Your support makes all the difference.Roy Hodgson's decision to make wholesale changes backfired as England wasted the chance to top their Euro 2016 group, with a goalless draw against Slovakia only enough to see them through as runners-up to Wales.
Days after being praised to the hilt for his match-winning decision to bring on Daniel Sturridge and Jamie Vardy in Lens, the Three Lions boss made an error in judgement by making six alterations for Group B clash at the Stade Geoffroy Guichard.
England had not made so many changes at a European Championship finals since 1980 and the gamble, however calculated, did not pay off as Slovakia's stern defence held firm to secure a 0-0 draw in St Etienne.
Wales usurped Hodgson's men at the top of Group B as a result, meaning they now advance in second place and face a last-16 clash with the runners-up of Group F in Nice next Monday.
England therefore gave up the chance of facing a third-placed side at the Parc des Princes, just 34 miles from their Chantilly base, and makes their route to the final look more treacherous.
