His passing was excellent, he wasn't there to score goals. He controlled the midfield well. Don't treat him as a striker

I know we bugger it up sometimes, but we do also get a fair bit of ill luck too don't we at times (penalty spot giving way under Beckham's foot, Campbell's disallowed goal, Lampard's over the line shot, the Hand of God etc.).
How many shots did Russia have tonight? We really deserved to win without any question. We did fail to take advantage of some great positions tonight, but you do have to feel for the players on this occasion.

Yep agree, then what the fuck was he doing with that goal kick afterwards!

It's a game where you struggle to find negatives. We just don't kill games off

I'll let UEFA know we deserved to win and maybe they will change it from a draw.

Awful second half. Took off Rooney (best player). Kane poor...sterling didn't use ball when had opportunity. Vardy or sturridge should have been used.

Now, we know that the number 42 is the answer to the meaning of life, the universe and everything, but can anybody possibly explain just what England have to do to win a game of tournament football after a performance like that? Other than score two goals and defend until the final whistle of course.

Lallana was decent the first half, rose wasn't bad at all.

I know. just saying England deserved win quite clearly and that goal at the end was a bit of a freak effort. You have to feel for the England team tonight.

Right, well that's 4 players. How did we play so well I wonder with such poor performances?

I thought rose was ok and lallana first half...but he did fade. Kane should have been subbed with half hour to go

Rose was fine, as was Lallana. Think the only player who had a poor game was Kane, who just wasn't in the game.

Glad to see Hart found time post match to have a couple of chuckles when being interviewed.
I'm not expecting him to be in mourning, but still......
As for his take on the goal, did he say their man had a good left for and looped one in? Wasn't it a header? Or did he think it was a good assist?

Really? I thought Dier was very good and so too Smalling, Rose and Walker. Cahill did okay and so too Alli at times.
I thought it was a well rounded performance, Kane excepted.
We got a draw against a poor Russian side on the night, our failure to close these games out will cost us, we had chances but seem to want to pick an extra pass to often.
Vardy would have caused them problems late on and the fact that he can actually finish would make him a certain starter for me

2 critically ill, hope they come through OK. Some absolute bellend on my Facebook calling England fans trash, but she's a wasp loving egg chaser so I've blocked her.

How the hell did they get that in the ground? Crazy.
Anyone heard from CJ since the game? Hope he's safe.

All I've heard is that it was outside the ground.
Security seems to be a joke. Some saying on Twitter there was no police in the stadium and the response times have been poor. Mirror reporter got on the England team bus earlier completely unchallenged.
Seeing reports that NI fans are being attacked in Nice as well.
They've going to have to do something about this. It's only the second day and it's chaos.

Judging by his Twitter still at the ground waiting to collect bags which seems another shambles.
His last tweet said the police have completely lost control of the city.

Hodgson is a clueless fool, as soon as we got the lead we went all out defense to win the game 1-0 we weren't trying to score from that point onwards. It was like watching us in Coleman or Pressley where we get the goal and then try to protect the lead for the rest of the match.

Anyone. Some were just sitting there eating pizza. The police tear gassed local kids, local elderly people and the England player's wives and kids.

Another bloodbath after the game. Rumours going round that someone pushed an England fan in front of a train.

Nothing on the news about that cj, usual skirmishes but more issues prior to the game

I thought he played better than I've seen him for a long time. However his second shot was also very close to the keeper. If he'd put it even within a foot of the corner the keeper would have had no chance. Playing in midfield is no excuse for those two shots.
