England kicked off their Euro 2016 campaign in typical fashion, being frustrated due to Russia scoring a late equaliser.
Despite an impressive first half performance by England at the Stade Vélodrome in Marseille, England were unable to get the win they wanted to relieve the pressure ahead of their ‘derby match’ against Wales.
Russia’s captain Vasili Berezutski headed an injury-time equaliser against the run of play after Eric Dier had given England the lead with a ferocious free-kick from just outside the penalty area in the 73rd minute.
Of the football boots on show, Nike had an overwhelming 77%, followed by Adidas with 18%. The only other brand in display was Puma, worn by Adam Lallana.
