England's Euro campaign is up and coming as Eric Dier's free-kick made is against Russia.

England conceded a sickening injury-time equaliser to leave an air of disappointment looming over their Euro Group B draw with Russia, with further clashes between the rival fans breaking out in the stands of the Stade Velodrome at the full-time whistle. A Vasili Berezutski header was bundled over the line to beat Joe Hart and a recovering Chris Smalling, but the ball already appeared to have crossed the whitewash by the time Aleksandr Kokorin made contact with the ball. England thought they had done enough to win the match when Eric Dier rifled home a free-kick from the edge of the box, but for the ninth time in succession the Three Lions failed to win their opening match at a European Championship.

Going for the was no surprise, which means either Kane or Vardy have to be left out, as there is only room for one out and out striker. Of course Harry Kane is outstanding, and is normally as prolific as Vardy, but against an aging Russia n defence you want a player who is going to make a right nuisance of himself, and Vardy fits that bill a lot better than Harry Kane. One of the key surprises before the game was putting Rooney at left midfield, and I must say I was very skeptical.
