Hodgson lashes out

England manager Roy Hodgson vowed that a looming Euro 2016 opponent will "pay" for his side's domination of games but failure to score.

Hodgson, whose contract ends after the European Championship finals, admitted his frustration after the 0-0 draw with Slovakia that meant the team finished second in Group B behind rivals Wales.

"I have to say I don't think we could have done too much more than we did -- we dominated the game from start to finish and had so many attempts and so many chances as well, and one day we're going to put those chances away," Hodgson said.

"As far as I'm concerned I can't fault the effort and the work the lads put in," added Hodgson, who made six changes to his starting line-up for the match in Saint-Etienne.

"It's a little bit embarrassing that we've played three games now and in each it's been attack versus defence.

"I actually never thought I'd see an England team in a tournament be able to dominate three games as much as we've done so that gives me some sort of satisfaction.

"I'm pretty sure that sooner or later we're going to make somebody, pay because if we keep dominating and creating chances like that we're going to score goals one day."

Wales won the group thanks to their 3-0 defeat of Russia, leaving England to face the runners-up in Group F in Nice next Monday, and possibly facing a quarter-final against hosts France.

"The way we are playing I'm not frightened of anybody," the manager said in his comments to British TV.
