Hodgson hasn't lost his enthusiasm for England job

Roy Hodgson says his enthusiasm for the England job hasn't waned, despite their World Cup disaster.

England have failed to make it through to the knockout stages of the World Cup for the first time since 1958.

"My enthusiasm for football is not likely to wane and my enthusiasm for working with these players is not likely to wane either," Hodgson said.

"I believe England have a very strong basis for a team, it's very young.

"These players within the space of two years will play in the Premier League and they will get better and stronger as an England team.

"I have never doubted this team will become stronger and better, and we will just for the moment have to suck on this very bitter pill that our hopes and dreams have been floundered here because we were unable to win the games."
