[Oxx]

Already better than Downing.

 

[rodvik]

Bloody hell, I didnt know the Ox could do that.

 

[fanboi]

Kudos to Millner since he didn't run on the GKs hands and fell...

 

[Meier]

Just saw the replay (thanks Sunhi!) -- it wasn't quite as bad as you guys indicated. His first touch certainly didn't do him any favors but a goal from that angle would have been absolutely incredible.

 

[xbhaskarx]

Why is Ox starting instead of some slow uncreative 35 year old...

 

[dc89]

WTF at Ashley Youngs shin pads. Tiny things which don't even protect 25% of his shin but thick as a novel.

 

[Bo-Locks]

Gerrard is on the pitch, right? Best England player since Charlton. England central midfield is getting completely dominated. I am shocked.

Young and the Ox look quite dangerous.

 

[Milchjon]

I hate the French team, but I love the English reactions when their guys fuck up. So conflicted...

 

[Gareth Bale]

Just saw the replay (thanks Sunhi!) -- it wasn't quite as bad as you guys indicated. His first touch certainly didn't do him any favors but a goal from that angle would have been absolutely incredible.

No it wouldn't. That was a very easy chance. He put himself off balance for some reason.

Spot the City fan.

 

[Divius]

Sup guys, I'm joining you again. <3 Joe Hart not looking too good so far.

 

[Salazar]

France looking shaky.

Welberg is ready.

 

[Keyser Soze]

what that... england going for the win? :-o

Something will go wrong

- Own goal
- Missed Peno
- Dragon Knee

 

[Oxx]

Bebe cross.

 

[Vivalaraza]

I'm very surprised at how far forward Johnson and Cole are getting for England.

 

[PrematureQuiche]

We're playing a lot better than I expected.

 

[scorcho]

to be fair to Milner that's not his range and he didn't do himself favors with that first touch. not many strikers could've put it on goal at that angle and the way his body was twisting him down.

which points the obvious - he ain't a striker

 

[Vivalaraza]

City should sell him because he isn't fitting in with the absolutely incredible image the Sheikh's want to build at the Etihad.

 

[HollovVpo1nt]

CHICKS

 

[Outsanity]

To be honest, this is going better than I expected.

*Touch wood*

 

[Salazar]

Oh no Welbz. Please be ok.

 

[defel]

England = New Brazil?

 

[dc89]

Welbeck is down.

Also, how many France fans are there?!

 

[Divius]

I think I predicted France to win 2-1. So go France! (allez les blues?)

 

[Brinbe]

Welbeck, noooooo

 

[Shatner's Bassoon]

It's Carroll time!

 

[Diablos54]

Uh oh... Please get up Welbeck!

 

[Inversive]

Bullshit it was an easy finish.

 

[K1LLER7]

That would hurt

 

[Sviatoslav]

Carroll time!

 

[D4Danger]

somebody get the magic sponge!

 

[Brinbe]

phewww

 

[Salazar]

It's Carroll time!

:\

 

[Grover Cleveland]

Becky's off

EDIT: And then back on

 

[Jubern]

Welbeck is down.

Also, how many France fans are there?!

Less (maybe WAY less) than two thousands :/

Empty stadium is empty btw.

 

[Divius]

somebody get the magic sponge!

Or the healing spray!

 

[Meier]

No it wouldn't. That was a very easy chance. He put himself off balance for some reason.

That might very well be true, but that's a shot from like a 70 degree angle when he recovers the ball from the first touch. Again, it was a mistake, but based on the text I was reading, it wasn't as bad as it read. The goal was open but the angle of his eventual shot (which was not a good one) was undeniably tough.

 

[Gareth Bale]

That's why would play two in front of the back four though isn't it. One can fill on either side if they get caught out of position.

I've only seen that one segment of France fans behind their goal.

 

[dc89]

Evra in central midfield lol.

 

[Meier]

Obviously you're taking the piss, but he really is the exact opposite of a Nasri. He's clearly down the pecking order but there haven't been any stories out and about of him complaining of playing time (Johnson has been disappointed about this and understandably so) and he's not one to take shots at other teams. He's a model teammate, he just was overpriced and isn't really good enough to crack the Starting 11 on the squad so I'm all for shipping him off.

It's pretty simple. He should have scored. He didn't. It's a big miss.

Haha yes, I was just messing. Milner's a good squad player to have for any team.

He's so good he can play anywhere

 

[Fritz]

Deutsch GAF, where do you stream this? ZDF sucks ass!

 

[Jubern]

There was no supporter organisation, so the few supporter who did come to the game are probably all over the place.

 

[F#A#Oo]

My god what a snoozefest this match is...

 

[Juicy Bob]

Oxford-Cambridge is our best player at the moment.

 

[rooflapimp]

England looks horrible

 

[rodvik]

We are playing well. Pretty happy here.

Hah.
