Yes, you are right. The players do look more comfortable.

England have this in the bag, Jordan Henderson is coming to save the day.

Parker looked tired

would have put Phil Jones on though in a holding role

I think I noticed Parker once all match. Not necessarily a bad thing, just didn't do anything to stand out

BBC sports news correspondent Dan Roan in Donetsk:
"I've rarely seen a worse decision-maker, in any walk of life, than referee Mr Rizzoli."

As I mentioned a few hours ago, France won 2-1 eight years ago with two stoppage-time goals. We are closing in on that time...
Tom Rostance, BBC Sport

Second half wasn't as entertaining as the first. Hart had a great game for England. Draw is a fair result

That is a hideous goaltending jersey. Come on Joe, show some style.

Do France think they're Spain? They're not beating anyone playing like that.

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...

I don't get why France has a player like Benzema who's 6'3"(?) and continue to play the ball to his feet. That's the easiest game I've seen John Terry defend.

I am surprised they didn't try and attack more through the left

the last time JT had to play RCB he got murdered by Germany, he only likes playing on the left

either way, draw was a fair result, need a result vs Sweden which I think is doable and then the White Pele comes back

I think thats the English game plan. Draw France, draw Sweden and beat the Ukraine to go through.

4 of Sweden's starting 11 are named Andriy.
