England coach Roy Hodgson is unhappy with Tottenham midfielder Scott Parker.

After the 1-1 draw with France, Parker said: "The one thing we showed was a lot of heart and commitment. Whether that wins you tournaments, I don't know."

But England boss Hodgson hit back and said: "I'm surprised Scott questioned how far it would take us. I can understand he said we showed heart and commitment but I thought he would have said that in a positive way.

"All tournaments are won by teams that are very well organised, very much together, very committed to the cause.

"We've seen many times in the past that teams that haven't been at all fancied at the start have used these qualities to go far and sometimes win the tournament.

"I think we always show ambition when we play.

"We didn't lack ambition in the last game but every game is different, every game poses a different threat.

"I'm hoping tomorrow we will have more of the ball in the important areas and hope we will pose a lot of questions for the Swedish defence."
