Rivaldo says England have a great chance at winning Euro 2024.
The 2002 World Cup winner feels that the Three Lions have the talent and coaching to seriously challenge for European supremacy this summer, and that they will also be contenders in the 2026 World Cup.
Speaking to Betfair, the Brazilian gave his thoughts on the make-up of the current England side, who are preparing to host two international friendlies at Wembley Stadium over the next week.
First up for the Three Lions is a match against Brazil on Saturday, followed by a visit by Belgium on March 26.
Rivaldo expects the hosts to pose a big challenge for his countrymen.
"The England team is strong and there are great players throughout the squad, so it will be a tough game for Brazil at Wembley, it will be a great test," he said.
"England have a great chance of winning the European Championships in Germany this summer.
"Many good players have worn the England shirt and yet they still haven't won a major trophy since 1966. In that sense, they are similar to the situation Argentina were in before they won the World Cup in Qatar, they had many great players who deserved it which gave hope to fans and finally they won the title after many years."
"Under Gareth Southgate, England have given their fans hope, reached the final of Euro 2020, and are now ready to go one better and win a tournament. Everything is in place for them to have a great Euros this summer and a great World Cup in 2026.
"On Saturday, they will provide a big test for Brazil."
