An exciting match. Fabregas had a penalty saved to keep Ukraine in the match 1-0 Spain.

Meanwhile England look set to go perfect thought their group. Their fans are getting into it in the stands with the home supporters though.

Not unusual for them to build up their fans' hopes before dashing them in crunch time. Not unlike Arsenal, sorry to say.

What is England's best line-up at the moment, assuming everyone is fit?

I would line up at EURO 2016 like this:

-----------------Hart-----------------
Clyne---Smalling---Stones----Gibbs
---------------Dier-------------------
Walcott--Barkley---Wilshere---Rooney
---------------Kane------------------

Erik Dier because he's playing there for Tiny Totts and England need a ball-winner in there. Don't want a repeat of the World Cup where they were so open defensively. Phil Jones is another similar player who can do that role. Maybe Henderson plays for one of Barkley and Wilshere.

Kane up front is self-explanatory. He's not a huge goal scorer, but he's a creative forward who will help bring the midfield into play and create for Rooney and Walcott. Both strikers have to sacrifice themselves for the greater good and play on the flanks. Ox and Sterling might even be better options than Rooney right now.

Not sure what Hodgson is doing, though. Seems like there's way too much experimentation. Maybe in the upcoming friendlies we will see what kind of tactic he has settled on.

This is a nice piece I noticed England best player is not in 2 of those 5 teams. The pundits did state their concerns over Daniel Sturridge so I understand why some of them are reluctant to put him in the starting 11. I was surprised though that "one game wonder" John Stones made all FIVE teams, and had a chuckle when one of the observers stated that "John Stones is too good to leave out" and another stated "In defence I wanted to accommodate John Stones"....
