    Anyone seen the Sun's latest stunt?

    And them there are those who will moan that other countries hate us, is it any wonder?
    When I see crap like this it makes me ashamed to be English, I am so glad that rag does not represent me.

    The people that did that stunt are embarissing cretins that know nothing about anything.

    Can people just stop buying that newspaper.

    'banter'

    Much depends i think tonight on ooh Scotty Parker. His game is all about high intensity, and i'm just not sure he is 100% fit yet.

    Depressing innit? How would we feel if they projected a tricolor onto Westminster Palace, etc? Maybe we should have a seperate thread for the anti-Sun comments though and keep this one to the match.

    Agree although I think as much depends on Gerrard and whether he can stick to the plan and work for the team otherwise Scotty P will definitely struggle having to do the work of 2 men when he isn't 100%

    France have never won a finals match in Euros without Platini or Zidane in the side

    Yann Kermorgant isnt in there squad - we are therefore assured of victoryy !!! Although we have Martin Kelly in our squad, and to be perfectly honest i'd rather see chris solly as a replacement! The squad is confident they can triumph at EURO 2012 ... unfortunately the FA arent, they have booked flights for the squad straight after the group stages!!!! .......... great.

    Of course they have booked flights for after the third game. They have also booked hotels and flights all the way up to the final. They have to cover all eventualities.

    don't know about the French team but have just seen ours and wonder if we might be a bit fresher. Johnson, Ox C, Milner, Gerrard, Welbeck and even Young haven't played anywhere near their full quota of games this season. Parker had a rest towards the end of the season.

    go at 'em, we look horrible when we sit back and play one paced.

    gawn England.

    Just before the men in white coats arrive, I've got this strange feeling that we will win this one.

    Could we get into any more trouble? I've just seen Ray Clemence hobbling off - done his Achilles.

    To be honest I didn't realise he was starting, but we are very stretched...

    I seem to remember a certain Mr Solly doing a number on Oxlade Chamberlain just over a year ago - but then i doubt the French anyone as good at right back - so 2-1 to England.

    I thought it was Bessone who did well vs Southampton last season?

    I thought the keeper clipped Milner.

    Young finding a lot of space.
