    Some team news: Terry doubtfull ater completing only 20 minutes of training today.

    Carragher more than likely to replace him.

    ----

    Some comments fromScholes and Vieira could make it a heated affair :D

    I can't wait :)

    Difficult. Southgate's not in the England squad.

    No problem :)

    I might regret saying this but I don't see anything other than a France win here. England have a dodgy goalkeeper, only one tried and trusted centre back, inexperienced or prone to silliness left backs, no left midfield, Scholes has been crap in an England shirt for years now, and only one real striker (Owen) who had a pretty average season just gone, at best.

    Compare this to the French players and I can see England getting stuffed.

    Ledley King has trained alongside Sol Campbell in training so it looks like he'll start instead of Carragher.

    As Keane said, Scholes plays better with Utd because he has better players with him! haha!

    Also can only see a France win! England r a joke and there is manager isn't world class like they keep telling themselves!

    This should be a cracking furious opening 30 mins or so, I think France will go in 1 up at half time,(Zidane) Engerland to throw caution to the wind after 60 replacing Rooney with Heskey.
    Gerard sent off for a second yellow.
    Engerland down to 10 men
    1-1 ith 10 to go

    final score 2-1 France .
    France sneak it in the last 5 with Wiltord....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
    Just my .5 cents worth!!!! :)

    Who's reffing it??
    Anyone seen odds on the game

    3-1 France. 18-1 with Patrick Powers

    With the exception of Sol Campbell this is probably the worst England defence of all time.

    I think Trezeguet could get a couple

    campbell,Terry (yeah i know he's not playing) and cole in the team of the season. And Neville at right back isn't that bad.

    I agree with 3-1 however :)

    France to win 2-1 with Rooney sent off towards the end of the game.

    I'm telling you, Ronney will lose his cool and be sent off in 1 of the games.

    I don't think thier Defense is terrible, obviously without Terry it ain't world class but ya can't win em all :)

    Their strength is obviously in midfield, where they have definally one of the best in the world, with all players hvaing incredible drive and determination.

    I think it'll be a very interesting match, with France maybe just edging it.
    Personally i'm rooting for England, i really want Scholes, Beckham and Owen to get something at an international level

    I want England to win this. I don't think they will but what the hell it would be nice to see them beat the French (plus a bonus for us in demoralising the French for October!!).

    I'd like to disagree with that logic.

    WC86 : Belgium come 4th
    EURO92: Denmark WIN.
    WC98 : Croatia come 3rd
    Euro 2000 : Holland reach semis.

    Whilst I'm not happy we're up against France next season, clearly (for whatever reason) the better these teams perform in their finals the more it affects them when it comes time to play us in the next set of qualifiers. :)

    1-1, Henry to open the scoring and Owen to save them.

    In all honesty, as much as I hate Neville he is one of the best right backs in Europe. Its not a position where there is a huge amount of outstanding talent. He is extremely consistent. And if Ashley Cole can keep out Wayne Bridge he cant be that bad. Terry and Campbell speaks for itself.

    He is defenitley one of the best rights backs at the moment . Ashley Cole is good but is not the best. Csmbell is good. They have a good defence thereand I cansee them going far in the tournament

    I personally rate Bridge ahead of Cole, and probably one of the best left backs in Europe. But SGE has worked with the two of them and must see something. So Cole mustnt be that bad.
