We showed a lot of heart, but that won't be enough to win this tournament, says Parker
Head boy: Oxlade-Chamberlain was the surprise selection to face France in England's Group D opener

'On paper France were the favourites in the group and now we will go into the other two games and try and get a result there.

'But Sweden will be difficult. We've not got the best of records in competition against Sweden so it will be tough.'

 Parker, who was troubled by an achilles injury ahead of the tournament, was substituted during the second half.

 But he insisted: 'I'm fine really. I had a bit of fatigue and cramp and I just didn't want to put the team or myself in a vulnerable position.'
