T-Minus 6 hours and counting

Croatia 0 - 0 Switzerland

Well, the other two teams in our group are poor. England and France have nothing to worry about, apart from each other. Really bad showing from these two, and a draw suits England right down to the ground.

Right, now the big one...

[iMc]

Yeh Croatia v Switzerland was a complete bore. It managed to make football look bad.

Bring on the French......

[iMc]

Well 1-0 at half-time things are looking good. Been a few occasions when I thought we have given Zidane and Viera too much space but they havent utilised it. As long as we keep it tight and keep feed int the balls to Rooney and Owen im confident we can keep and add to the lead.

COME ON!

christ, did anyone see how far david james threw the ball at around 42 minutes : o, I doubt I could walk that far in one go.

Encouraging half, the england fans get behind just about every positive event, like a good tackle where as the french have been background noise.

[iMc]

Yeh we had a good break on then, shame Ashley Cole got surrounded quickly.

I must Ledley King has proved all doubters wrong so far. He has been a rock in defense. He's gonna have really mess up to prove his doubters right! From an Arsenal fan to a Tottenham player...

well done.

Did you see Barthez get hit on the nose!!!!

[Stewart]

I'm sick, I'm angry. Someone else do the report, I don't want to swear and get banned \ de-modded.

[Raz316]

ouch.

[Iain]

yes !!! France finally found the va va voom. Can't believe England through that away. Idiots

[Stoo]

That was monumentally *dumb*

[streetster]

... the freekick was stupidly given away, then was the passback which created the penalty.. useless! why didnt beckham score?! useless english

[Nick]

Ok, someone PLEASE explain to me what that lumbering berk Heskey is doing in the squad?

In the world cup all he seemed to do was fall over everytime he got the ball and now he comes right back to the box, makes a stupid tackle from behind and concedes a free kick which France score from!

Then England gets flustered, we give away a penalty and lose the match in the space of 2 minutes... all cos of Heskey and his two left feet... the guy's a liability and shouldn't be on the pitch!

He didn't need to come back to the box, we had solidly defended for nearly the entire of the second half, yet alog he rumbles, swipes around with his leg, from behind, leaving the Ref with no doubt he was fouling and we lost the match from that point.

Pillock.

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

[Raz316]

can we please pray, together, that good o' english thuggary doesn't emerge on the streets of portugal tonight, seriously! :/ I hope they smoked plenty of pot today I really do.

[menthel]

Well, nevermind. We will just beat them in the final!!!
Why on earth did he take rooney off? He is a fantastic footy player and stoopid enough to keep on running for you until he drops. However the other two teams look fairly lacklustre. Have hope! Its all I had for many years as a Wimbledon supporter. Until they went to milton keynes. Traitors.
...and relax...
