Hodgson defends Rooney switch
~!!~If Rooney had stayed on, he would have almost certainly scored his 50th goal, but Hodgsonwould not alter his plan to take the striker off to keep him fresh for Tuesday*s qualifier against Switzerland at Wembley//
~!!~**The substitution was planned with a view to Tuesday night,** the England manager said//
**It would be nice if Wayne could get the 50th goal against Switzerland on Tuesday night, but one thing is for certain ~ he*ll get it//
~!!~**If it*s not on Tuesday, it might be October, if it*s not October, it might be in November, and if it*s not in November, it might be 2016// But he*ll get it// It*s not as if this was his last and only chance//
