Justifying Oxlade-Chamberlain's inclusion in the squad.
Quote:
“He is a very exciting player who has made an impression on me, not least in his performance against AC Milan at the Emirates,” Hodgson said.

I was there live and saw how well he dealt with Pirlo and Ambrosini. He can play wide or central and for future and can continue as he started.”

Is Roy aware that Pirlo moved to Juventus, and that Ambrosini wasn't even in the squad that evening? Would this also go some way towards explaining some of his bizarre squad selections?

Roy Hodgson Names Squad, Already Confused

two of the names garnering the most attention seem to be Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Andy Carroll, two youngsters with lots of potential, but actual contributions to the Euros up for liberal speculation. The former is 18 and uncapped, thus making this a rather big deal for him. But Roy’s pretty comfortable with the selection for reasons which don’t actually exist, which has to be reaffirming for the fans.

He's going to get crucified on this.
