My history boys! This time we'll knock out one of the big guns, says England boss Hodgson
All eyes on you, Glen: Johnson at the Hutink Stadium in Krakow ahead of this weekend's showdown with Italy

There is a new wave of optimism around the England camp now and Johnson added: ‘Any team in the tournament has got a chance of winning it.

‘The first objective was to get out of the group, we did that very well, so now it’s a one-off game and in a one-off game you can beat anyone.’

Another one-off is Mario Balotelli but Hodgson has told his players not to target the Italy striker.

‘I’m too much the purist coach to go along that line,’ he said.
