The England manager Hodgson has said that he is extremely confident that the English can win the World Cup in 2014. England have been looking for their first World Cup triumph since 1966 when they managed to lift the famous trophy in the World Cup.

He was especially poor in the quarter-final match against Italy. This has led to criticism from many saying that Wayne Rooney does not produce his best for the England national team.
