England V The Frogs - Match Thread

[dune]

I reckon we can turn the form book on it's head here. Had a tenner on 1-0 @ 7/1 and 2/1 @ 14/1

 

C'mon England.

[S-Clarke]

I'm more confident now I've seen the team, nice to see a bit of real pace through the heart of that team with Welbeck, Chambo and Young - although I'm not a huge fan of Welbeck.

 

I think most peoples optimism grew the moment they saw Downing was a sub..!!!

[BlakeySFC]

I've got a massive £1 on England to win

 

Not confident though, think the French'll win 3-1

[Saint_clark]

Not sure why everyone is so afraid of France, their attacking players went missing in 2010 worse than any of our squad. Reckon we'll win 2-0. Welbeck and Gerrard.

[SO16_Saint]

what's the team, and is there a link for a stream pls?

So you discount the period between 2010 and now?

 

I think we can do it, but France clearly should be too good for us.

It's on ITV.

Remember that game at Wembley a year or so ago? they took us apart for 90mins, the gulf was embarrasing.

[SO16_Saint]

It's on ITV.

 

yeah, sorry - shouldve said - im in Italy and just tried ITV player, and no joy as am outside the UK

No, but everyone talks about England choking at major tournaments "discounting" how good we usually are in qualifying. What's the difference there then?

The team that day;

 

Foster, Jagielka, Gibbs (Warnock), Ferdinand (Richards), Lescott, Gerrard (Crouch), Walcott (Johnson), Henderson, Barry (Young), Milner, Carroll (Bothroyd).

[Winchester Red]

It'll be on an italian terrestrial station.

 

You'll just have to put up with funny commentary

[SO16_Saint]

was hoping to watch and hear the disappointment in English, but I'll accept the over excited Italian comms....

[dune]

FFS, Gerrard just been on saying he'd take a draw. He's no captain.

[Turkish]

If we cant beat a country where all the men ride around on bikes whilst muching on garlic, wearing berets with onions round their necks we have no chance.

PRE MATCH INJURY!

 

Ray Clemence has snapped his achilles tendon in the warm up.

[Verbal]

This has 0-4 written all over it.

I've strained mine in the past and I can confirm it's ****ing awful.

[SO16_Saint]

the OC has started well by the looks of BBC text?

[Dr Who?]

Started ok, but the French are looking good now. Settling well.

You can watch it here.

awesome, thx

[Dr Who?]

I smell a goal coming.

[Dr Who?]

Pitch is cutting up a bit.

[Dr Who?]

Should have scored.

[dune]

FFS, should have scored.

[Colinjb]

As soon as the commentator said 'it's Milner....' you knew the French were safe.

Ha ha ha, me as well.

[Dr Who?]

It is nice to watch England in a tournament and not have any expectations at all.

[Colinjb]

It is nice to watch England in a tournament and not have any expectations at all.

 

It's also nice to know that at this stage we are already surpassing the Paddies.

[angelman]

[dune]

Yesssssssssssssss,

[Colinjb]

[h=6]Holy f**k we're winning!!! [/h]

[Verbal]

[Saintjersey]

What a save from Hart.

[dune]

Good save from hart.

[dune]

Damn, oh well it needed to happen if i'm gonna collect 150 notes for 2-1.

[Colinjb]

Bugger, great strike from Nasri.

[Saint_clark]

Welbeck has been very good so far.

[K,Billy's supersound]

wow just how **** is milner? and are welbeck and young actually going to move and do something? should be losing.

[Hatch]

thats why Nasri starts for City instead of Milner.

[Saint_clark]

wow just how **** is milner? and are welbeck and young actually going to move and do something? should be losing.

 

Seriously? Milner I can understand, and Young possibly...but Welbecks movement has been brilliant.

The match overall has been pretty even I reckon.

[S-Clarke]

Milner just has to be the most predictable winger I have ever seen. When full backs see him on the oppo side, they know they can have an easy afternoon.

 

I personally think he'll turn into a CM in time, but he's just too predictable that it's painful at times.

[saint si]

Solid and organised for half an hour.

 

Got a bit deep and a bit sloppy towards the end, allowing the French back into it.

 

Oxo sgowing some great flashes but disappearing at times. Unlucky to get booked when Cabaye has made two very cynical fouls.

Seems like the media are already blaming the 'heat' for us dropping back. Errr, don't the french have to deal with it too??

[ericofarabia]

Why did RH bother picking The Ox if all the play goes down the right hand side to those two piles of dog crap Johnson and Milner FFS.

[Crazy Diamond]

Let's face it, for us to win anything, we have to block out the sun, it's that much of a problem apparently.

[K,Billy's supersound]

get milner off asap

[Robsk II]

This ref is a ****ing ****, how many obvious fouls has he denied England now? I make it 3.
