We have dominated every corner of the pitch and every Slovakian player will be proud of that result," said England goalkeeper Hart in quotes reported by BBC Sport. "We are into the next round and nobody will want to play us. I haven't had anything to do in the whole tournament to be honest. We have been playing very well as a team. "There are good chances being made, I couldn't criticise anyone. Some heroic defending against us, it is frustrating, but we are through."England could also face Austria, Hungary or Iceland in the knockout stages should they not face Portugal.</blockquote>
