Terry delighted with England qualification if not performance

England qualified for Euro 2012 with a 2-2 draw in Montenegro but threw away a two goal lead and had Wayne Rooney dismissed with a straight red card in the second half. The Manchester United striker was sent off after kicking out at Miodrag Dzudovic with England leading 2-1. Asked if Rooney had given the team any explanation for why he lashed out, Terry told Sky Sports: "No, we've just got in.

"He had a little bit of a tussle and it's one of those things. Fortunately we're through and it didn't cost us so we're happy that we're through and that goes for everyone.

"Tonight was always going to be tough, Switzerland away was going to be tough, so all over the campaign we can be pleased with how we've come on since the World Cup.

"We're a little bit disappointed obviously after being 2-0 up, we're disappointed to end up drawing the game. But it's a great thing to get where we've got, we're top and we've worked hard all the way through."
