***** Official England v France Thread *****

[Acker79]

I can see france winning this.

 

[Worthingite]

I have to say, this is a poor looking French team. Poor looking England I grant you, but we should be doing a lot better against this lot

 

[Woodchip]

I can see france winning this.

With the add of the world's worst ref

 

[jimhigham]

Great little switch of flank and ball down the line from Cole ...all topped off with an utter lemon of a cross from Young. He has not looked up to it at all today. If he isn't for diving in the area then what is he for?

 

[Surf's Up]

the french are a bunch of tricheurs

 

[upthealbion1970]

No point bringing Carroll on as we don't appear to be able to put a decent cross into the box

 

[Max Paper]

This referee is incredible

 

[jimhigham]

This referee is incredible

Let's get in early with the conspiracy theory. Platini hates England and has issued a directive that refs are to ensure we don't make the knockout phase...

 

[Albumen]

Benzema is bloody awful.

Wouldn't surprise me.

 

[Marxo]

We're creeping closer and closer to our own goal line.

 

[Albumen]

No players ever in the box for France. Did they think they could just walk through an England defence?

 

[Albumen]

I bet Rooney is tearing his hair out on the bench. Oh.

 

[CorgiRegisteredFriend]

Better looking french fans this time

 

[Hugo Rune]

I'll take the draw!

 

[del strangefish]

Hope we don't get this ref again!
Platini (UEFA) Payroll.

 

[CorgiRegisteredFriend]

Settle for that. Good start.

 

[Marxo]

That wasn't bad at all, I'm pretty happy with that.

 

[Worthingite]

That'll do.

 

[jimhigham]

Well, it's a point more than I thought we'd get and we do look like we are going to be a bit harder to beat than in the past but the lack of threat is a worry. If we're going to progress it looks like we may have to do it the Chelsea way.
