England vs. France

[sasguru]

Oh dear, wrong again

Not too far off, though, eh?
The manager and lads did very well considering they are a work in progress.
Let's see if they can grow into the tournament.

And here's one for the fact book:

No country has ever won the Eurovision Song Contest and the European Championships in the same year so put a line through Sweden.

I have a couple of quid on Shevchenko for top scorer. I reckon with the home advantage and this probably being his last major tournament he could go out with a flourish, and Ukraine could make it to the quarters or even semis I reckon.

About -2 points off, that's FAR off - almost guaranteed 1/4 finals vs early exit.

HTH

If you had posted that earlier than you did, it would have more credibility.
I predict the opposite - Shevchenko has shot his load and will henceforth be sidelined.

Stick to er ....er....er... sorry, I'm struggling to think of something you know anything about.

Stick to being a cretin. you cretin.



That'll be £10 consultancy please SG

I thought England were pretty poor, without Rooney there is a chance they might choke on Friday.

Other than that Andy Townsend is a complete dribbling cretin. "Ribery claims it was an elbow but it was cleary just an arm across the face" or the "I think Ribery is just tired" as he lay on the ground after getting taken out from behind and his calf stood on. Good few more WTF moments.

Biased bollox...

Like a race horse a team can only peak once.


Bring me my bow of burning gold!
Bring me my arrows of desire!
Bring me my spear! O clouds, unfold!
Bring me my chariot of fire!
I will not cease from mental fight,
Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand,
Till we have built Jerusalem
In England's green and pleasant land.

Decent enough for a first game against a half-decent team... Nasri, Malouda, etc are darn good.

Not great, but not boring long-ball crud either.
