ENGLAND OFF TO A GOOD START

England supporters soak up the atmosphere– and the beer— in Donetsk where England got off to a creditable start in the European Championships with a 1-1 draw against highly-fancied France.
   As skipper Steven Gerrard said afterwards: “We caused them as many problems as they caused us so we’re satisfied with the performance.

  “It’s great to get off the mark points-wise.”

  The result means England are still to win an opening game at the European Championships in eight attempts, while France are still yet to win a European Championships game which hasn’t included Zinedine Zidane or Michel Platini. 
   England next play Sweden in Kiev on Friday and Ukraine on the following Tuesday.
