gawd, now i have the upmost respect for English footy fans and their passion for the sport, god bless every one of you

um I think it is important who deserved to win because sometimes teams win and cheated didnt deserve to win basically causing good teams to be disqaulified out of the world cup

I am gutted with the result but pleased with the performance. England should have beaten France tonight, arguably the best team in the world. We now face the prospect of Spain in a knockout should we qualify, but after today's performance against france I feel more confident than I did and I imagine French fans will feel slightly less confident despite their win.

give me a break france the best team in the world now ? i don't think so

*puts his finger on the map showing Argentina y Brazil*

Seems to be an excess of sour grapes in England at the moment......






I didn't watch the game so i can't really comment, but it is quite funny to hear you pomms whinge (again). A harsh result to swallow for English football fans, but alas, it has happened.

You don't even want to get me started on how many times the Australian national team has broken our heart - FFS we drew 2-2 with Solomon Islands the other day, although we fielded a really shitty team with no names.

Maybe you should actually watch the game to understand the emotion surrounding it.

Key events:
38mins: Lampard scores an excellent header from a Beckham free-kick. 1-0.
72mins: All Rooney has to do is play a simple pass to Vassell and we'll almost certainly be 2-0 up. Instead he decides to take on Silvestre, he flicks the ball past him and as he's running onto it Silvestre brings him down. Silvestre is only booked and a penalty is awarded. England have another chance to make it 2-0.
73mins: Beckham misses the penalty, a decent pen but a great save from Barthez.
91mins: Zidane is outside the England 18-yard-box when Heskey needlessly challenges him from behind giving France a last-gasp free-kick in a very dangerous area.
91mins: Zidane scores a good free-kick as England's wall is badly arranged.
93mins: Gerrard, under no pressure, plays a ridiculous ball back to David James but as James and Henry chase for the loose ball James collides with Henry. He escaped a red card. Penalty.
93mins: Zidane scores his penalty, the last kick of the game.


It's not as if England were outplayed by a better side and none of us can accept it, as you are making out. France scraped a win out of nothing in the luckiest of circumstances in the dying seconds of the game.

But as I said earlier we have positives to take from this, it was a bizarre turn of events but as Eriksson said after the game you can't be unlucky all the time. We showed more ability than most have given us credit for and I imagine the confidence of most England fans has actually risen, despite defeat.
