Cristiano Ronaldo tips Spain and Brazil as World Cup favourites
However, the former Manchester United star, who has scored 49 goals in 110 international appearances, does not believe Portugal or England will be among the teams who will be battling it out in the later stages of the tournament Nike Hypervenom Phantom Shoes For Sale.
He told AS: 'Brazil is our sister country where they speak Portuguese and I hope to enjoy it out there.
'[Portugal] must take it one game at a time, nothing is impossible in football. The strongest teams are Spain, Brazil, France, Italy, Argentina. Any team could go on and win it but the two big favourites are Spain and Brazil.'
Ronaldo has helped Portugal to the final of Euro 2004, where they lost to Greece, and the semi-final of the 2006 World Cup where they were beaten by France, but he is not putting any pressure on himself to carry his country this time.
He said: 'I won't be putting myself under any pressure; I don't have to prove anything to anyone Discount F50 Soccer Sale Online. I've spent many years playing at the highest level.'
