Looking forward to taking my lads to the Portugal game..... Decent prices too..... £20 for me and £10 each for my boys. Our first ever England game.

I reckon Kane would do well as a 10 because he often drops deep for Spurs in search of the ball and by having him play there he can have more influence on the game. Potentially, with Vardy in front of him stretching the opposition's defence, he could be very dangerous there. Playing them as a pair up front could be good too, though.

Does this era of England remind anybody else of Nigel Clough's Derby County era?

Period of stability and rebuilding, modest expectations, young players coming through and fewer and fewer big names in the squad. Just a team working for one another. 

They've even presented this 4-3-3 formation as a possibility against Russia (although I'd argue it's more of a 4-3-1-2:

                                 Vardy           Kane

                                         Rooney

                  Wilshere            Dier                Alli

Rose                 Cahill                  Smalling                  Clyne

                                           Hart

 

Presumably with Rooney playing deeper than Martin would in a Derby XI 4-3-3 and Kane and Vardy as strikers rather than wingers. Dier in the Thorne role. Actually, it's definitely a 4-3-1-2, no idea why they said it was a 4-3-3.

I think Kane is so good at poaching goals both inside and outside the box, it would be a bit of a waste to have him back in a No. 10 role.

Has it finished yet?!

England are so boring that I fell asleep. 

Just shy of 60 PL goals in Kane, Vardy and Alli alone this season. We'll score goals and haven't been boring to watch. It's not a boring England side like it was with Lampard, Gerrard etc.
