***Unofficial: England vs France***

[zego]

On BBC2 ...

First 20mins - going OK so far (except for tedious commentary - par for the course, these days).

Neat, competitive football from both sides.

 

[Smithy]

Thanks, didn't realise this was on.

Great save!

Some of those French girls aren't bad looking, and I never thought I'd say that!

I was thinking the same myself

I see Lepalleur just got a hard one in the buttocks.

I'd rather watch the mens to be honest lol

France the better side at the moment

 

[Albion Robster]

Dire stuff! England have only looked threatening at corners.

Ooooo errrr ... watch out for the hairy Latino armpits!

 

[Meade's Ball]

It's very much like men's football for England when against a decent enough side. Hoofing it panic-strickenly and having no faith in whatever ability they have.

Apart from 'shots not on goal', stats show not doing too badly.

France are getting more chances in our area, but England don't seem over-awed, and work the ball out of defense confidently.

If France get frustrated by the English calm and control, then our chances might improve later (a bit like Poyet/Albion vs Watford in the Cup last season!).

[Albumen]

How bad are female keepers?

 

[Peever]

Good goal, though it was so slow even I could have saved it

1-0 England Scott

Sign her up!

And now France really rattled - diving outrageously!

And Captain subbed!
