I want England to win too, not soo much because I would like them, but because I dislike France.

I would like them to win, cause I like England NT, they are one of my favs on EURO, but apart from that: I dislike France too, and I wouldnt mind them losing with everyone.

Can't wait for today. I didn't see any of yesterday's games because I was out all day, but I'm going out for lunch today at a sports bar and restaurant to watch France-England

 

[Stu]

I hope France win, mainly because of all the hype Becks and co get from the media after doing something special. I'm hoping for a high-scoring, entertaining, passionate 3-2 win for France (I'm thinking about fantasy purposes here )

 

[Zlatan]

Yeah, I want Pires to score 3 and Gerrard 2

 

[Stu]

Nah. Two for Henry, an assist and a goal for Zidane, and then the two for Gerrard

 

[Zlatan]

Damn, I forgot about Henry. Hmmm, 3 for Henry (he's my captain), and 3 assists for Pires, and two goals for Gerrard :thumb:

It's weird if you like England, but if you think that they are heavily overrated like I do, you wouldn't be able to stand waking up in the morning to see on the front page of the news paper and on all of the sporting websites 'Becks leads England to emphatic victory' etc, etc.

Keep it real, Stu

 

[gray]

I'm with Stu

I just saw the highlights from yesterday's games and Karagounis' strike was a very good one. For Spain, Vicente seemed inspired and Valeron's goal was cooly taken.

PS. Check Fernando Torres' hair

I may know what you mean now: we have too much hype about French over here, it makes me sick already.

Engalnd have 2 world class players IMO, Beckham and Owen. Owen on top form is up there with the best strikers. Englands main strength is the team spirit and fighting to win the ball. They will unsettle France if they get at them but as always they wont be able to keep the fast tempo that they play in the 2nd half and should leak goals. They are very weak at holding on to a lead and will never win anything if they cant be cool at the back.

I got one thing to say about the ball. Its shit for class touch players likemyself and Zizou Flippin' beach ball. England might play good with it though.
