And the only scoring chances England had was after French mistakes, jeez we could do this all day.

Not Rooney's penalty.

Well, I'm too biased to discuss this matter.

Rooney's penalty was not a result of Thuram's mistake? I'm confused.. was is aliens from outer space who made it happen then?

Oh well that changes everything

Seriously though, Thuram was in possession when he messed up and Rooney got the ball. It was down to Thuram's oversight that the whole episode took place. Silvestre came into it very late and could do nothing else.

Watching the replay of the penalty incident, you will see Henry suddenly comes up from nowhere just 1 sec after Silvestre's slide tackle. How fast is Henry !!! Henry still upfront when Rooney got the ball from Thuram on the half line ! How on Earth did he nearly catch Rooney, I thought that was mad.

5 games is still waaaay too early to judge.

And plus, france england was a thriller, greece portugal was cool, switzerland crotia and spain russia given, were dull, and italy denmark was ok.

I think things will start to get interesting from tomorrow on...

Im really looking forward to seeing the czech play, and Holland - Germany

hopefully germany and holland will live up to their names

 

[Dan]

My tip people:

What the bookies dont relise is how tightly contested these teams are. They are both on a run of bad form. Yet holland has much better odds. Go for germany as a tip, underdogs who will have great odds against their realistic chance of winning.

Your love for the defensive game.

Was I right?

No your not right!, Italy plays smart and defensive with style when they find it usefull and necesarry for the result. Norway plays anti-football and destructive, actually they dont play football at all, because they dont know what it is.

 

[Martin]

Exactly, and England played just like Norway used to play.
