England are set to confirm their controversial friendly date with Brazil.
The Mail on Sunday says Fabio Capello's team could be playing the five-time world champions in Doha, Qatar- 3,200 miles and three time zones away if they are free on the weekend of November 14, the day scheduled by FIFA for the first leg of the European play-offs for those finishing second in their World Cup groups.
The FA will not confirm as much.
"Any plans for additional fixtures would only be discussed if we qualify for the World Cup," said a spokesman.
But the Qatari FA have let it be known that plans are in place for a showpiece clash.
