Despite all the fears and worries regarding England's performance against the 'Mighty France'. The French seemed to get the rub of the green with several decisions 'missed' by the referee. The French attack also found themselves to long range shooting as the England defence held strong despite the Nasri goal that deceived his club team mate Joe Hart.The big issue from England was that the defence went to deep which inevitably lead to the goal. There were many positives and an all round decent performance and the debut of Oxlade-Chamberlain brings great promise not just for this competition but to England's future.So long as England management don't rush him too soon seeing how young he is, Oxlade-Chambers can become and England great.
Co hosts Ukraine got their campaign off to a win over Sweden. Not sure how many would have called this result but it gives hope to England when they face them this Friday. Former Chelsea man Andrei Shevchenko got both goals to put his side 2-1 up and an unbeaten start.
Russian fans continued to bring trouble to the championship. Following incidents at the opening game against the Czech Republic, Russian 'supporters' clashed with Polish 'supporters' before the game. Clashes lead to arrests and Uefa are going to investigate. It will be interesting to see what they do, I hope they come down tough, but whether they do, will be another matter.
