Hodgson turns to Forest Gump for England World Cup hopes

But Hodgson used a famous quote from the Oscar-winning actor Tom Hanks to sum up his phlegmatic position on potential opponents.

"It's like Forrest Gump and his box of chocolates. We will open it up and see what we get," he said. "Then we will try and digest it."
