England can make it to the semi-finals of Euro 2016 if they gain the right momentum, says former caretaker manager Peter Taylor. Roy Hodgsons men narrowly beat Portugal in a fairly drab affair at Wembley, with Chris Smallings header sealing the 1-0 win as the visitors played just under an hour with ten men after Bruno Alves red card. But Taylor remained upbeat about Englands chances in the upcoming tournament in France, where they play Russia on June 11 in Group B. I think were a good team. Its all about that first match. If we can win our first match and build momentum we can go from there, Taylor said after commentating on the game for Sky Sports News HQ. Chris Smalling scored the only goal as England beat Portugal 1-0 at Wembley I think we can go a long, long way - and Im talking about the semi-finals. And once you get to the semi-finals anything can happen because youre a confident bunch.The nice thing about England is theyve got a good habit of winning matches. They havent played great tonight but theyve won a match again, from a good goal, and there was still some good things. And it doesnt look like there were any injuries - so thats another positive.Hodgson has experimented with formations in the warm-up games, and played the majority of the Wembley match-up with a diamond formation before switching to a 4-3-3 late on. Dele Alli can play anywhere in Englands diamond formation, says Taylor Despite a lacklusture performance, Taylor thought the formation worked on the night and has identified the players he believes are certain to start in France.I thought the formation was good. It was a diamond shape but the difference is [Eric] Dier goes in between the centre-backs, the full-backs push on and its a 3-5-2, which gives us two targets for the strikers and gives us great width, which helps. Dele Alli can play anywhere, top of the diamond, to the left, to the right, even alongside Dier as he did at the start of the season with Tottenham. Allis a cert, [Harry] Kanes a cert, [Wayne] Rooneys a cert - Im not sure [Jamie] Vardy is a cert at the moment. Taylor believes England captain Wayne Rooney is a certainty to start at Euro 2016 The things that are going to make Roy really think are Wilshere looked nice and fit when he came on, started beating people again. We have another nine days and I think he may try to get Wilshere into the team. Maybe Henderson for Milner if he doesnt go the Wilshere route. It wouldnt surprise me if that was Hodgsons back four. A lot of our defending started from the front and I think that affected our performance - Kane works hard getting back, Vardy works hard, we then get the ball and have no targets. It still makes us solid and they didnt test us much. Also See: England edge final friendly As it happened John Riggins Jersey . William Carrier opened the scoring for Cape Breton (6-4-2), but Andrew Ryan tied the game and Brent Andrews put the Mooseheads (8-6-0) in front for good with a short-handed goal at 13:49 of the second period.

Varlamov made 33 saves and Ryan OReilly had a goal and scored in the shootout as the Avalanche beat the New Jersey Devils 2-1 on Thursday night. About a thousand times between now and the Final Four, the question will come: Joe, whats the best conference in the country? The problem, of course, isnt the question. The problem is the absence of a universal definition of best.For me, the answer is more about quality than quantity. The 2011 Big East, for instance, sent a record 11 teams to the NCAA tournament.
