Two days ahead of the FIFA World Cup draw in Cape Town, Germany legend Franz Beckenbauer is alleged to have made a controversial remark aimed at Brazil and Manchester City star Robinho.

Furthermore, Beckenbauer stated that Fabio Capello's Three Lions enjoyed a more successful qualifying campaign than Brazil.

 
He is quoted by the Daily Express to have said: "England did a fantastic job in qualification.

"Brazil? I don't think so. They have one striker [Luis Fabiano], then Kaka a bit behind. And then you have Robinho.

"He can play in a circus but he's not a team player."
