Regarding events on the field, Collymore bemoaned England’s failure to secure all 3 points against Russia.

But he praised their “pace, tempo, guile and imagination” in falling just short in their opening group game. Looking ahead to their next encounter with Wales in Lens, Collymore stated Hodgson’s men must not lose and find themselves in an unenviable position:

England need something, Wales don’t.
