Wembley - NFL games

Roy Hodgson has questioned the FA’s decision to allow an NFL game to take place at Wembley six days before England’s Euro 2016 qualifying game against Slovenia.

Hodgson said: "If I was asked if it was a good thing or not, I would have to say not. I can’t pretend it is something that makes me leap for joy."

Wembley officials have told Sky Sports News HQ that they are confident over the long-term prospects for the pitch, and point out that it has been in ‘excellent condition’ in recent years.

Dyke intends to auction the watch on behalf of Breast Cancer Care, the FA’s charity partner.
