Midfielder Gilberto Silva has spoken of Brazil's hunger for a sixth World Cup crown, insisting all the players are desperate for success in South Africa.

The South Americans sealed their place in the quarter-finals on Monday night after coasting to a 3-0 win over continental rivals Chile in Johannesburg and the former Arsenal player is backing the Selecao to now go all the way.

"I believe we can win," he said. "The mood in the squad is very good at the moment, everyone is enjoying a lot what we're doing for our country. Everyone is hungry to achieve one more trophy for Brazil."
