MATCH THREAD: France Vs. England - Euro 2012 Group D - 5PM KO

[Woolly Blue]

Not too bad that. If France had scored first we'd have been happy with 1-1

 

[Dom1878]

We fell apart after that Nasri goal

 

[Rook]

Wouldn't have happened if Gibson was playing...

If McFadden was playing, the goal wouldn't have mattered because Ingerland would have been up 4-1 at the half.

Men against boys this now. France have had England pinned back by moving the ball nice and quick...and England are simply coughing the ball up to them for wave after wave of it.

French RB is tormenting Cole.

 

[Dom1878]

Anyway, one more goal from England and im £400 up

The atmosphere for this game is dire. Where are the locals to fill the empty seats. It's like a preseason friendly.

I can see France adding 3 or 4 in the second half.

Should have been two, could have been more before that equaliser. I'm encouraged with how they played for the first half an hour. Edged the first half and if we get a point we should qualify with ease based on who we've got to play. I want a win though, there's goals in this for England.

nice ! good luck with that chum

 

[kenada_blue]

Bit of a soft goal but they've been reduced to long rangers. I don't think they'll get round the back of us...but its just a matter of keeping the ball and making the breaks count.

It's been easy to get behind them, way too easy.

 

[Baines' left foot]

How the [Poor language removed] does Adrian Chiles have a job?

 

[Alio]

Great finish by the French, half the England team got sold a dummy on that reverse pass back to Nasri

 

[Deloodid]

we scored, we dropped back and let them play.

Everton away tactic.

[ToffeeDaz]

Cabaye should be on a yellow like.

 

[Bigmaclad]

England have been struggling since that goal, France will score again.
