England show impressive positional dynamics in Russia draw

England kicked off their Euro campaign at the stunning Stade Velodrome in Marseilles on Saturday night.

Vasili Berezutski’s last minute header snatched a draw for the Russians, though England fans have much to be optimistic about over the coming weeks.
