[igm1 10]

England 1-2 France

 

Your thoughts please

 

I don't personally believe it

Too many expletives to post on here... wouldn't want to get banned.

 

*walks away mumbling something about shooting the f****** England squad*

I was convinced it would be France 3 england 1.

 

Just cos they got VAVAVOOM

I`d believe it, Beckhams penalty was saved and they led up to 90 minutes and then lost it. No surprise to me glad i watched the other side.

I knew that Beckham would miss, he should have let someone else take it the greedy git

I wondered whether Beckham's 'style' would be known to Barthes.

 

The general feeling here at The Towers was that Heskey gave away the first one and then the knock in confidence allowed the second one.

 

Perhaps the question should be 'Heskey: Why??'

 

There was a US Civil War General who was famed for 'seizing defeat from the jaws of victory'. Well, England were like that tonight.

 

It's just so depressing.

Have just put the kids to bed who are still muttering and singing rude songs about Zidane and Henry!

 

Shame they have a french lesson first thing in the morning!

 

As Beckham said - they had a great 89 minutes!

Can't say i'm really that suprised, great in the first half but in the second half they were just letting france run the game. The only suprising thing was that it took the french so long to score.

gutted, what a nightmare,

[JoeP 11]

With regard to the 'we had a good 89 minutes' comment, it needs to go down in history with those other great observations of current events :

 

"It was OK until the sceond bullet hit" - Mrs Kennedy, 1963.

 

"All we need to do is throw the Russians, the Americans and the British out of Germany and we can win this war!" - Adolf Hitler, March 1945.

I still can't believe what happened. Beckham isn't a natural penalty taker anyway IMO, Heskey shouldn't even be in the squad, let alone on the pitch to throw his big donkey self around the edge of the penalty area, and as for Gerrard..... WTF was that?! We threw it away needlessly.

It's certainly shut a lot of gobby 'pseudo- patriots' up.

 

Now maybe England will admit it. "We're c*** at football (soccer), and we always will be."
