Be Like England! But Twitter erupted. There was no calm on the mico-blogging site after the Three Lions let the Russians sneak in a stoppage time equaliser.
And what seemed like a masterstroke to keep Jamie Vardy on the bench to pile on late pressure turned into nightmare. When manager Roy Hodgson brought on James Milner.
Incredibly, England have never won the opening game of a European Championships.

And predictably, Hodgson felt the scathing backlash on Twitter. Starting with us!

Why is Kane taking corners? Why is Lallana starting? How is Sterling a footballer? Why 70 mins to make a sub? How is Hodgson a manager?

Hodgson making a mess of the talent at his disposal. Why take off Rooney? Why not bring on Vardy? Victory thrown away. Self inflicted

Worst Russian team I’ve seen in long time. How Vardy or Sturridge didn’t get mins shocking. Too conservative is Hodgson when it matters. ?.

Hodgson’s cost us that game.Bad subs, undermined confidence,tried to”see game out” no belief in squad.Vardy/Sturridge run riot late on #ENG

Can someone please explain why Roy Hodgson is England’s manager? Dude looks like melted candle wax – and is about as tactically adept.

Hodgson clueless. Brought best player on the park off in Rooney and failed to bring pace of Vardy on to stretch Russian defence. #ENG

God Save The Queen! And Hodgson from the sack.
