World Cup not impossible for England - Hodgson

Roy Hodgson says winning the World Cup would not be an impossible feat for the England national team.

The Three Lions made it to the finals of Brazil 2014 with a 2-0 win over Poland on Tuesday night and now manager Hodgson suggests they are a sneaky chance of taking out the tournament in 10 months' time.

"European teams don't win in South America, but I don't think there's any point in saying 'this is impossible'," he said.

"I also think we've been in a slight transition period, young players are coming through, we're getting better, but we're not at the level of some other teams.

"We won't be favourites, that's for sure. If you're going to define World Cups as only worthwhile if you win it, then trying to qualify becomes a complete waste of time."
