A great game so far, but holy shit I almost died at Bartez's save. At least Becks hit the net. :p

And I think england's played a really good game overall. It's easy to say France's offensive stars haven't played well, but the English deserve at least some credit for that. While France seems to have the bulk of the possession they haven't really dominated any stretches of play that I've seen, although you can see the mismatch in speed and power the French possess at times. A few dangerous bits, but England's manufactored some too.


Oooh, that was the first prolonged action in the England box that I've seen. France is playing desperate now.... gonna be a barn burner.

Holy shit! :-o Damn france and those injury time strikes!

The annoying thing is that now the whole Beckham miss will be tiresomely argued.


GOOD GOD. Penalty shot!



Gypsy curse. That's the only thing to explain it. Poor England. :(

OH MY GOD. France doesn't score in the world cup at all, they look like they're never going to score. Zidane scores two in 3 minutes of stoppage!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BEST GAME EVER. AMAZING

Everyone gave Barthez hell for being in this lineup, but he won it for them. Or Becks lost it. Either way, they blew it big time.

Emotional rollercoaster.

I now need beer, and LOTS of it.

Fair dues to France, we should have held on but fell to pieces at the end.

Now, that beer....

OMG, that's just crazy! From 0-1 to 2-1 in 2 min, in overtime!! England made a mistake towards the end, and France took the little chance they got. Football history.

Emile Heskey MUST BE SHOT, in the face, twice, i know you are reading gun tot'in yanks, just do it, no one will try and blame you.

France deserved a Draw but winning was a little much.

Well, considering I said:

If England lose 4-0 to France I'll change my tag to Loser...

I think I'll keep my tag & dignity as it is, thankyouverymuch :p

You knew it was all over when Heskey was bought on to be honest...Rooney Englands best player by far, so logic:- take him off. :rolleyes What the fuck is Heskey still doing in an England shirt?!?!

Worst fucking England disaster ever.

Still qualifying shouldn't be a problem given how inept Switzerland / Crotia looked.

I really feel sorry for Campbell and the rest of the defence, they were stirling, only to be let down the dolts at the end. Gerrard - wake the fuck up!
 
OMGOMGOMGOMGOMG
Must be bad to be english right now, stupid french dude's.
If Beckham got the pen right nothing of this would have happenend.

Well, it was meant to be a clash between Zidane and Beckham, and I agree that the best one won.

Beckham : did a lot of work, but became invisible after his missed penalty. Brilliant free kick assist to let Lampard score, and one missed penalty

Zidane : did a massive amount of work, was visible during the whole match. World-class free kick to score and took his responsibility on the penalty.

A really classic match, one that will be dearly remembered for a long time IMO.

:lol that pic cracks me up.


But seriously, England should just go home now. There's no coming back after that, next game against Switzerland they should just stay off the field, have Gerard boot one own goal at the outset and then just file onto a jet waiting on the street outside the stadium to fly them home.

That second half was CRAZY. France controlled the ball for almost the entire time but just couldn't get any chances. And then Zidane struck. I really wish I would have gotten into a pool in time because he would have been my first pick. Awesome and incredible win for France. Beckham will surely be the scapegoat in this one.
