England manager Roy Hodgson says that it is not "impossible" for England to win the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.

England manager Roy Hodgson has said that the Three Lions can win the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.

The national team have not progressed beyond the quarter-finals of a major competition since Euro 96 but Hodgson believes a victory in South Africa is not impossible.

Hodgson told BBC Radio 5Live's Sportsweek programme: "We're far from being favourites but you've got to shy away from 'impossible' in football.

"There are plenty of events in football that you could have said were impossible but people have done it."

England are currently second in Europe's World Cup qualifying Group H after four games, two points behind Montenegro.
