    Matt Forde is joined by comedian Paul McCaffrey and 2002 World Cup winner Kleberson in the latest episode of How to win the World Cup!


    This week we're talking managing expectations and dealing with the pressure of playing for an elite nation at the World Cup


    Kleberson tells us what the expectation was on the squad in 2002 heading into the tournament after losing the final four years previous


    He also reveals how angry the Brazilian public was when Brazil were knocked out in the quarter finals of his second World Cup in 2010


    We also ask him if England fans expect too much from their national side every time the World Cup rolls around and if fans should be expecting Tuchel's side to go all the way this summer!
