It’s a matter of life and death if England fail at Euro 2016 for FA chief Dyke
English FA chairman declares ‘We’ll all shoot ourselves’ if Roy Hodgson’s team fall at the group stage in summer
England Football Association chairman Greg Dyke declared “We’ll all shoot ourselves” if Roy Hodgson’s team fall at the group stage of Euro 2016.
England face Wales, Russia and Slovakia in the tournament in France from June 10, haunted by the memory of the 2014 World Cup where they were eliminated at the group phase for the first time since 1958.
Dyke stood by manager Hodgson after the debacle in Brazil, but said a repeat this year would mean heads would roll.
“I think we’ll all shoot ourselves if we don’t get out of the group,” Dyke said.
