Wales and England are through to the knockout stages of Euro 2016 after their final Group B games.

Wales beat Russia 3‑0 to top the group at their first European Championship while England finished second after being held nil‑all by Slovakia.

England boss Roy Hodgson admitted finishing as runners‑up in the group was a "disappointment" but added they are not doomed yet.

Finishing as Group B runners‑up, England will next face the second‑placed team in Group F and that could well be Cristiano Ronaldo's Portugal ‑ who knocked England out of consecutive tournaments, at Euro 2004 and at the 2006 World Cup in Germany.

However, Austria, Hungary and Iceland can all still finish second ‑ with Group F's final matches to be played on Thursday.

It is the fourth time England have reached the knockout stages of a European Championship.
