Helllo? Were we looking at the same match? France soo deserved to win this one. England showed nothing, hell they didnt even get the ball.

Yeah remind me of a clear cut chance France got or say produced apart from that goal. In second hald, England had to defend as France were supposed to attack. Yes England defended too much but still the result shuld have been a draw.

But well played France, a deserved win. Still can’t believe it.

Oh well, Im off to watch fantasy football league, been a while since I seen my middle class jewish lover, David Badiel (he’ll make today’s loss easier to bare :love: )

See you all at the next Ingerland game :wave:

England had deserved the win but luck was not on their side today. I think this is a good side and can reach the semi-finals at least.

First goal of the game, coming 6 mins before the end of the 1st half…Englands Lampard scoring on a cross from Beckham…

Penalty taken by Beckham, and saved by France’s goalie Barthez, 73 minutes into the game…the winning point really for France, otherwise it would’ve been Englands win or a tie at best even if France had scored both the goals in stoppage time :k:

France’s tying goal in 90 + 1 mins on a free-kick taken by Zidane

France’s winning goal on a penalty taken by Zidane once again in 90 + 3 mins of play

Yeah man me tooo, I wouldn’t even be in this thread if England had won :smiley:

Fraudz, hahahahahaha. At least save all that for after Tuesday. You might want to take all of it back by then ;)

I still am confident that Holland will do better than England!

I watched the semi-final of 88 between Holland and Germany few weeks ago, it was a classic match. This time Holland has an edge over Germany and can beat them again.

Fraudz:

I've a strong belief that England will reach the semi-final at least, this is a good side. What do you say?

If they play like they did in teh first half of this match, indeed, if they play like they did in the second half, unikely, and if they play like theyplayed in the last 3-5 minutes..impossible.

how much do you want to bet that Rooney will mess up and get sent off in this tourney like Becks did when he got sent off due to his idiotic kick. the kid has too much of a temper, acting like a lout in major matches is a huge liability

I am still unsure about picking Heskey, I mean Fowler would be a better choice..I mean if Heskey cant score goals, the least he could do is make stupid fouls which allow other teams to score.

No comment. Perfect example of how to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. How pathetic. I don't think France deserved to win, but England should have finished it with that missed penalty. Oh Well there is always a next time. Shinoo wait till Holland plays. :(

It was so funny... I was sitting in a room with a bunch of Pakistani and Bangladeshi England supporters, having declared my own support for France before the match started.

I was being lambasted for the first 90 minutes of the match, and then, in the last 3 minutes everything flipped over like I've never seen before. I was up in the air screaming "Viiiiiiiiiiiiiive la France!!!!!!!" in a room that was otherwise practically deafended by the sound of shocked silence :D

What a game.

Like everyone else, their all speachless.

France kept pressuring throughout the game, and they did deserve to win it. Why? Because they contained England in their half for majority of the game. England was eventually going to do the mistake.

You may argue the fact that possession was almost equal, but England's possession was only defending and lofting the ball away. France made a lot of opportunities but England defended well. (Especially the new lad King).

And can someone please smack that little brat Wayne Rooney in the face? Jez.. he sure did piss me off. Did he not get his bottle today?

I may be a little rusty in my french, but let me give it a shot.

Zidane est le roi du football et le capitaine livré quand le temps était exact. Il l'a fait juste pour fermer les ventilateurs anglais. La France pour gagner l'Euro 2004.

England lost today!!!! WHOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
