England had almost 60% of possession but still failed to find a way through a stubborn Slovakia defence which battled to a scoreless draw against the Three Lions who still qualified for the knockout stages.
England defender Gary Cahill told ITV: "It was disappointing for us tonight. In the three games we have had the majority of the possession and today we have dominated play from start to finish and we couldn't unlock door. It is disappointing for us.
"The rhythm was there, we had ball constantly but just didn't have the cutting edge to open them up.
"It needed something special in games like that and we nearly did but it just wasn't to be.
"We are disappointed with the amount of possession we had we should have won the game.
"There is no point harking on about the first game. We have to move on; we are second in the group and have a huge game coming up.
"It gives us time to get back fresh. We tried to bring fresh legs in tonight and I thought we looked good and on another day we should win."
