England lost 2-0 to Uruguay after Luis
Suarez scored twice for the South
Americans Roy Hodgson's side have now lost two out of two this World Cup campaign Questions will no doubt be asked of
the England manager, however
Hodgson has remained defiant and
adamant he will not quit his job
Hodgson said: 'I don't have any
intention to resign'.
Roy Hodgson insisted he will not quit as England manager despite admitting he was
'devastated' after his side's 2-1 defeat to Uruguay at the World Cup.
The result leaves the Three Lions bottom of Group D with zero points and needing Italy
to win their two remaining matches and hope they can beat Costa Rica themselvesvon Tuesday.
And, after Luis Suarez scored twice for the South Americans, Hodgson said: 'I don't have any intention to resign.'

Uruguay 2-1 England: Luis Suarez double wins it after Wayne Rooney scores first World Cup goal and Roy Hodgson's men are all-but out after defeat in Sao Paulo Luis Suarez steps up when Uruguay need him most as Wayne Rooney's first World Cup goal for England is scored in vain Steven Gerrard's troubles leave himbexposed but with England captain to bow out at final World Cup, who will replace him?
England’s defence was petrified and brutally exposed at the very highest level... Luis Suarez simply picked them off 'I've been really happy with the way thebplayers have responded to the work we'vevtried to.
'I'm bitter disappointed, of course, but I don't feel I need to resign, no.
'On the other hand, if the FA think I'm not the right man to do the job...
'We believed we could do enough to get abresult in this game. Having worked so hardvto get back to 1-1 I believed we would go
on to win the game or at least draw, so to concede the second goal is an unbelievable blow. I don't really know what to say at this
time.
'We are more then disappointed, we're devastated.
'It was a goal we don't expect to concede.
Long goal kicks with the type of players we have in the team, we deal with them.
'I thought we would go on possibly to win the game and certainly I didn't think we would lose the game at that point.
'We had been in control for such a long time. After the first five minutes (of the second half) we got back on track. We've been near their goal so many times, but it
doesn't matter how many times you getvnear the other team's goal, it matters how many times you put it in the back of the net
and we haven't done that enough.'
On Suarez, he said: 'He scored the two
goals. The first goal in particular was
exceptionally good, Cavani's chip and his pulling away to the back post and thebcleverness of his header I thought was really top, top play. The second one I thought he was a bit fortunate, but when he
got himself through he made no mistake.'
