Villa should have put away that pen & Torres should not have had he's ears lowered.

Cmon South Africa knock the cheese eating surrender monkeys out

Sacré bleu

Looks like France have gone on strike just like they said

It's like watching 22 big headed school bullies kicking a ball around and the ref is the kid they used to bully. Now he has 90 minutes of power, a whistle and a pocket containing some coloured cards (which will eventually be stolen off him just like his dinner money was every day).
The players get 100 grand a week and the ref gets his bus fare home. Refs are kids that were cr@p at football and had their pants thrown in the bog at the end of games lessons. What do you then expect from these people? Qualifications for the position of football ref include:

Pale, knobbly legs (or short, hairy ones),
Zero peripheral vision,
Poor vision in general,
Selective deafness - particularly to the most common swear words,
Hitler complex,
Memory span of a goldfish (if a player does a Klinsmann every tackle why do refs never take this into account when judgeing off the ball "incidents" involving the player),
No anotomical knowledge whatsoever (the "face" does not begin at a players upper thigh),
Compulsion to make snap decisions based on the noise the crowd makes or the mouth frothing reaction of a team coach,
Innability to keep any dinner money away from bullies.
Love of the game.

I know France were going to be Dark Horses at best, but I'd have at least expected them to be able to get out of the stable

Comfortable 2-0 win for England today I reckon.

Heart says 3 - 0, head says 1 - 0

Glad that Heskey been dropped, Defoe and Milner starting (according to reports).

Take a point away from home!

Fantastic, we already know that Rooney and Defoe are largely ineffective when they play together (or at least have been in the past)

And we all know what the formation should be.

Whilst Rooney & Heskey have been ripping it up so far

The last time Defoe and Rooney played up front together.....3rd March against Egypt. Defoe was brought off at half time when we were 1-0 down.

Just saying like.

I think what they need is finihsers out there tonight. Defoe is a finisher, and Heskey is not. It will also allow Rooney to drop a bit deeper, in more like his role for Man U.

the game for me is won and lost in midfield. We've looked lightweight and poor so far. lets hope we improve

1990 England scraped through the group and went on to the semis. There's a record number of knackered knees in this country after the last two games.

today id go:

--------- James --------
Johnson Upson Terry Cole
---- Barry, Lampard ----
Milner ---------- Gerrard
-----Defoe --------------
------------ Rooney -----

Can see a nice 3 1 win today
