FIFA snub British coaching for World Cup technical study group

FIFA have snubbed British coaching for this month's World Cup technical study group.

The technical study group analyses all 64 matches of the World Cup.

The Daily Mail says no representative from the Home Nations are on the panel. Instead, the likes of Sudan and Hong Kong, which have never qualified for the World Cup, are represented.

Former Scotland manager Andy Roxburgh had been a long-time member of FIFA's TSG at six previous World Cups while England boss manager Roy Hodgson helped compile the technical report for the 2006 World Cup and was due to be part of UEFA's TSG for Euro 2012 until taking over the national team beforehand.
