minute but a penalty from Kane levelled the game before halftime. Marcus Rashford put England ahead just before the hour and another goal from Kane secured the 3 - 1 win and revenge for England.

The next time out saw Brazil take the lead just five minutes into the second half through a goal from Gabriel Magalhaes. However, an 85th minute goal from Eduard Bello secured a 1 - 1 draw for Venezuela.

The trip to Uruguay was one to forget for The Canary Squad with a late first half goal from Darwin Nunez giving Uruguay the lead at halftime. Nicolas de la Cruz then scored in the second half to wrap up a 2 - 0 win for Uruguay, with Brazil failing to register a single shot on target.

It was another loss for Brazil, this one cooked up by Colombia. Brazil opened the scoring early in the fourth minute through Martinelli, but a late double from Luis Diaz grabbed a 2 - 1 win for Colombia.
