Hodgson starting to take heat already and the tournament hasn't even started.
Not good when even Lineker is calling you out.
Quote:
Yet the manager insisted only form was an issue - and pointed to the fact that he had also omitted Micah Richards of champions Manchester City.But last night Lineker, who will front England's Euro 2012 games on the BBC, Tweeted: "Richards only has himself to blame for refusing to be on standby. But @ rioferdy5 omission reasons now more obvious than ever."
Another former England striker, Ian Wright, said on Twitter: "If Rio is fit and still can't get into that squad, then I believe it must be for reasons other than football. Would love to know."
Former United hitman Andy Cole said he "wouldn't be surprised" if factors other than form were involved.
He said: "If there were footballing reasons for Rio not going I would love to know what they were.
