England scored only four goals in four matches at Euro 2016 and Hodgson felt his side were not "ruthless" enough in France.
He said: "We did not play well last night and I take full responsibility for that.
"We showed signs of good football in the first three games, which gave us confidence, but last night we didn't reproduce.
"I'm disappointed. I didn't see it coming. I had no indication that we were going to play that badly."
He added: "I'm sure those players will live up to expectations and one day I'm sure we'll see England do well in a tournament - I'm hoping in 2018 [at the World Cup in Russia].
"They have shown they are worthy of wearing an England shirt and they have shown myself and my coaches that in this tournament."
