C'mon England!!

[Geoff]

Let's get off to a decent start (will be a first, never won our opening match at the Euro's)... hammer them fecking frogs... Nelson v Napoleon! Once more unto the breach.

[Geoff]

That'll do for an opener.

[Skip]

Totally agree great opening start! Though did think we could have got the win if we had been a touch
More positive? Thought the French were very dodgy at the back!

Seeing nothing in the Ukraine v Sweden
Game to over worry us.

Come on England!

[Geoff]

I thought/think Hodgson was our best bet to be appointed England manager from the English crop and I'm pleased with what he has done. However you say...

Though did think we could have got the win if we had been a touch more positive?

We have to get used to our Roy not being a flamboyant coach and he will always restrain himself from being overly positive to sacrifice anything but defeat.

Nature of the beast.

[Skip]

Agree about Hodgson and certainly happy with the result.

The GK and back four of France I thought were average! Malouda not for me but the other 5 will
Cause most teams problems.

Got to get out of this group surely! Then being hard to beat and well organised could take us further than most expected!

And Rooney to return!

[Geoff]

Then being hard to beat and well organised could take us further than most expected!

Sounds very Germanesque to me... I'll settle for that!

[Skip]

And they know how to take a pen!!!
