2) Roy Hodgson’s questionable team selection
Roy Hodgson, in a wholesale fashion, made 6 changes to the XI which started against Wales for this crucial encounter. While many would argue that bringing in Jamie Vardy and Daniel Sturridge was a decision which had to be taken given the dismal performances of Raheem Sterling and Harry Kane in the previous two matches, there were some eyebrows raised on the inclusions of Jack Wilshere and Jordan Henderson in the places of Wayne Rooney and Dele Alli.
Wilshere’s performance was far from his best and Henderson though gave a decent performance, he was not as creative as Alli could have been, if played from the start.
Well, now that the group stages are done and dusted, Uncle Roy could not afford to make blunders in the team selections and will have to settle for a solid XI before their round-of-16 match.
