More from Roy Hodgson on BBC Radio 5 live: "Ferdinand has no reason to fear for his international future. All the time he keeps playing, I'll keep watching him.
"The fact is, in the last couple of years he hasn't played many games for England, which is of course one of the factors I took into account when I made my decision. He'd only played three games in just over two years, but he will always be a contender for a place in the England team.
"My respect for him should go a lot further than just asking him to come along to a tournament to be a player to cover."

Before we go on with any more posse of passing shenanigans, here is a brief England interlude from the press conference earlier...
England manager Roy Hodgson speaking on BBC Radio 5 live: "I was somewhat surprised when the debate arose again. There was obviously no question with the players that we had and the cover that we already had for centre-backs in the squad, when Gary Cahill got injured, to be frank there was never any thought in my mind that I would call up Rio Ferdinand as a cover player.
"I don't think Rio Ferdinand is a player you select to cover the players you've chosen. I think when you chose Ferdinand with his 81 caps and his experience you choose him to put him in the team.
"My thoughts immediately turned to what young players we could bring along that would benefit from the experience. We turned to Martin Kelly, who had been with us before on the Norway trip.
"Rio's name never really featured in the discussions."Comment

I can sort of see what he's saying about young players and experience, but if he was doing his job properly you would have thought Ferdinand should have at least featured in the discussions.
I still maintain he should have used Ferguson's comments about Rio not being fit enough to play every 4 days as his justification for leaving him out and all this would have been over immediately.The only gracious way to accept an insult is to ignore it; if you can't ignore it, top it; if you can't top it, laugh at it; if you can't laugh at it, it's probably deserved.Comment

FLMAO!
"If it's torrid I hope that it's for the right reasons,'' Hodgson said. "By that, I mean because the players have let myself and the team down very badly, we have played very badly and that fair-minded people watching us are thinking, 'my God, what are they doing.'
"And if that does happen, I will learn an awful lot about what I need to do in the coming couple of years to make sure it doesn't happen in Brazil in 2014 (at the World Cup). I can honestly say that's the thing that could make it really torrid for me if I get a totally different in the games from what I am expecting to see from these players.''Thanks very much for beingComment
