    think both sides will be more than happy with a draw. cannot lose your opening game, especially when the next two fixtures are against 'lesser' teams.

    0-0 bore fest.

    What's he that wishes so?
    My cousin Westmoreland? No, my fair cousin;
    If we are mark'd to die, we are enow
    To do our country loss; and if to live,
    The fewer men, the greater share of honour.
    God's will! I pray thee, wish not one man more.
    By Jove, I am not covetous for gold,
    Nor care I who doth feed upon my cost;
    It yearns me not if men my garments wear;
    Such outward things dwell not in my desires.
    But if it be a sin to covet honour,
    I am the most offending soul alive.
    No, faith, my coz, wish not a man from England.
    God's peace! I would not lose so great an honour
    As one man more methinks would share from me
    For the best hope I have. O, do not wish one more!
    Rather proclaim it, Westmoreland, through my host,
    That he which hath no stomach to this fight,
    Let him depart; his passport shall be made,
    And crowns for convoy put into his purse;
    We would not die in that man's company
    That fears his fellowship to die with us.
    This day is call'd the feast of Crispian.
    He that outlives this day, and comes safe home,
    Will stand a tip-toe when this day is nam'd,
    And rouse him at the name of Crispian.
    He that shall live this day, and see old age,
    Will yearly on the vigil feast his neighbours,
    And say 'To-morrow is Saint Crispian.'
    Then will he strip his sleeve and show his scars,
    And say 'These wounds I had on Crispian's day.'
    Old men forget; yet all shall be forgot,
    But he'll remember, with advantages,
    What feats he did that day. Then shall our names,
    Familiar in his mouth as household words-
    Harry the King, Bedford and Exeter,
    Warwick and Talbot, Salisbury and Gloucester-
    Be in their flowing cups freshly rememb'red.
    This story shall the good man teach his son;
    And Crispin Crispian shall ne'er go by,
    From this day to the ending of the world,
    But we in it shall be remembered-
    We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
    For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
    Shall be my brother; be he ne'er so vile,
    This day shall gentle his condition;
    And gentlemen in England now-a-bed
    Shall think themselves accurs'd they were not here,
    And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
    That fought with us upon Saint Crispin's day.

    Got a funny feeling England will pull off a 1-0 win, goal from Lescott or Terry from a set-play.

    My wedge is on a 0-0. Can't see us scoring but confident we won't concede.

    That card for Scotty is looking like a guaranteed double your money time to me.

    He usually mistimes a tackle and gets a card a some stage of a game. Especially today against a good French side.

    2-2 Terry own goal first.
    Come back from 2-1 down with a late penalty equaliser.

    Think we can nab this 2-0 if we play our cards right.

    COME ON ENGLAND!

    Looking forward to it there is alot riding on this fixture.

    I think it will be very tough and we mostly struggle against the French whatever condition their squad is in. As the game goes on we will be the more defensive side as the french have better attacking players.

    4-4-2 will be suicide if without a Rooney upfront.

    I think Parker will step up and be outstanding, he has a lot of heart, and I believe he is now the front for this England team.

    Cmon England kick off with a bang 3points, make the nation proud and allow us to believe we can win euro 2012.

    So, Hart; Johnson, Terry, Lescott, Cole; Milner, Gerrard, Parker, Ox-C; Young; Welbeck. I quite like it.

    Enough pace there to cause some problems. If our defence holds firm then who knows.
