​So the wait goes on for England to win their opening game at the European Championships. Cheap Nike Air Max Outlet . For the fifth time running, going back to 1996, England scored first, but could not hold on. Their opening match record is now played 9, won 0, drawn 5, lost 4.This was two points dropped, after a performance which at times was exhilarating. It was reminiscent of Euro 2004 in Lisbon when England led the defending champions France going into injury time, only for it all to go wrong. Wayne Rooney played that night up front. This time he was Englands midfield general, using all of his experience to support Eric Dier and Dele Alli, as well as providing the platform from which England could attack. He looked a natural in his new role.Jack Wilshere replaced him near the end, and did his cause no harm with his performance, but it seems unlikely Roy Hodgson will change his midfield trio.  England manager Roy Hodgson reflected on a frustrating opening game In defence, Joe Hart did not have a great deal to do - the header which beat him was special. Gary Cahill and Chris Smalling subdued Russias central attacking threat, while full backs Kyle Walker and Danny Rose caused numerous problems with their surging runs forward. They both have speed to burn, but may be tested more by Wales.Up front, it was a mixed report. Adam Lallana produced some brilliant touches, the Russians were unsettled whenever he had the ball and his work-rate was terrific. However, he missed two very good chances in the first half, which could have completely changed the game. Adam Lallana impressed but needs to start taking his chances Raheem Sterling took every opportunity he could to run at Russia, but his decision-making could have been better and the fans were growing frustrated with him towards the end. Jamie Vardy on the left is one possible change Hodgson might contemplate.Harry Kane was a little subdued by his standards. He continued to take the set-pieces, before being replaced by Rooney and then Dier - with devastating effect! Daniel Sturridge may have to wait a little longer to start. Sterling under pressure Raheem Sterlings England place under threat, says Jamie Redknapp The lessons England must learn:1) score when you are on top2) be more ruthless in front of goal3) defend better at set-pieces Nick Collins is in France covering Englands Euro 2016 campaign England trail Wales by two points, but can still finish top of Group B - if they repeat this performance and add a couple of goals!Catch up with all the latest Euro 2016 news with Euro Breakfast each morning on Sky Sports News HQ from 6am Also See: England in wind-down mode UEFA threatens England Euro explusion Alcohol ban in senstive Euro areas Robson-Kanu: We can hurt England Discount Nike Air Max Wholesale . The move is retroactive to Aug. 1. Hosmer was originally hit on the hand in the first inning of a July 20 loss to Boston. He has played most of the time since, but missed a few contests due to the injury, then departed Thursdays win over the Twins and had tests that revealed the fracture. Wholesale Nike Air Max From China . - Mike Magee converted two penalty kicks in a 10-minute span of the first half and the Chicago Fire beat Sporting Kansas City 2-1 on Sunday.KANSAS CITY – Marcus Stromans major league debut may come sooner rather than later. But it will not be on the current road trip. Encouraged by Dustin McGowans start on Tuesday night at Kauffman Stadium, manager John Gibbons will hand him the ball again on Sunday in Pittsburgh and go with left-hander J.A. Happ on Monday in Philadelphia. "Well see where that takes us," said Gibbons. McGowan pitched into the seventh inning on Tuesday for just the second time this season. His spot in the rotation is vulnerable, with Gibbons on repeated occasions saying how much he values McGowan out of the bullpen. Happ, entering Thursdays series finale with the Royals, hadnt pitched in more than a week, a 2 2/3 inning performance against the Baltimore Orioles on April 23. He entered spring training with a spot in the rotation but posted a 20.57 ERA in four Grapefruit League appearances and missed time with inflammation in his back. His performance forced the Blue Jays to seek alternatives. Stroman, who turned 23 on Thursday, is coming off a 10-strikeout, one-walk, no-hit performance over six innings for the Triple-A Buffalo Bisons on Tuesday night. Along with Aaron Sanchez, he is considered a top pitching prospect and some in the organization believe he is major league-ready. GOSE RETURNS When the Blue Jays acquired Anthony Gose from the Astros on July 29, 2010, he was a hot prospect less than two weeks shy of his 20th birthday. Now, almost four years later, Gose is up for a second time this season and has been on the option train for a couple of seasons. Hes up when the Blue Jays need him and back in Buffalo when they dont. "Hes got to play and be productive," said Gibbons. "Its like anybody else. When it comes down to the big leagues its about production. Theres no secrets; you can hope guys are going to do something but eventually its all about production. Thats why its so hard to make it in the big leagues and stay for any length of time. Thats why guys come and go, bounce up and down. Big part of it is opportunity but when you get it youve got to take advantage of it." In 19 games with the Bisons, Gose is hitting .235/.350/.309. Hes walking at a higher clip than usual with 12 free passes in 81 plate appearances (14.8 per cent). "I think it was too cold for me to swing," Gose joked. "I wasnt trying to do anything different. I wasnt working on anything. I just walked a little bit more earlier on. Fake Nike Air Max Replica. " He admits its difficult to get into a groove early in the International League season because of the weather. Games are often rained out; sometimes games are snowed out. "I think this year was much colder and a lot longer than last year, especially in other cities also," said Gose. "I dont know if its going to warm up. Its been freezing. I got here and its freezing too. Everywhere Im playing baseball its cold." ROSTER MOVES To accommodate the recall of Gose, the Blue Jays optioned infielder Jonathan iaz to Triple-A Buffalo. Toronto also purchased the contract of infielder/outfielder Steve Tolleson. To make room for Tolleson on the 40-man roster, outfielder Moises Sierra was designated for assignment. The moves give the Blue Jays additional depth in the absence of Melky Cabrera, who was hit by a pitch on his left shin in Wednesday nights game and is listed as day-to-day. HIGH PRAISE FOR BAUTISTA Pointing out that Jose Bautista is good at baseball is a waste of everyones time. Nobodys splitting the atom with such an observation. Through the first month of the season, Bautista is baseballs leader in on-base percentage (.465) and on-base plus slugging percentage (1.065). His eight home runs prorate to a total of 48 over a 162-game schedule. Defensively, Bautista has one outfield assist and has come close on a couple of other occasions. His arm is feared by opposition baserunners. What arent so obvious to the viewing public are Bautistas contributions to game preparation. "Hes helped me out more than you can imagine, more than I ever imagined (he would)," said first-year outfield coach Tim Leiper. "When Im out there its like having another coach out there because number one, hes been in the league, hes seen everybody, he has great recall and he knows the game situations." When Bautista shifts to centerfield, which has happened in four games so far this season, Leiper jokes that his work day ends. Bautista takes charge and knows where he wants himself and his corner outfielders to be on each pitch. "From day one in spring training every fungo, every drill, 100-percent fundamentally correct every single time," said Leiper. "You watch him in the game, hes into every pitch, he doesnt take pitches off. Theres a reason why hes good at everything he does. Hes intelligent and hes into it. Hes as professional a guy as Ive ever been around." ' ' '
