Wayne Rooney respects Roy Hodgson’s decision to rest him for the goalless draw with Slovakia and challenged England’s players to make their fresh legs count during the knockout stages of Euro 2016.
Rooney was one of six alterations to the side that started the last-gasp win over Wales in Group B, with Hodgson rotating his full-backs, resting Dele Alli alongside Rooney and handing starts up front to Jamie Vardy and Daniel Sturridge.
England’s dominance in Saint-Etienne went unrewarded, with the skipper introduced as a second-half substitute, allowing Wales to top the group courtesy of a 3-0 win over Russia.
Rooney and his team-mates face surprise package Iceland in Nice on Monday, but find themselves lumbered in a devilishly hard section of the draw alongside hosts France, champions Spain and Germany.
“It wasn’t just me it was five other players,” he told a news conference at England’s Chantilly base. “It’s a decision that we have to make in terms of keeping players fresh for the knockout stages and believing in the players we’ve got.
“I agree that the 23 players we’ve got are good enough and we should have won the game. You’ve got to give credit to our opponents, they defended really well
“We’re through to the knockout stages and that’s what matters. I respect Roy’s decision. Whether he plays or rests me you, respect that.
“As a player, you want to play. In terms of me, going into Monday I’ll be a lot fresher.
“It’s a great chance now for the players who’ve had the rest to use the energy that they’ve gained from not playing 90 minutes.”
On whether England know what their best XI is, Rooney insisted that was not his question to answer.
“In terms of knowing the best team, that’s a question you have to ask Roy,” he said. “We do need to be a bit more ruthless in terms of the chances that we have.
“As we’ve seen in the last game if you don’t take them they can cost you a result
“Going into the knockout stages, when we get those chances we need to take full advantage of them.”
Should England prevail over Iceland, a potential quarter-final against France in Saint-Denis lies in wait.

Far from being intimidated, Rooney abides by the adage that in order to be the best, you must beat the best.
“We’re confident, we believe we can go to the end in this competition,” he added. “Whether that’s playing the Frances, Spains, Germanys, whoever it is.

Kalinic expects Croatia to progress
Confidence is high within the Croatia camp after their Euro 2016 victory over Spain and Nikola Kalinic believes they can progress past Portugal in the last 16.
Ante Cacic’s side stunned the defending champions in their final match of Group D as a late Ivan Perisic goal secured a come-from-behind 2-1 victory and top spot in the section.
That set up a last-16 clash with Portugal after they were forced to settle for third place in Group F due to Iceland’s dramatic late winner in their clash with Austria. Portugal needed to come from behind on three occasions to draw 3-3 with Hungary, with Cristiano Ronaldo finally finding form with two goals, becoming the first player to score in four European Championships in the process.
Even though Portugal and Ronaldo showed signs of their best attacking form in the Hungary draw, Kalinic is confident Croatia can navigate their way to the quarter-finals.
“Sure we could have got an easier opponent, but we have to face a high-quality team that has great individuals, but everything will depend on us, on our performance, and I believe we will win,” he told a media conference.
“Yes, we can [control the game], we are one of the best, if not the best team in the Euros. We have shown that in the group stage and again everything will depend on us, especially our midfield that is by far the strongest in the Euros and surely can deal with Portugal. “We will dominate and I am sure we will progress.”
Keeping close tabs on Ronaldo could prove difficult given he appears to have returned to form with his double against Hungary, but Kalinic – who scored Croatia’s first goal against Spain – expects Cacic’s coaching team to come up with a plan to nullify his threat. Cheap 2016/17 Away Alex Morgan Replica Men's Soccer Jersey #13 He added: “Sure Ronaldo is one of best players in the world and he has shown that in the last match.
“They depend on him a lot, and mostly wait for what is he going to do.

Prediction: Croatia vs Portugal
Verdict: Both teams to score – yes
Odds: 5/4
Bookmaker: William Hill
Croatia have recorded a memorable win over Spain in the final match of the group stage to progress into the knockouts as one of tournament’s most convincing teams. Portugal struggled throughout the competition, but with Cristiano Ronaldo back in form Fernando Santos’ men are not to be easily discarded.
Croatia Balkan country has been one of the biggest surprises of the group stage at the 2016 European Championship finals. Hadn’t it been for a disruptive element against Czech Republic, they would have had a perfect record from three games. Still, a bizarre collapse in the closing stages of the match saw them succumb to a 2-2 draw which had them hanging on the ropes.
Not many people have been giving too many chances to Ante Cacic’s men against Euro 2012 winners, but even without one of their best players Luka Modric Croatia remained a force to be reckoned with. Other players, most notably Ivan Perisic who rose up to the occasion to present himself as one of Euro 2016’s early stars. Barcelona enforcer Ivan Rakitic provided much needed support from behind which helped his team record a memorable 2-1 win over La Roja propelling them into the knockout stages as group winners. Foloowing a win over Spain Croatia’s Nikola Kalinic insists that Vatreni are one of the favourites to win the title, but there is still a long way to go until the end of the road and Croatia need to keep their feet firmly on the ground.
Team News Ante Cacic is likely to stick with his choice with Ivan Perisic and Nikola Kalinic cementing their places in the team thanks to wonderful performances.
Real Madrid star Luka Modric still remains a doubt through his injury, together with Mario Mandzukic, though versatile midfielder could make his way back into the team. Portugal
Fernando Santos’ men have had a frustrating campaign at the opening stages of the Euro 2016 and Cristiano Ronaldo throwing a journalist’s microphone into the pond is the best way to prove the anxiety and frustration. Draws against Iceland and Austria have put Cristiano Ronaldo under the spotlight, with Real Madrid star’s form under serious criticism.
Facing a great deal of pressure, Cristiano Ronaldo and his teammates entered the game against Hungary determined to prove their worth, but all they got was another frustrating affair as they have been forced to chase the lead three times in the match. Gera opened the scorings after 19 minutes, but Nani managed to level the score three minutes before the half-time whistle. Hungary got another lead through Dzsudzsak’s brace, but Cristiano Ronaldo took centre stage with a brace of his own to salvage a huge point for his team. Having avoided early elimination, the Seleccao now head into their game against Croatia with restored confidence and self-belief eager to put all public doubts to bed and step up the game when it is most needed. alex morgan replica jersey Team News
Portugal head coach Fernando Santos is unlikely to make significant changes to his line-up for the upcoming match against Croatia.
Cristiano Ronaldo will once again lead the way for Portugal, while Ricardo Quaresma could be in line for a starting place. What is more, Eliseu is likely to be awarded his second start at the tournament after a fine display against Hungary. Key Factors To Consider
Croatia are unbeaten in their last ten games in all competitions Cacic’s men defeated Spain which was La Roja’s first Euro loss since 2004 Portugal notched up 3 straight draws at Euro 2016 Ronaldo is the 1st player to score in 4 Euros
Portugal’s captain holds a record of 17 final appearances in the competition Conclusion Croatia are playing in excellent form at the moment and must be taken quite seriously in this competition. Even without their key man Luka Modric, Vatreni are still highly dangerous with plenty of players capable of winning a game. Portugal managed to restore some of their lost confidence with a 3-3 draw versus Hungary and Cristiano Ronaldo will be highly motivated to keep his team in the competition. A highly exciting game is expected.

´We always score our penalties´ – Hallgrimsson sends warning to England
Heimir Hallgrimsson has warned penalty “obsessed” England to “watch out” as his joint Iceland coach Lars Lagerback prepares to renew a long-held acquaintance with Roy Hodgson at Euro 2016.
England’s 0-0 draw with Slovakia left them progressing from Group B as runners-up and it was confirmed they will tackle the Nordic newcomers in Nice on Monday in the round of 16 when Iceland defeated Austria 2-1.
The Three Lions have struggled to score so far at the European Championship, while Hallgrimsson and Lagerback’s debutants have proven to be a stubborn, defensively organised opponent.
That raises the spectre of yet another dreaded shootout to decide who proceeds to the quarter-finals. And perhaps not fully appreciating England’s awful record from the spot on the big stage, Hallgrimsson sounded a note of surprise when asked if his players will be practicing penalties this week.
“No we haven’t, but probably we’ll start it now. I [already] had a question [about it]. You are obsessed with penalties in England,” he said. “I had a question from an English guy there and he asked me, ‘what’s the ratio?’. And when I think back we’ve scored every [time]. We always score our penalties. So watch out.”
If Iceland’s penalty prowess is not worrying enough, Lagerback has an impressive record in competitive matches against the Three Lions, securing draws against the more fancied heavyweight side at the World Cup in 2002 and 2006. He said: “It’s always nice playing England, I have very good experiences of that. We will try to keep that going.”
Lagerback will be going up against a man held in high esteem in his native Sweden, England manager Hodgson having, along with Bob Houghton, helped to modernise football in the country.
“I’ve known Roy since the 70s,” he said. Latest Alex Morgan Soccer Jersey Home, Away, Free Shipping & Exchanges Everyday! “So that gives me a little bit of an extra kick. [But] I won’t be taking any contact from him, he has his hands full like we do. He’s one of my friends, I regard him as that.”
Asked if he believes Iceland’s defensive solidity and England’s struggles in front of goal could prove to be a key factor in the game at Allianz Riviera, he said: “I hope so, we have shown we are getting better and better every year.

Noble expects West Ham stay for Payet
Mark Noble expects Dimitri Payet to stay at West Ham because the France star “loves the club”.
After firing 12 goals in all competitions in a stunning first season in England, Payet has carried his fine form onto the international stage at Euro 2016.
Unsurprisingly, having netted fine strikes in two late wins for the host nation, the 29-year-old is reportedly attracted suitors away from the Olympic Stadium.
However, club captain Noble believes his team-mate will remain at West Ham. “I think he will be,” he told Sky Sports. “I’ve been in a lot of contact with him over the summer and he loves the football club.
“But football is football, so you never know, but obviously we’d all like to see him back here in the summer. alex morgan jerseys “We were all hoping he would go [to the Euros, and earlier in the season] I said to him: ‘Dim, I’m 100 per cent [sure] you’re going to go’, even though he thought he had no chance.

Icelandic strongman Magnusson mocks Portugal´s Ronaldo
Icelandic former World’s Strongest Man Magnus Ver Magnusson has hit back at Cristiano Ronaldo in a scathing Facebook post after the Portugal captain had earlier criticised his nation’s attitude to drawing their Euro 2016 opener.
Ronaldo was unimpressed with the mass celebrations of the tournament’s least populous country after they battled to a shock 1-1 draw.
However, with Iceland, appearing at their first major tournament, finishing above Portugal in Group F, the four-time World’s Strongest Man winner has delighted in responding to the Real Madrid star.
alex morgan 13 jersey “Dear Cristiano Ronaldo,” he wrote on his Facebook page. “When you said Iceland will never win anything I bet you weren’t expecting this as the final results of the qualifying group. “Have a good look you self centered egotistical ******.”
Magnusson then attached an image of the group’s final standings, showing Iceland in second after their last-ditch 2-1 win over Austria on Wednesday.

Croatia v Portugal: Cacic determined to spring another shock
Croatia boss Ante Cacic believes his side have shown they are more than capable of defeating Portugal to book a spot in the quarter-finals of Euro 2016.
A surprise come-from-behind 2-1 win over holders Spain saw Croatia finish top of Group E, following an earlier victory over Turkey and a 2-2 draw with Czech Republic.
Portugal have won all three of their previous games with Croatia without conceding a goal, including a 3-0 triumph in their only prior competitive encounter at Euro 96.
But with Croatia now unbeaten in 12 matches – the longest run of any side left in the finals – Cacic is confident they can survive another difficult draw.
“In this phase of the competition there are no easy opponents and we probably got the most difficult,” he said. “But we were in the toughest group of Euro 2016 and we successfully went through, so there is no reason not to be confident in this match too. alex morgan soccer “We respect Portugal but we believe in our quality, collective and the character we showed so far. We are looking forward to this new challenge.”
Portugal progressed by virtue of three draws from three matches, the last of which was a six-goal thriller against Group F winners Hungary. Captain Cristiano Ronaldo shook off some of the frustrations of his tournament so far with two goals in that game, becoming the first player to score in four separate European Championships and helping his side stretch their unbeaten competitive run to 10 matches in the process.
Experienced goalkeeper Eduardo plays his club football in Croatia with Dinamo Zagreb, and the 33-year-old has warned his team-mates to expect a stern test. “They have enormous talent, they’re young, they have a strong competitive mentality and they will create a lot of problems for us,” he said.
“We have confidence in our potential and we believe we can beat them. At this stage, there are no easy games. Everyone knows that.” Domagoj Vida is back from suspension for Croatia, who hope to have Luka Modric fit again after a groin injury kept him out of the win over Spain.
Raphael Guerreiro returned to Portugal training on Thursday after a thigh problem and should be back for the meeting at Stade Bollaert-Delelis in Lens. alex morgan soccer jersey Key Opta Stats: – This is the second time Croatia have finished top of their group in a major tournament after Euro 2008 – they were then knocked out on penalties by Turkey in the quarter-finals.
– Croatia have lost only one of their last 10 games at the Euros (0-1 v Spain in June 2012), winning six and drawing three. – However, World Cup 1998 is the only time Croatia have actually won a game in the knockout stages of a major tournament – they won three games to finish third. – Portugal have made it to the knockout stages in all seven of their European Championship participations.
– They have played the most games in the history of the European Championships without ever winning the tournament: 31 games, 0 trophy. – Only Davor Suker has scored/assisted more goals (nine goals, one assist) than Ivan Perisic for Croatia at major tournaments (four goals, three assists).

Germany optimistic on Boateng fitness
Jerome Boateng could be available for Germany’s second round Euro 2016 match against Slovakia, with assistant coach Marcus Sorg “optimistic” about the defender’s fitness.
Boateng was substituted with a muscle injury during Germany’s final group match, a 1-0 win over Northern Ireland, but Sorg revealed that the Bayern Munich centre-back is improving.
Should Boateng be unavailable, Shkodran Mustafi could return to the Germany defence after scoring in their group opener against Ukraine, which Mats Hummels missed.
“His muscular induration is getting better,” said Sorg. “The medical staff and Jerome are working on it. “We are all very optimistic, but I’m not a prophet. We all hope that it works out and will do everything for it.”
Germany’s other main selection dilemma for the last-16 clash surrounds the central striking role, which Mario Gomez took for the Northern Ireland game, scoring the only goal of the match, with Mario Gotze moving wide after operating as a false nine against Ukraine and Poland. “It’s a little more complex [to say who will play],” assistant coach Thomas Schneider said. “Mario Gomez is a player who likes to go in the box and comes from the last row of the defence.
“Mario Gotze is someone who can move in small spaces and who can also attract several players. One could see that they can also play together. We have a lot of options there.” Leroy Sane has yet to make an appearance at the finals but speculation about his future has made headlines, with Manchester City reportedly interested in signing the Schalke winger.
“In the end the player needs to decide [if he wants to decide his future during Euro 2016],” Schneider said of the 20-year-old. “For us it’s important that the player brings good performances in the training and also in the game.
alex morgan usa jersey “Probably the whole topic can’t be avoided, but we still have the feeling that Leroy is highly focused on the training. If he talks with the coach some time I don’t see a problem.”
Sorg noted Sane’s pace could be an asset for Germany in the knock-out rounds despite the youngster’s lack of game-time so far. “Leroy has his qualities,” said Sorg. “If he has some space, if he can surprise the opponent with his speed.

O´Neill delighted with Northern Ireland draw placing
Michael O’Neill expressed his delight as Northern Ireland were placed in the “more favourable side of the draw” for the Euro 2016 knockout stages.
Ireland finished third in Group C with three points, qualifying marginally ahead of Albania and Turkey for the knockout stages of the competition.
Their reward is a last-16 tie against Wales, while the likes of hosts France, world champions Germany and defending European champions Spain are not potential opponents until the final. And O’Neill is delighted to avoid the majority big guns, while he is also relishing returning to Paris to face Wales at the Parc des Princes.
“It is going to be a fantastic game,” O’Neill said, regarding the clash with Wales. alex morgan jersey usa “We will be heading back to the Parc des Princes which as we know from Tuesday night [a 1-0 defeat to Germany] is a brilliant stadium. We will benefit from the familiarity of having been there already, of having done the journey and of having played on the pitch.
“The results put us in what is arguably the more favourable side of the draw, so we are pleased about that.

The flop XI of the Euro 2016 group stage: Kane and Ibrahimovic join limp Lewandowski
The group stage at Euro 2016 came to a glorious end on Wednesday with Portugal, Republic of Ireland and Iceland advancing in dramatic fashion to complete the last 16 line-up.
Cristiano Ronaldo, Robbie Brady and Arnor Ingvi Traustason were the headline-makers and while they will get plenty of plaudits there are others who will get nothing but criticism. Some will get the chance to put it right in France and the rest will ponder their below-par performances on a beach.
Here, Omnisport presents the worst XI of the group stage. We’ve gone for a 4-3-3 system and used Opta stats to back up our selections. Goalkeeper: Salvatore Sirigu (Italy)
When you are the understudy to Gianluigi Buffon you have to grasp the opportunity to impress when a first XI appearance comes along. Sirigu failed in this regard with a shaky performance against Republic of Ireland. Having being booked for a flare-up with Shane Long he then flapped at an 85th-minute cross, allowing Brady to head in the only goal of the game.
Right-back: Gokhan Gonul (Turkey) alex morgan jersey sale Part of a back four that conceded four goals in three games in France, Gonul managed to complete just 71 per cent of his passes in the defeat to Croatia and that figure dropped to 68 per cent against Czech Republic. In between came a 3-0 thrashing at the hands of Spain.
Centre-back: Aleksandar Dragovic (Austria) A tournament to forget for the Dynamo Kiev man. Sent off in the 2-0 defeat to Hungary that put Austria on the back foot in Group F, he also played a major role in the loss to Iceland that sealed their elimination, seeing a first-half penalty hit the left-hand post and bounce clear.
Centre-back: Lorik Cana (Albania) The best known player in the Albania squad and their captain, Cana had a tournament to forget. He saw red having been shown a second yellow card after just 36 minutes of their opening game against Switzerland and was not restored to the line-up for the 1-0 defeat of Romania which so nearly put them through.
Left-back: David Limbersky (Czech Republic) A passing completion rate of just 54 per cent against Spain set the tone. Limbersky looked shaky in the 2-2 draw with Croatia that followed and was dropped for their final game against Turkey.
Right-midfield: Andriy Yarmolenko (Ukraine) Arrived with a big reputation but delivered little, with two shots on target and one chance created the sum total of his efforts in France. A symbol, perhaps, of Ukraine’s miserable tournament with even coach Mikhail Fomenko admitting team morale was a problem.
Centre-midfield: Roman Neustadter (Russia) Much was made of Russia’s desperation to grant him citizenship with president Vladimir Putin reportedly intervening to push it through. It was not worth the effort, though, as the Ukraine-born midfielder who represented Germany in two friendlies did little to catch the eye. Overrun against England, he was taken off at half-time in the defeat to Slovakia and dropped for the 3-0 loss to Wales.
Left-midfield: Raheem Sterling (England) Remains the most frustrating member of Roy Hodgson’s squad. Against Russia in the Three Lions’ opener, his willingness to run at defenders put him in good positions only to waste his good work with an awful final ball. Sterling was even worse against Wales in match two before being replaced at half-time. He was not used against Slovakia.
Striker: Harry Kane (England) Has shown little of his deadly form for Tottenham and looked woefully out of sorts in his two starts against Russia and Wales. He was dragged off at half-time against the Welsh and dropped to the bench for the clash with Slovakia.
Striker: Robert Lewandowski (Poland) alex morgan jersey for sale Described by Northern Ireland boss Michael O’Neill as one of the two best number nines in world football (Luis Suarez being the other) – Lewandowski has looked anything but. The Bayern Munich striker has yet to register a shot on target in three games and missed an early sitter against Ukraine on Tuesday.
Striker: Zlatan Ibrahimovic (Sweden) A touch harsh perhaps given the paucity of talent around him, but when you constantly refer to yourself as a “legend”, you could forgive people for expecting you to play like one. No goals, just one shot on target and his side departed with a whimper.
