Neil's been sharing Liam's "stuff"

everyone knows that England will concede 2 in injury time!

Even then 26-2 is still a trashing!

Hopefully Sven does not make that blunder in taking off Rooney for Heskey like he did in the France match.

I could see his logic - he wanted to have the best chance of finishing the game with 11 men

Yet it didn't work.

Really, Rooney, Beckham, King, and I guess Ashley Cole were England's better players.

For the match I would say Terry (if fit) will come in for King, and the same side v France.

Well I must say Thierry Henry and David Trezeguet have gone missing for about the majority of this tournament (in saying that Henry will get a hat-trick v Switzerland).

Henry has been a major disappointment - without Zidane, the French could have pretty well been out of the tournament by now.

Early days.

damn france have been lucky so far, trezeguets goal should not have been allowed, had that occured and they lost to england like they should have, they would be gone from the tournamet, instead, they only need a draw against switerland and they will probably go on and win the tournament now.

Saying that, though, When Henry burst through on his own and the linesman flagged for offside (10 minutes from the end), he seemed certain to score.

What did people think of England's 3-0 win over Switzerland?
I thought they were quite, quite awful until the second-half substitutions, then they were rampant.

Oh, right.

There's a HUGE Croatian population in Oz, I understand.

A few years ago, when Igor and Ace played for Derby, I think I'd have been rooting for them too.
