France v England (Group D) - Match Thread

[whoareyaaa]

I was with you until it turned out that we have Wallcott, Young, Welbeck and Ox in the starting 11. Win or lose, this is the sort or youthful look I want to see.

Come on England!!!

Wallcots on the bench but yeah can see him coming on for milner later in the game

Ray Clemence the goalkeeping coach gets carried off injured during the pre-match warm-up.... omen?

Slightly worrying because he's the second best keeper we've got.

[Kitchandro]

Did I just see an England flag with a City badge on it?

Nice to see an England manager singing the National Anthem

[Vacamion]

Please please please please please

Not another tournament when the wife, the workmates and the neighbours laugh as my nation fails at football.

(Neighboour's kids wearing Scotland tops today, but not on any other day of the tournament - strange that...)

GOOOOOOOOOOO-ON INGERLAND !!!!!!

England's most decisive victory against the French was on 25th October, St Crispen's Day.

A repeat this afternoon will do nicely.......

[Vacamion]

By the way, native French speakers will struggle to say "Oxlade-Chamberlain" so I hop he scores 3...

[Daggers]

"Agincourt, Waterloo and now Donetsk..."

Unbelievable.

[MrFox781]

2-2

"Agincourt, Waterloo and now Donetsk..."

Unbelievable.

We can but hope.......

[Kitchandro]

Since when do France wear all dark blue?

[Leicester_Loyal]

Did I just hear right that there is only 4,000 England fans at the stadium? thats piss poor

We've got 3000 lads on bans. Also, a lot less people seem to be bothered about this tournament than others.

[Soar Fox]

How many times does Glen Johnson get caught out of position.

[Vacamion]

Has the commentator said "Oxlade Chamberlain" since minute 2?

Need to get him in the game...

[lcfcsnow]

We must be the worst team technically in the competition.

[Vacamion]

Tough luck Jimmy - great move...

[Mark_w]

Oh dear.

[Kitchandro]

Milner should have scored there, lost his composure and rushed it.

[Kitchandro]

Johnson is awful. Utter joke of a footballer

[Vacamion]

Johnson is awful. Utter joke of a footballer

There were times in the last World Cup when I actually thought he was high on cannabis or something...

[ozleicester]

Fair start... not unhappy
