Former England boss writes off winning 2014 World Cup

Former England boss Glenn Hoddle says England should forget about winning the 2014 World Cup but thinks success is not very far away. The former Tottenham star is on a Football Association commission looking at ways of improving the nation's fortunes.

"It is unrealistic for England to think they can go and win the World Cup in Brazil," Hoddle told BBC Sport.

"Let's first qualify, then get the youngsters experiencing a tournament in Brazil so that in two years' time we can have a real go at the Euros."
