I personally think Sturridge makes better runs than Kane too. Kane's a great finisher but we've got nothing through the middle most of the time for Rooney to give that killer pass too. Rooney can run through gaps but he's rarely given a chance to get ahead of Kane.

Early on I'd have to give credit to Shadow. Rooney has been faultless and his passing could be the difference in a lot of games, assuming we get them. Just needs more of the ball than what he's getting.

All in all a very surprising performance from England. Needs to be tested against stronger opposition of course but still probably the most solid display since the Sven days. Good times ahead if it sticks.

As I said Russia were growing into it they fall right back again. A single goal would open the gates and crush them.
