England coach Roy Hodgson feels little for Wales following Euros victory

Raheem Sterling and Harry Kane have so far struggled to find their feet in a front three in which Adam Lallana has impressed, with the England manager’s half-time changes perhaps showing the way forward for his side in the tournament.

The English now find themselves in first place in Group B and can not finish lower than third, likely earning a spot in the last 16.

Daniel Sturridge’s strike saw England leapfrog Wales at the top of Group B, setting up what is sure to be a nervy night in Toulouse.

Hodgson said he now faced a selection headache for the final match as Group B leaders against Slovakia in St Etienne on Monday, knowing a draw will be enough to see his team through.

I WAS PLEASED for Roy Hodgson that England managed to get past Wales on Thursday afternoon as for me, I think that overall when looking at his time in charge, he has done a great job.

But Vardy is backing his rival to prove his form on the Euro 2016 stage.

“But I couldn’t care if I perform my worst in every single game, the important thing for me is doing the best for my nation”.

“You know you’re going to be up against it from the start [against England], it was a tough game”, he said.

England deserved their victory over the 90 minutes against Wales and what I found so encouraging was the vibrancy and resilience of the young players.

“It’s all in the last game”, Coleman said. “It’s whichever team’s able to put the disappointment behind them from this middle round of fixtures which will prevail”, added Coleman.

After drawing 1-1 against Russian Federation in their Euro opener, England came back strongly from a goal down to beat Wales 2-1 on Thursday.

The England team will be announced on Monday morning, with match highlights and summary being published later. We needed to beat Wales and we did and overall, I thought we were fantastic.

But the former Cardiff and Celtic man insists he will be in the mix for the crucial final Group B meeting with Russian Federation in Toulouse on Monday. After a challenging start to the tournament on and off the field, England can look to its group closer against Slovakia with renewed optimism. Russian Federation is last with one point. “A lot of us were calling for them but it’s easier said than done when you are the manager”.

Injured for much of Liverpool’s season and reduced to a watching brief as England’s Group B opener against Russian Federation finished 1-1, the 26-year-old was thrown on for the second half against Wales along with Jamie Vardy.
