    France v England

    Mark Lawrenson is still doing that hilarious "not" thing. When Cisse was jeered coming on for France, he said "they love him, not" with barely any pause for the supposed gag to take affect.

    This new ball is very pleasing, mind.

      France v England

      GK James, D. - Didn't have a lot to do, what he did he did ok. The two big things he had to do (get to the ball ahead of Anelka & save the penalty) he did very poorly.

      RB Brown, W. - Had a reasonable game, hasn't got much going forward other than overlaps, not good enough to take England forward.

      CB Ferdinand, R. (c) - Had a very good game, could have perhaps tried to bring the ball out of defence a bit more.

      CB Terry, J. - Looked below par (par being last year/yr before. Screwed up massively for Anelka breaking through to be awarded penalty.

      LB Cole, A. - Had a poor poor game in my eyes, never looked like he wanted to get behind the French defence even tho he managed to get quite high up the pitch. Didn't look too hot defensively. Played the ball backwards way too often (almost his first option).

      DM Hargreaves, O. - Did his job, showed his experience beyond domestic club level.

      DM Barry, G. - Out of his league, looked way too negative in possession. Could have learnt alot from watching Makelele. Another player too scared to play forward.

      RM Beckham, D. - A long way past his prime, but still effective. Appeared to run harder (probably to show his fitness) than any other player. Worth his place.

      AM Gerrard, S. - Didn't look interested, wasted a few chances.

      LM Cole, J. - Worst England player on the pitch. Did he complete a pass. Useless.

      CF Rooney, W. - Tried, then tried to hard and disrupted England's structure. Not really suited to playing so high up the pitch.

        Subs

        Owen, M. - CF - poor club form continued.
        Crouch, P. - CF - Form of overachieving player who can't get a game for his club continued.
        Downing, S. - LW - tried but ultimately failed. Looked most inclined to go forward, had very poor ability to deliver what he suggested.
        Lescott, J. - Looked ok.
        Bentley, D. - utter shit. Negative, lack of ability, poor attitude.
        Johnson, G. - Picked for looking like a mini-David "Calamity" James, surely.
