England have qualified for the knockout stages of Euro 2016 after finishing second in group B.
Here, Football.co.uk takes a look at how manager Roy Hodgson has fared so far.
TEAM SELECTION
Starting an out-of-form Raheem Sterling against Russia and Wales was, in hindsight, an error which was corrected by the time of the final game. Harry Kane's inclusion for the opening two matches did not work out and while numerous changes against Slovakia were criticised and the game produced the most chances of the group stage with Daniel Sturridge and Jamie Vardy leading the line while newcomers Nathaniel Clyne and Jordan Henderson performed well. Starting Jack Wilshere was a mistake, however. Eric Dier, in the midfield holding role, has justified his selection.
TACTICS
Hodgson has started 4-3-3 in the matches but has switched to a 4-4-2 diamond formation during some games. His preferred set-up has seen Adam Lallana flourish, although not necessarily providing great width, but Sterling's lack of form saw him struggle. It worked better in the second half against Wales when he had Vardy, Sturridge and Marcus Rashford as his front three. Playing Wayne Rooney in a deeper role has had limited success but Dier has coped well in his first major tournament. First-choice full-backs Kyle Walker and Danny Rose have provided some much-needed width in attack in both formations.
SUBSTITUTIONS
Hodgson has had mixed fortunes with his changes from the bench as he was praised for hooking the ineffective Sterling but lambasted for taking off Rooney as he tried to close out a win against Russia only to concede a late equaliser in the opener. By contrast, sending on Sturridge and Vardy at half-time of the Wales game, and later Rashford, to change the game earned praise. His changes in the Slovakia game were predictable, although not influential enough, although he probably should have removed Wilshere at half-time.
