HODGSON HITS OUT AT 'DISRESPECTFUL' BALE COMMENTS: DON'T QUESTION ENGLAND'S DESIRE


The Real Madrid forward raised the temperature ahead of Thursday's game with some incendiary comments, but the Three Lions manager is staying focused
Roy Hodgson does not doubt England's desire as he responded to Gareth Bale's claims that Wales and their passion cannot be matched.
As England and Wales prepare to lock horns in their blockbuster Group B clash in Lens on Thursday, Bale stoked the fire when he said Hodgson's men "big themselves up before they've done anything".
Hodgson was asked about with the Real Madrid star, whose Wales defeated Slovakia 2-1 in their opener, but the 68-year-old said England's patriotism and passion cannot be questioned.
"Receiving disrespectful comments is part and parcel of being a footballer and a football coach," said Hodgson, after England opened the tournament with a 1-1 draw against Russia.

"I don't ever comment on other people. I've been in the game sufficiently long to know every opponent has got an opinion, the other day it was [Russia goalkeeper Igor] Akinfeev saying we were the worst seeded team and now it's Gareth Bale.
"They can have those opinions but I don't have any doubts personally about our patriotism or desire and that's the important thing.
"If he believes that that's the case, he's welcome to that opinion.
"But we know who we are, we know what we are. We don't have any doubts about ourselves in that respect."

Top 10 Embarrassing Moments In A Lagos Bus

Image
Every minute spent in a public transport in Lagos gives you unique experiences about life. The memories are meant to be forgotten and only to be recalled when you are smiling down on it from the top because of the awry nature of the numerous occurrences. Below are some of the several awful experiences I have learned to laugh over to ease my frustration: (1) Entering without your change:[/b] Imagine the look on the ever angry-looking conductor when you offer him a sum of N500 or N1000 for a payment of N50 after he must have given you a prior warning before boarding the bus. This could lead to undue attention in the vehicle. [b](2) Sitting with a passenger with an armpit and mouth odour: This is paramount to our ''mommies'' in the in the trading business especially the Igbo women selling Okporoko, Ugwu leaves and other soup ingredients.
