In Euro 2016 Qualifying matches, 19 teams have made it through to the Final Teams who are playing in Euro 2016.
England laboured to a 1-0 win in their final warm-up friendly before the tournament despite playing against 10 men for over 50 minutes.Coach Roy Hodgson played Kane, Jamie Vardy and captain Wayne Rooney from the start for the first time, but the trio struggled to combine throughout.
Rooney was at the top of a diamond midfield in a system which struggled to create chances and the display enhanced fears from supporters that another disappointing summer lies in store.But Kane told Standard Sport: "Don't judge us on the Portugal game, the key is performing against Russia next week.
We are still working on stuff. That's what these three games were for - to prepare for the tournament, tactics, set pieces or anything. We are learning to see what works and what doesn't and try to use things in the tournament."It's been one game where myself, Jamie and Wayne have played together, the understanding isn't just going to happen overnight.
Of course we would have wanted a few more chances and few more shots at goal. But it's something we are still working on so there is no reason for anyone to get too downhearted. It was a positive performance and a positive result."

Hodgson looks certain to play all three forwards in the Championships, although could opt to play them in a 4-3-3 instead.
Due partly to Rooney's later arrival in the camp following Manchester United's FA Cup triumph as well as Hodgson's team selection, the trio only got to play together in the final friendly.But Kane is remaining upbeat about it working in France and added: "It's always difficult because when you come away with England you don't have a lot of time to prepare like you do for your club. But with England you have to cope with that.
