Roy Hodgson to lead England Under-21s for one game

England boss Roy Hodgson is to take charge of the country's under-21 side for one match as the hunt continues for Stuart Pearce's full-time successor.

Hodgson will lead the under-21s against Scotland at Bramall Lane on 13 August.

"There is an opportunity while the recruitment process goes on to work with this squad and continue my work of leading the nation towards mediocrity; it is something I very much wanted to do," said Hodgson.

Pearce's contract was not extended after England lost all three games in June's European Under-21 Championships.

No Sterling then.

Only Gerrard and Johnson called up. About as good as we could have hoped for

[Leyton388]

Absolutely made up for Rickie. He deserves it. What a game to be called up for.

[RichC]

How the **** has Zaha got in actually more to the point Young!!

Has anyone told him Fergie is no longer the manager at OT

It's not difficult to argue that not a single one of them would get into Spain's squad.

[Kenneth]

And it would even be difficult to argue that any of them would get in the Spain squad.
