Also, I am absolutely gutted. I was bursting with joy when we beat Wales with that last gasp goal. Not sure I've ever celebrated a goal like I did with that one. That is what following your nations football team is all about - in the pub with all your mates, having a drink and daring to dream...

Can we stop with the passion nonsense? We can accuse the England players of many things but I wouldn't say they have no passion. I'm positive they wanted to win that game just as much as Iceland did. For me, it comes down to mentality. From top to bottom, this country there is a negative...

Pepe and Fonte looked very good at the back. They should start Sanchez too, he was the only one who wanted to move forward with energy.

Are Wales the most over hyped team ever? We saw how bad they were against England. Its as if Coleman suddenly thinks he's a tactical genius as well.

Not sure I can endure another Bale and Williams love in. It's like the commentators are shocked when Bale makes a half decent pass. Apparently his cross was better than clean water.

Anyone else think Wales have been bigged up far too much? This has been like watching a mid table Championship game so far.

Starting positive, on the front foot is vital (as we have the previous 3 games I must say). However, scoring an early goal or taking the lead into half time is absolutely key. Really don't want us to be chasing that elusive goal all game again.

Drinkwater would not of changed any of our 3 results in the groups, let's be honest. Whilst, even if the changes against Slovakia were ridiculous, I really don't think the pattern of the game would have changed much regardless.

Ifs and buts though, no point crying about what might have been. Germany have topped their group and still find themselves in this half of the draw, Italy have looked one of the best teams and still find themselves drawing Spain.

France beat Italy in the quarter finals in 98. They would have also met Germany in the semi final, if Germany hadn't loss to Croatia in the quarters. Whilst, we've hardly been negative have we? I criticised the changes myself, but they were hardly negative ones.

Bored of the over analysis and over thinking regarding our national team. Everyone coming up with specific permutations, ifs and buts and what might have been. Personally, I think it's only fair to reserve judgement after the tournament, when we know how well or bad we did and where we...

If we want to win the tournament we have to play and beat the best teams, whether it be in the second round or quarter final. We win our next game and we'll all forget this game.

I think what we've needed to do in all 3 games is score in the first half. If we'd of took a lead into half time in any of the games I would have fully expected us to go on, score more and win convincingly. Every game has felt like we're just waiting and waiting for us to score and try to break...

Why would we even want to risk becoming weaker?

Why make wholesale changes? Rooney is our captain and probably been one of our best players so far along with Walker. Win the game, top the group, gain momentum. It's not a friendly.

Perhaps not a lack of respect, I'll take that comment back. They did what they needed to do to to try and wind England up I suspect. Just made the win that little bit sweeter did it not?

Lads, I hope you're all buzzing after that, and so you should be! I was down in the dumps at half time and felt gutted but nothing can take away that feeling when Sturridge scored! Sheer jubilation! That's the bit of luck we need and didn't have against Russia! What made it more sweeter was all...

I hear people saying that this result is bad for England, surely a Slovakia win was better than Russia winning?

Some positivity at last.

We make quite a habit of drawing our first group game in tournaments don't we?
