Hodgson takes positives from draw

England boss Roy Hodgson insists his side's World Cup dreams are still "in our hands" following Tuesday's 1-1 draw in Montenegro.

Wayne Rooney gave Hodgson's men a first-half lead but substitute Dejan Damjanovic scrambled the ball into the net with 13 minutes to play to secure a draw for the hosts. Montenegro have a two point lead in the Group H table but still have to visit England when the qualification campaign resumes next season. Hodgson said: "It is in our hands because we play Montenegro and Poland at home and we have to go to Ukraine. "But with three of our remaining four games at home it's in our hands and we intend to keep it that way by winning." England are 22/1 to win the 2014 World Cup with bet365, hosts Brazil can be backed at 10/3 and Spain are 5/1.
