The Ireland match was an oddity.
The better team by far won, but with the aid of a couple of freakish goals and a peculiar, muted turn from the Irish. They looked banjaxed in fairness. Reminded me of the 2007 Rugby World Cup, and that would be a huge worry.
Nevermind, it’s only Spain next.. Argh!!Encouraging on the other hand from England. A decent graft against a technically superior team and a result that was just about right. What’s it with deep defending in this tournament though? Is Chelsea a la Nou Camp to be the way forward (ha) now?
Anyway, well done England. A very stable start to proceedings.As for Ireland? Well, we require a miracle or two.
Who knows?I’d say a big well done to the French for getting themselves a point. England should’ve won with the chances we had, but there’s always the next match to look forward to.
:shock:
We must have been watching a different match mate. I think England did enough to get the draw. Dogged and determined (especially Thunderbird Parker), but France certainly had more of it as a contest in my opinion.
Both teams should progress. I’d be just a little wary of Ukraine though.
I like the solidity and purpose Hodgson has installed.. They are playing with a plan now. First time in a long time I’ve seen that.I thought England were lucky not to lose. Welbeck deflected a shot that was destined to make it 2.1 France.
Then there’s Milner’s poor finishing and sloppy back pass. I thought we looked better when Defoe came on.
And why won’t our players shoot from distance?
Maybe in two years time under Hodgson we’ll be a real force at the World Cup.
Come on Holland – daze the Germans and sauce some goals. :D

Doesn’t look like it’s going to happen – posted at half-time! :lol:
Yep, the Dutch need something quick.
Germans are so clinical though aren’t they? Great stuff.You’ll get 12/1 on us beating Spain tomorrow Lucy!
In truth there’s about as much chance of that happening as punda lasting a thread without any ridiculous wordplay!!! :POn who I want to win: :-#
On punning: I’ll try
Well the Germans are two goals up thus far, so they’ve done the double on the dutch.
