Hodgson believes practicing penalties in training does not replicate the pressure of a match situation and would like to see the idea introduced.
"It is a very good idea," he told reporters. "We might be able to agree with one of our opponents if the game is a draw that we have a penalty shootout."
The 65-year-old added to Sky Sports: "At least then there is a lot more relevance to a competition at the end of a friendly in front of a big crowd than there is when you are taking penalties day after day in training and watching players quite happily whizz them into the back of the net. And then you have got that long walk with a big crowd."
As well as Euro 2012, England have also suffered penalty shootout heartache at World Cups in 1990, 1998 and 2006, and European Championships in 1996 and 2004. Their only success came in the quarter-final of Euro '96 against Spain.

Ronaldinho, Oscar & David Luiz named in Brazil squad for England friendly
The 32-year-old makes his return to the international fold for the first time in 12 months, while Julio Cesar, David Luiz, Ramires and Oscar are also included in the 20-man squad
Brazil coach Luis Felipe Scolari has named Ronaldinho in his 20-man squad for his side's friendly against England in February.
The 32-year-old last appeared for Selecao in February 2012, in a 2-1 friendly win over Bosnia and Herzegovina, but now has the chance of adding to his 94 international caps under new head coach Scolari.
Elsewhere, there are four Premier League-based representatives in the squad, with QPR goalkeeper Julio Cesar and Chelsea trio David Luiz, Ramires and Oscar.
Brazil will face England at Wembley Stadium on February 6.

Oscar - Chelsea
Lucas - PSG
Paulinho - Corinthians
Strikers
Fred - Fluminense
Hulk - Zenit
Neymar - Santos

More fucking friendlies? What a joke. That means all our top stars will get injured as usual. Which is okay actually, now they play for city and utd.
Goalkeepers: Jack Butland, Joe Hart.

English commentary for Spain vs Uruguay.
Spain again can't be bothered to sing their anthem. :lol:
:Tyldesley:
Cesc shoots from way out, Muslera easily saves.
Perez gives Cazorla a good kicking.
Spain 1-0 Uruguay, complete fuck-up from Muslera off Cesc's long range shot. :lol:

Busquets booked. Scissor tackle and not particularly pretty.
