Good Luck England

[Highlander]

I have severe reservations about England's ability to make a winning (or even drawing) start but the very best of luck for tonight

[martinp2502]

France unbeaten for 21 games and it will probably be 22 after tonight. It would be great if we could win but I don't think it will happen.

It went exactly as I told my neighbour yesterday - I said we would draw 1 - 1 or nick it by one goal - and we would be very organised and hard to beat.

However - I didn't expect us to be playing the French and the Italians (officials) in the same game.

Pointers for next game Roy:

Leave young Oxlade Chamberlain out - he didn't do enough for the team - play Defoe from the start.
If possible take out Johnson - looks good going forward but wastes too many balls and doesn't get back quickly enough after another of his fruitless runs.

Do that Roy and I can see the semi's looming on the horizon - all in all 7 out of 10 and lets not forget - against a very good team.

Get rid of Milner and replace him with someone who can cross the ball to within 10 metres of a team mate

Workhorse - not pretty - every team needs a few and occasionally he delivers   

[Scunner]

He couldn't deliver newspapers - just like Downing, gets the opportunity to put in a testing cross and fires it into the crowd - either behind the goal or on the far side of the pitch

Just watching Ukraine playing like men possessed this could be harder than I thought

Tinx - have you seen the Schevchenko chappie tonight - I think Chelsea should sign him   

[Highlander]

Just watching Ukraine playing like men possessed this could be harder than I thought 

they are ranked only 11 places below Scotland so will give anyone a run for their money  .
