    Third place

    It's like something from the Eurovision song contest for Albania now. They must wait to find out if they will be bumped out of being one the four best third-placed sides.

    They are currently third in the table. 

    What happens if the teams finishing fourth and fifth are level on points? It comes down to goal difference, then goals scored, then fair play rankings from the group and finally - if they still cannot be divided - Uefa national team coefficient rankings.

    Information overload for 10:30pm...

  3. England to rest Rooney?published at 22:34 British Summer Time 19 June 2016

    The overnight newspapers are all singing the same tune - Roy Hodgson is going to make six changes when England play Slovakia, with captain Wayne Rooney one of the men sitting it out.

    Switzerland 0-0 France

    More from France coach Didier Deschamps: "Paul Pogba was the lifeforce of the match in the first half, he was the heart and soul. In the second half he didn't get forward but he has huge potential and I have huge confidence in him. We need Pogba at the top level."

    Switzerland 0-0 France

    France coach Didier Deschamps: "But for a great goalkeeper and a few centimetres, we would have scored goals. You can always criticise but we kept a clean sheet and we finished top of the group.

    "Every match is difficult. Apart from Spain, one or two examples, everyone is finding it tough." 

  6. 'The pitch is annoying'published at 22:25 British Summer Time 19 June 2016

    Switzerland 0-0 France

    France coach Didier Deschamps: "The pitch is annoying. I don't know who is responsible. We are only in the group stage and it is in a state."

    A pretty dull game, but this effort from Dimitri Payet very nearly lit the night up once more...

    The night's sporting drama switches to the greens of Oakmont, where Ireland's Shane Lowry is seeing his lead slip away.

    Can he hold on to win the US Open?

    Romania 0-1 Albania

    Albania now have the odd scenario where they will have to wait until the conclusion of the group stage, on Wednesday, to find out if they are going home or playing the winners of Group B. Or Group C.

    It's nice and straightforward this, isn't it?

    It will be difficult for Albania to go through, they have -2 goal difference but what a great result for them to win a game at the Euros.

    Peter Dudley: Absolutely well chuffed for Albania after all that nation has been through, let's hope it's enough for their sakes

    E.P.: Wow, wow!! Albania have done it!!! They have beaten Romania 1st win in a major tournament

    Nathan Spafford: So, either #ALB deservedly progress to the last 16, or go out with a bang.

    Albania nearly got to the finish line against France, and they did so well against Switzerland with 10 men for a long time in that game. You have to give the Albania manager credit.

    Switzerland 0-0 France

    Joseph Hending: Don't bother swapping shirts lads. They'll have disintegrated before you get home.

    Big Gray: Need to start introducing straight reds for all that grappling, pulling & dragging lark in the box

    Martin Flynn: Not the greatest of games, lacking a bit of quality much like Switzerland's shirts.   

  16. 'No pressing from France'published at 21:57 British Summer Time 19 June 2016

    Switzerland 0-0 France

    Rio Ferdinand
    Former England defender

    France were not pressing at all, they were at least five yards off all the time. They cannot afford to play like that against better sides. They will have to increase their intensity against Germany or Spain.

  17. 'France got away with it'published at 21:56 British Summer Time 19 June 2016

    Switzerland 0-0 France

    Alan Shearer
    Ex-England captain on BBC One

    Switzerland definitely should have had a penalty, France got away with it, Sagna got away with it. He had hold of his shirt for two or three seconds.

    Albania were going around and winning corners towards the end and getting their fans fired up for them. Brilliant passion, great to see.

    Albania have got three days to knock about in France to find out whether their third place finish will be enough to see them through to the last 16. 

    Time to get some sightseeing in.
