Hodgson accepts jeers from unhappy England fans

England coach Roy Hodgson accepted the jeers from home fans at the end of their 2-0 defeat to Chile.

Hodgson refused to criticise the fans who voiced their dissatisfaction in a chorus of boos at the final whistle.

"That's part of the game today," said Hodgson. "Fans don't accept defeats.

"I'm not prepared to criticise our fans. They've been fantastic throughout. They were obviously disappointed tonight that we couldn't keep our momentum going and send them home with a victory, so they are entitled to show their frustration but I think they will have a reasonable amount of perspective about it all."
