**Spoilers** International Football - England vs France

[Robbo]

I suppose most of us are watching this (potential horror show ) tonight, so I thought we could do with a thread.

Exciting Sky Sports preview - http://www.skysports.com/football/match_preview/0,19764,11065_3320461,00.html

TV - ITV1/ITV HD

I think it might be a bit of a borefest, but we'll see.

 

[Shamikebab]

I'll start watching, hoping France will be good to watch because I'm sure England won't.

 

[Cob]

Well Messi just scored another wondergoal against Brazil, so Bothroyd has a lot to live up to tonight...

 

[Hxc]

No thread so here is best... that messi goal. jeeeesus christ he is good.

 

[nydryl]

Great to see Messi turning on the style for Argentina now too - that was pretty special.

 

[Adrianr]

Annoyed Wilshere isn't playing. I would have quite liked to see him and Adam Johnson in the same team.

 

[jakeke]

Quite interested in this one, more than an average England game. Shame I am being dragged out

 

[Biz.Kid09]

Can anyone explain why Lescott and Milner are in the team?
The rest of the team looks decent and i hope Henderson has a good game so he as he is having a great season so far.

 

[Greenlizard0]

Any news of the team yet for England?

[Biz.Kid09]

Didn't realise Henderson could play left wing


Didn't realise Lescott could play

He isnt playing there i mixed him and Milner up.

 

[Robbo]

Oh look, its Gareth Barry.

He's good.

 

[roid]

Oh look, its Gareth Barry.

He's good.

I Lol'd.

 

[stoke1863]

Does anyone think foster is a bit of a Hollywood keeper? Not saying he's terrible but he makes most easy saves look dramatic. Think he is vastly overrated

 

[Hxc]

Nice hat Fabio. ahaha

 

[Biz.Kid09]

Loving Capello's cap ala Pulis!
Its not England but;
Internationals Ian: "Some disturbing news reaching us via Associated Press, who report that Manchester City striker Mario Balotelli is suffering boos and racist chants every time he touches the ball in Italy's friendly against Romania in Austria."

 

[Tummy]

Adrian Chiles should kill himself, ITV are ****ing awful with Football coverage.

Why is this being hyped up to be such a big game? It's a friendly Why are they talking about the French as being enemies? Why was Germany mentioned?

Also like how they've described the French as "flops" on the sky information England had a good world cup then?

 

[No1newts]

To be honest if Henderson and Carroll can make the step up that would not be a bad side and I would be happy enough seeing it in a qualifier.
