England boss Roy Hodgson believes "African teams have a stronger chance than European teams" of winning next year's World Cup in Brazil. Whichever five African sides make it through the qualifiers, Hodgson feels they will have an advantage because of the climate.
"And there are many excellent African players out there now," he added.
"They play in the top European leagues and that makes the African nations very strong.
"Nigeria have traditionally been one of the strongest, with some famous names in their team."
