據(jù)英國《衛(wèi)報(bào)》報(bào)道，在6月20日的巴西世界杯D組比賽中，意大利以0-1輸給了哥斯達(dá)黎加之后，英格蘭自1958年以來第一次沒有從小組賽出線。

羅伊·霍奇森（Roy Hodgson）指望意大利以大比分獲勝來得以出線了。這場(chǎng)比賽的結(jié)果意味著在6月24日對(duì)陣已小組出線哥斯達(dá)黎加的比賽，對(duì)英格蘭也毫無意義。

England were sent tumbling out of the World Cup at the group stage for the first time since 1958 after Costa Rica beat Italy 1-0 in their Group D match in Recife on Friday.

在6月19日2-1輸給了烏拉圭隊(duì)之后，霍奇森說他從沒想過去辭職，那場(chǎng)比賽中，蘇亞雷斯剛剛在一個(gè)月前做了膝蓋手術(shù)，他首次復(fù)出就進(jìn)了兩個(gè)球。英格蘭足協(xié)主席格里戈·代克（Greg Dyke）對(duì)支持霍奇森，時(shí)年66歲的他將繼續(xù)擔(dān)任英格蘭主教練，直到2016年歐冠結(jié)束。

Roy Hodgson’s side needed Italy to take maximum points from the match to have any hope of survival. The result means Tuesday’s match against Costa Rica, who have now qualified for the knock-out stages, is meaningless for England.

Hodgson said he had no intention of resigning after the 2-1 defeat to Uruguay on Thursday in which Luis Suárez scored both goals on his first appearance since undergoing knee surgery a month ago. And he was backed by FA chairman Greg Dyke who said the 66-year-old would be remaining in his post until after the 2016 European Championships.

“我們支持羅伊·霍奇森，我們要求他繼續(xù)擔(dān)任主教練了?！贝苏f道，“我們沒有看到換人的意義，我們認(rèn)為他做的很好，會(huì)在四年里也是如此，我們都期待在歐洲杯中能發(fā)揮更好?！?/p>
