Trumpetgate update: FA had agreement with Uefa for #eng band to come in. Ukraine said no. 1st time in 18 years no #eng band at a game

Thank GHod for that. I was wondering why this match wasn't annoying the hell out of me.

But an England game just as brick as ever

Excellent. I figured they'd just stopped following England like most of the rest of country.

lol Ballack on the England game:

ZIS IS NOT FOOTBALL... I AM NOT IMPRESSED... PARKING THREE BUSES IN FRONT OF GOAL

A deserved draw, well done Roy and the players.

Edit: not sure about captain, though...

Very poor match, between two very average looking sides. Hope we improve, but can't really see it. Guess we need to win the next one and when Rooney comes back he injects some quality in the team.

Johnson 6
Terry 6
Lescott 7
Cole 6

Milner 3
Parker 5

Agree with that.
But France look like they have another gear to go into and were happy enough with a draw.
It will be interesting seeing England play Ukraine and Sweden when they need to go looking for wins.

A draw against a clearly more talented French side is a good result.

I'm sure there'll be a more attacking game plan for Sweden.

Agreed, thought both were excellent.

Maybe this was due to Englands game plan but France looked really brick. They did not look that good. Like i say could have been due to Englands tactics but I dont know.

Not so sure about that

Defoe, Henderson and Walcott - that's not exactly joker cards to sub in when needed; more of a joke cards (like some of the starters as well).
Poor teams and a poor match; as expected from the dullest group by far.

 

[Rossi22]

What does Parker do except fling himself in front of shots?
