ENGLAND 1 - BELGIUM 0 - PRESS REACTION TO THE GAME

The press appear ambivalent about Roy Hodgson's England side after their 1-0 victory against Wembley yesterday.
Expectation is low, but none the less Roy can boast an unbeaten record going into the Euros with two solid, if uninspired, victories.
The Sun is perhaps the most unsure about Roy - but can't stop itself being optimistic. Their report opens that no one will be scared playing England after these performances, but that you couldn't fault the work rate or defensive solidity off the ball that will surely give them a chance.
The Guardian is upbeat, claiming the victories have been solid and that the squad should feel positive going into the Euros after another victory.
Perhaps most telling is Uncle Roy's summary, who admits we worked hard defensively but were uninspired offensively. It's good when your manager sees what you see. Roy and England have enough to get out of the group stage, yes?
