I'll be very interested to see who they get, given that England will now get a tougher team

We will get 2nd in the Portugal group. So most likely Hungary if Portugal beat them, or Austria if Portugal don't win. Worst case is Portugal.

Problem is it's then France and Germany if results go to plan

I think they need to come up against a decent team that will take the game to them more. We can't seem to break down weaker teams who put men behind the ball, perhaps we can get more space against a more competitive side and raise our game at the same time.

Problem is that Roy hasn't the foggiest idea what his best side or formation is, and that doesn't bode well for progression in a tournament.

Joe Hart says he has had nothing to do in the tournament so far. Well, except messing up a free kick and slicing plenty of clearances into the crowd.

Northern Ireland will qualify with a point against Germany tonight, as they would have more points than Albania and a better goal difference than Slovakia.

Well I think for Roy he has an idea, but too many of players have arrived out of form. Harry Kane went rubbish the moment he touchdown in France for some reason.

Not sure why Hodgson is being criticised for team selection when the side he sent out played pretty well (for about 70m), and the XI fielded in the first game produced no better result (and a similar performance). Is it just the belief that in hindsight, anything that wasn't tried might well have provided the desired result?

He was always going to receive some stick if we didn't win. I really don't see the point in changing 6 players, not that I think we'd have won with Alli etc.

Kane and Alli were supposed to be a key combination, sadly neither have shown anything of their Spurs form.

More Kane and Unable.

I still hold on to the glimmer that we will score more goals in a more open game, probably concede more as well.

Don't like Roy Hodgson and want him replaced after this tournament but I don't hold with the view in the press that the changes were the difference last night. All games have panned out pretty much the same way, dominated three teams but failed to take half chances against three teams that were all playing for a point.

As a neutral England have been great to watch. I think Roy has got them playing well. As has been said above, the loss of form of Kane and Ali has been a problem. But im not sure why Roy and England are getting such stick.

Maybe England fans are never happy unless they are winning every game. And even when winning they moan.
