Brazil boss Dunga has dismissed the idea there is a gulf in class between his own side and England.
Brazil take on Sweden in a friendly at London’s Emirates Stadium on Wednesday night as they prepare for the resumption of their World Cup qualifying campaign.
Currently third in the South American group, Brazil have matches against Paraguay and Argentina in June to ponder.
England, meanwhile, will be watching on when Euro 2008 gets under way the same month, having failed to qualify under former boss Steve McClaren.
Even without injured trio Kaka, Ronaldo and Ronaldinho, Dunga has a wealth of talent at his disposal, with Robinho and Luis Fabiano among the star names on show.
But the former Brazil captain believes new England coach Fabio Capello has no cause for envy.
“England have excellent players,” he said.
“The only difference is that Brazil has won the World Cup five times and England one time.
“But at any time there are quality players in the England team and we don’t always have top players to put in the team.”
One of England’s top-rated players is Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand, who has been named by Capello as captain to face France tonight.
The move surprised many but Dunga believes people should trust Capello on his choice.
He said: “The coach who’s working with him every day knows his characteristics and will know what his capabilities are.”
