Pele has written off England's chances of winning the 2010 World Cup and said: 'Spain are now the best team in the world.'
The legendary Brazilian believes the European champions can also clinch the world crown but warned it will not be easy.
He said: 'Spain are the most prepared team. They have great players, they are playing well and are on a roll. They will be the team to beat in the World Cup for Brazil, Argentina, Italy and England
'But winning the World Cup is very complicated. It is not enough simply to have the best team, you also need to get lucky. At the World Cup you cannot have a bad day and therein lies the secret of success.
'Brazil were the best team in 1982 but we had a bump and Italy won.
Pele thinks that under Diego Maradona, Argentina will struggle despite having the best player in the world - Lionel Messi.
He said: 'As a coach he does not have much experience but Argentina gave him the job. They have great players like Messi but not a great team.
