据英国《卫报》报道，在6月20日的巴西世界杯D组比赛中，意大利以0-1输给了哥斯达黎加之后，英格兰自1958年以来第一次没有从小组赛出线。

罗伊·霍奇森（Roy Hodgson）指望意大利以大比分获胜来得以出线了。这场比赛的结果意味着在6月24日对阵已小组出线哥斯达黎加的比赛，对英格兰也毫无意义。

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输给了乌拉圭队之后，霍奇森说他从没想过去辞职，那场比赛中，苏亚雷斯刚刚在一个月前做了膝盖手术，他首次复出就进了两个球。英格兰足协主席格里戈·代克（Greg Dyke）对支持霍奇森，时年66岁的他将继续担任英格兰主教练，直到2016年欧冠结束。

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.

“我们支持罗伊·霍奇森，我们要求他继续担任主教练了。”代克说道，“我们没有看到换人的意义，我们认为他做的很好，会在四年里也是如此，我们都期待在欧洲杯中能发挥更好。”
