England coach Roy Hodgson reckons he could coach a pub team to keep Manchester United at bay. Hodgson, in Portugal with the national team preparing for the World Cup in Brazil next month, made the claim in World Soccer magazine.
"You can organise a pub team not to let in six goals against Manchester United," he said. "Give me six months and I'd organise them, if they had a half-decent goalkeeper and a couple of centre halves who can get in the way of the ball."
