Liverpool striker Fernando Torres has stated that he and team-mate Steven Gerrard dream of meeting each other in the World Cup final.
The Spanish striker is currently on international duty at the Confederations Cup, and is confident that Spain could overcome England if they met in the final of the biggest football competition.
Both Torres and Gerrard are set to feature in next year's World Cup in South Africa, after La Seleccion and the Three Lions recorded 100 per cent records in their respective qualifying groups for the tournament.
The two teams met in a friendly in February, with Spain running out easy 2-0 winners, and Torres has revealed his frequent conversations with Gerrard over meeting in the final next year.
Speaking to The Sunday Mirror, Torres said, "It's a good rivalry, we talk about it a lot and dream about what might happen in the future.
"To play against England is special for me. Already, I noticed in the friendly in Seville how big it was and to do it in an official competition would be enormous.
"England are one of the candidates to win the World Cup in 2010, without doubt. Stevie and myself have often spoken about our teams.
"Our dream would be for England and Spain to play in the final in South Africa. But Spain might win it."
