England host Russia in their opening game and I like the chances of opposing Russia here.
A strong attacking season for Spurs and Leicester has seen Vardy and Kane be contenders up front and with ROoney slotting in behind they can score more than usual.
Russia are not the force they are expected to be here as they won't be at full strength.
Also, they are an older unit and England will look to outfox them with pace and creativity.
Russia disappointed in the World Cup with a poor effort and I expect a similar show here from them and in a group like this it is hard to see them getting any wins as they come into this tournament after some unconvincing displays in friendlies.
I think this will be a keenly contested affair but the extra quality of England should see them go through.
