Joe Hart hoping England can show ruthless edge

Joe Hart has no doubt over England’s ability to succeed at Euro 2016 if they can display the ruthless edge lacking during their early World Cup exit two years ago.

Roy Hodgson’s men headed to Brazil more in hope than expectation, but few could have foreseen the Three Lions being dumped out with a match remaining in their group.

Narrow defeats to Italy and Uruguay condemned England to a first group-stage exit on the world stage since 1958, but the FA stuck with under-fire Hodgson and an impressive response has been the reward.
