I know people will say we aren't doing well enough but this Slovakian defence has been particularly stubborn tonight.

Milner coming on has to go down as one of the worst substitutes of the tournament.
I am starting to think the England do better when I am not watching! I feel like I am bad luck for them 
I wish I could say we were knocking on the door, but we're just not. Ponderous, tedious and utterly toothless.

The FA will probably give Hodgson a contract extension after this performance.
There was the chance for Sturridge!
Slovakia caught square by a terrific ball over the top from Dier.

Yeah, there haven't been many open games. Lots of these sides have been too negative because they're not in danger of being outright eliminated but a lot of the more attacking sides haven't been creative enough at all.
