"I trained a few players of world class. Fernando Hierro, Youri Djorkaeff, Jay-Jay Okocha, Gary Speed , Nicolas Anelka and Michael Owen. I trained some talented players. The good thing is that they make life easier, they know what you want. For me it will be very exciting to work with elite of English footballers, because they apply very quickly ideas" said the former coach of Newcastle, Blackburn and West Ham.
"Unfortunately I haven't won trophies as the coach because I couldn't retrieve never a top team in the Premier League. I saved the team and I relegated ever, and if not the same as winning the FA Cup or League Cup, are great achievements, "he added.

I think the choice of game depends on the players that i have available and adversary, "said selector. the first match of the bank of England Allardyce will be Slovakia away on Sept. 4 in the 2018 World Cup qualifiers.

Diego Maradona charge against England: "It's an overrated team"
Diego Maradona made clear in his column in the Times Of India that has never felt footballing appreciation for England and used to reload against the British combined after his failure at Euro 2016, where they were eliminated by Iceland in the second round.
"Let's congratulate Iceland for up to England. It was a surprise that there really is not much. Iceland was higher and sent into the game, making rivals its illustrious run aimlessly, without purpose or poison. England remains a overrated team, untalented and desire. Although I would be surprised that Iceland conseguiera reach beyond quarter, against France, the small nation has been the history of the tournament so far. "
Maradona also had words for the farewell of Spain and the so - called end of cycle: " We also saw the end of the golden generation of Spain and his reign in Europe is expected. Given the way they had gone to the World Cup 2014 . it was fun to watch while it lasted and now have to start again. the fall in Spain coincided with the return of the Azzurri, see how they do now. "
The Argentine analyzed the first quarter-end, Poland - Portugal : "It's a battle between Lewandowski and Ronaldo .. Poland is a typically European quipo who refuses to give up the only goal in four games out of a work of Shaquiri art. But the defensive organization is not its only strength. the coach Adam Nawałka is not afraid to play with two strikers as Lewandowski and Milik and cons are dangerous ".
"Dangerous too, although waves, is Portugal. Ronaldo played no role in 120 minutes against Croatia but it also speaks of the importance of the rest of the team. Fernando Santos is not afraid align enough players to stop the opponent 's attack and wait for their chance . Portugal should continue with this plan against Poland. You can also force Poland to look for plan B and increase the chances of counter with Ronaldo and Nani . "

Portugal plays in England in the second and main test for the Euro-2016
Portugal faces on Thursday England, in what will be the main test for the finals of Euro2016 and in which the picker Fernando Santos does not count on the European champions Cristiano Ronaldo and Pepe.
The two Real Madrid players, key pieces in 'chess' the picker, only join the work of the selection on Sunday after they won the Champions League for the 'meringues', at the end of last week.
On the other hand, Nani and Bruno Alves, who failed the first test, with Norway, will already be available to Fernando Santos, who should make some changes in the 'eleven' that will start the match at Wembley Stadium.
Moreover, in Tuesday's training it was possible to glimpse the possible options for the confrontation with the British, particularly with regard to the defense and the midfield.
On defense, Ricardo Carvalho should be the one to repeat the title against Norway (3-0), making the sector with Vieirinha, Bruno Alves and Elisha, who can get to the places of Cédric, José Fonte and Raphael Guerreiro, respectively.
In what concerns the midfield, and assuming that Fernando Santos will keep the focus on 4x4x2, João Moutinho and João Mário appear to be 'untouchable' in the 'eleven' Luso while Adrien and Danilo, who entered during the meeting with the Norwegians, may appear in place of William Carvalho and André Gomes.
The attack, still an 'orphan' of Cristiano Ronaldo , will be the sector that arise biggest questions with Quaresma, Eder, Nani and Rafa to fight for the two remaining spots, and the first two won 'points', with goals scored to Norway.
As for the goal, the picker can give possibility to Rui Patrício, who leaves for France with the holder status, or Eduardo, since Anthony Lopes kept the 'networks' national in the first test.
In the second preparation match for the Euro2016, Portugal will have to go to England, which will also be present at the final stage, being included in group B along with Russia, Wales and Slovakia.
The British, led by the experienced Roy Hodgson, were first classified in Group E qualification, despite being the only European team to get a campaign 100 per cent record with 10 wins in as many games.
The English team is one of the strong candidates for a place in the final of Euro2016, having a set of international-class players, especially in attack, which included names like Wayne Rooney (Manchester United), Harry Kane (Tottenham), Daniel Sturridge (Liverpool ), Jamie Vardy (Leicester City) and the young Marcus Rashford (Manchester United).
The meeting England and Portugal is scheduled for 19:45, at Wembley Stadium in London.

England’s Euro 2016 squad
CONFIRMED: The #ThreeLions squad for #EURO2016.— England (@England) May 31, 2016
23 players, #TogetherForEngland. pic.twitter.com/lpUwMo4HPk
Goalkeepers
Fraser Forster
Caps 6 Goals 0 Age 28 Club Southampton
A man-mountain who has been elevated to second choice in the absence of the injured Jack Butland. Excellent for Southampton now he has recovered from a lengthy knee injury, he was unused at the 2014 World Cup but has proved reliable when called upon.
Joe Hart
Caps 58 Goals 0 Age 29 Club Manchester City
Eight years after his debut, the Manchester City goalkeeper is clearly established as England’s first-choice. Did not feature at the 2010 World Cup but started the next two major tournaments and nine of England’s Euro 2016 qualifiers. Strong, authoritative and a reassuring presence.
Tom Heaton
Caps 1 Goals 0 Age 30 Club Burnley
The much-travelled goalkeeper has been a regular in Roy Hodgson’s squad as third choice over the past 18 months despite spending the season in the Championship with Burnley.
Defenders
Ryan Bertrand
Position Left-back Caps 8 Goals 0 Age 26 Club Southampton
Made his senior debut in a friendly win against Italy in Switzerland immediately after Euro 2012 but has flourished more regularly recently after excelling for Southampton. His senior England career has been limited to two competitive matches but he is well placed to compete for a starting place at left-back in France.
Gary Cahill
Position Centre-back Caps 42 Goals 3 Age 30 Club Chelsea
Hodgson’s vice-captain and a regular under this manager, he will hope to make up for missing out on Euro 2012 after breaking his jaw in a friendly against Belgium just before the tournament. The Chelsea centre-half has captained the team on occasion – not least in the victory in Germany in March – and is a rugged performer, despite struggling at times to hold down his position at club level this season.
Nathaniel Clyne
Position Right-back Caps 12 Goals 0 Age 25 Club Liverpool
Quick and aggressive down the flank, the Liverpool player appears to have convinced Hodgson he should be considered England’s first-choice right-back. He can operate at left-back if required, which adds to his attraction, but his first major tournament will be a proper examination of his development after a testing first year as a Liverpool player.
Danny Rose
Position Left-back Caps 3 Goals 0 Age 25 Club Tottenham Hotspur
The left-back has made regular appearances in England squads and, after a fine season at Tottenham Hotspur, got his debut in Berlin in March, with an impressive display against the reigning world champions. Diminutive, quick and attack-minded, his delivery is a considerable asset.
Chris Smalling
Position Centre-back Caps 24 Goals 0 Age 26 Club Manchester United
A Hodgson favourite from his days as Fulham manager, the former Maidstone defender has become a mainstay of the backline in recent times, bringing encouraging club form on to the international stage. Played against Costa Rica in Belo Horizonte but will go into these finals as a first-choice centre-back.
John Stones
Position Centre-back Caps 10 Goals 0 Age 21 Club Everton
Such a classy performer on the ball, though prone to over-elaboration in unwise positions, as demonstrated against Holland in March. Hodgson has long earmarked him as the future of the national team at centre-half, though Stones’ appearances have more usually been at right-back. The manager even discussed using him as a defensive midfielder last autumn.
Kyle Walker
Position Right-back Caps 15 Goals 0 Age 25 Club Tottenham Hotspur
Named in Uefa’s team of the tournament at the 2011 European Under-21 Championship, he made his senior debut in a friendly victory over Spain later that year. A toe injury kept him out of Euro 2012 but he has been regularly involved in the period since and has enjoyed a fine campaign at Tottenham.
Midfielders
Dele Alli
Position Midfielder Caps 7 Goals 1 Age 20 Club Tottenham Hotspur
Was promoted into the England senior side as a teenager last autumn and has not looked back, quickly establishing himself as a key, energetic member of Hodgson’s team. He can operate as a No10 or in one of the wide positions of a midfield three, and provides forward thrust and energy. Scored his first senior goal against France and was outstanding in the win in Germany.
Ross Barkley
Position Attacking midfielder Caps 22 Goals 2 Age 22 Club Everton
Criticised at times by Hodgson for surrendering possession in dangerous areas, Barkley remains one of English football’s great hopes. Featured at the World Cup two years ago and was the team’s attacking inspiration through the autumn, operating more successfully as a central playmaker. Strong, clever in his delivery and a goal threat.
Eric Dier
Position Defensive midfielder Caps 6 Goals 1 Age 22 Club Tottenham Hotspur
One of the many revelations of Tottenham’s season, the player schooled in Portugal at Sporting has switched from centre-half-cum-right-back to defensive midfielder and excelled. He was impressive against France at Wembley in November, and scored the stoppage time winner to beat Germany in Berlin in March. Solid, dependable and clever with his positioning.
Jordan Henderson
Position Midfielder Caps 24 Goals 0 Age 25 Club Liverpool
Liverpool’s captain has not enjoyed his best season but he remains a mainstay of Hodgson’s midfield, having made his international debut six years ago. Replaced the injured Frank Lampard at Euro 2012 and started in Manaus and São Paulo two years later, England have tapped into his energy and delivery from set plays.
Adam Lallana
Position Attacking midfielder Caps 22 Goals 0 Age 28 Club Liverpool
A clever player capable of operating wide in a front three, or tighter in a midfield diamond. He must start contributing regular goals for England to justify regular inclusion, but Hodgson has leant upon him as a reliable, selfless and industrious creator.
James Milner
Position Midfielder Caps 59 Goals 1 Age 30 Club Liverpool
England’s Mr Reliable over seven years. Only Rooney boasts more caps in this squad, with Milner having featured in three major tournaments. The Liverpool player can operate across midfield, even as a deep-lying anchor, and at right-back, but has suggested Euro 2016 may be his last involvement with the national side.
Jack Wilshere
Position Midfielder Caps 30 Goals 2 Age 24 Club Arsenal
First capped as an 18-year-old by Fabio Capello, Wilshere has been utilised by Hodgson at the base of midfield as a calm distributor of possession rather than a fierce tackler. He has thrived in the position and, when required, bursts forward to assist the attack, scoring a brace against Slovenia last summer to confirm his potential. Injuries have limited his involvement ever since.
Forwards
Harry Kane
Caps 11 Goals 5 Age 22 Club Tottenham Hotspur
Scored on debut 80 seconds after his introduction as a substitute against Lithuania in a European qualifier in March 2015, and now England’s most obvious No9 selection after prolific form with Tottenham. A regular in England’s junior ranks but would have qualified for Republic of Ireland through his father.
Wayne Rooney
Caps 110 Goals 52 Age 30 Club Manchester United
England’s captain and record goalscorer, with 52. Burst on to the international scene at Euro 2004 but has endured frustration at virtually every major tournament since, from dismal form, a lack of fitness or an untimely red card. This may be his last opportunity to excel on the international stage.
Raheem Sterling
Caps 22 Goals 2 Age 21 Club Manchester City
Only the fifth Englishman to be capped before his 18th birthday, Sterling was called up by Hodgson after Euro 2012 and his performance against Italy in Manaus was arguably the highlight of the team’s World Cup campaign in 2014. Has been used wide right but also at the tip of a midfield diamond, where he revelled in the World Cup .
Daniel Sturridge
Caps 17 Goals 5 Age 26 Club Liverpool
Represented Great Britain at the 2012 Olympics and, having graduated through the junior levels, made his senior debut under Capello. One of the brighter attacking performers at the 2014 World Cup and, when fit, a key member of Hodgson’s front-line options.
Jamie Vardy
Position Forward Caps 6 Goals 3 Age 29 Club Leicester City
Hodgson was impressed with Vardy’s raw ability, energy and industry, through Leicester’s relegation fight in 2014-15 and offered the striker a debut in Dublin last summer. Scored his first international goals against Germany and Holland in March, and can operate wide or through the middle.
Marcus Rashford
Position Forward Caps 1 Goals 1 Age 18 Club Manchester United
Became youngest England player to score on his England debut after putting England 1-0 up against Australia after three minutes. The teenager has demanded inclusion with his performances since breaking into United’s first team amid an injury crisis in late February. He scored twice that evening, against Midtjylland, and has seven goals in 16 club games. Has not won an England Under-21 cap yet and has a sole Under-20 appearance.

Attacker loses goal ... and steals fan of beer to 'drown his sorrows'
An unusual situation occurred in a regional league of the UK. The striker Terry Dodd, of Horsham, had a clear chance to score a goal in the match against Halisham City. The opponent was no keeper, and was only playing to the back of the net.
But Dodd had miscalculated, and kicked too far from the target. Soon after the bizarre move, he even surprised: ran to the bottom line and took a glass of beer from a viewer.
Perhaps the goal was to forget the lost goal ... check out the play!

Gascoigne returns to the underworld: drunk, wounded, bloodied and dazed
It is the endless story: Paul Gascoigne , drunk and practically catatonic. The myth of English football during the nineties has made the news for his umpteenth drunkenness. The British newspaper "The Sun" published some pictures of Gascoigne in a deplorable state while trying to catch a taxi : drunk, with a bottle of gin in hand, bloodied and bruised face (probably from a previous fight), his zipper down, broken and completely stunned shirt.
Gascoigne said few weeks was a year without tasting alcohol does, but the sad images that do that the English tabloid show that was just another lie that was once one of the most talented footballers late last century , but it has long since become an inveterate alcoholic and apparently incurable.
