Eriksson: England will not win 2014 World Cup

Former England coach Sven Goran Eriksson can't see Roy Hodgson's team winning the World Cup next year. The 65-year-old Swede, now coach of Chinese Super League team Guangzhou R&F, led England to the quarter-finals in 2002 and 2006.

He told BBC Radio 5 live: "I don't believe they can win the World Cup in Brazil. Maybe in Russia in 2018. There are a lot of young players coming in.

"I think it's easier to win it there than in Brazil."
