But you know what you choose for. You always try to pick the best players for an individual game. "Fortunately, I have options if things don't work out. That will only be to our advantage."England will start Monday's match versus Iceland in Nice as the favourites, but Hodgson has warned it will not be an easy game. "We want to stay in tournament and I think we're good enough. It's win or lose and we're fully aware of it. We want to win and progress," he added."We are the favourites, whereas they are the underdogs. But it's going to be a very difficult game either way. "Lars Lagerback's experience is very important to them. He knows how to get the most out of the team and how to put together a team that is really hard to beat. Plus they have an excellent work-rate."Their ability to survive through hardships has played a large role in their success."</blockquote>
