Roy Hodgson: 'Teams won't want to draw England at World Cup'

Roy Hodgson has said that teams at next year's World Cup will not want to draw England.

The Three Lions ensured a place in Brazil by overcoming Poland 2-0 at Wembley last night and although national manager Hodgson conceded that England aren't one of the favourites, he feels that they are a tough draw for anyone.

He said: "We won't be favourites, that's for sure.

"But I don't think we will go into any games believing we don't have a chance to win and I don't think there will be too many teams out there thinking 'whoopee we have got England, what an easy one!'"

England will not be a top seed and could draw the likes of Brazil, Spain, Germany and Argentina in the group stage, which will be revealed in Bahia on December 6.
