Euro 2012 - Match discussion thread

Yes!! Allez les blues. :clap:

This game is all about Man City so far.

English keepers and major international tournaments donā€™t go well together.

England brought that on themselves. Defended far too deep after the goal.

Great finish. Not sure about Gerrardā€™s attempted block though. Lots of empty seats isnā€™t there.

Cabaye has a real nasty streak to him, its an admirable quality.

Hart has been quite shaky here. Iā€™m blaming the kit.

England look rattled since the goal.

Big Andy will bring some English grit and save the day.

Turned his arse on the shot ala JOS against Israel a few years back. Gerrard has been a lot better than I expected but he does the most brainless things at times.

Iā€™ve been reasonably impressed by England thus far. They arent the rabble they were at the last World Cup. Lacking quality in midfield but organised and competent at the same time. Seem to have got giddy after scoring and retreated to the 18 yard box.

Young has been very dangerous, horrible effort from Milner after he played him in.

France have better individual players but Iā€™m struggling to understand what they are trying to do going forward. Need Ribery and Benzema to start playing a little closer together for a start

Thought England played pretty well for the first quarter and they actually scored as France were getting to grips with them. France dominated the last 15 minutes though - maybe a combination of the way the game was developing and England dropping too deep after scoring. Debuchy has been very impressive for France at right back.

Christ thereā€™d be a better atmosphere at a wake.

England brass band werenā€™t allowed to bring instruments in for security reasons apparently.

Milner is playing very poor. Canā€™t understand how he started before Theo. Heā€™s average enough.

Big time. Lovely player.

France should bring Menez in for Malouda.

Brass band or no brass band the atmosphere is absolutely shocking.

Rami is a big weak link for the French, luckily for them Mexes has had a brilliant game.

Parker is bolloxed out there. Hook

The Italian referee has had a wonderful game. :clap:

Has been pretty dull for the last ten minutes.
