Hodgson convinced of England World Cup chances

England coach Roy Hodgson is bullish over their World Cup chances ahead of today's draw.

England are 25-1 with most bookmakers to win the World Cup, with Brazil, Spain, Argentina and Germany among the favourites.

Asked if Luiz Felipe Scolari's host nation, who have won the tournament five times, were worth a "tenner", Hodgson said: "No - I'd put it on England. I'd have a chance of losing it on Brazil, so why not put it on the team I want to win it.

"We all know the result everybody wants and that's to repeat the triumph of 1966. We all know that's not going to be easy, but it's great to be there trying to do it."
