    Could have been sent off for 2 yellows in the 1st half. No idea how he hasn't been at least booked yet.

    Ox has had a good game imo. Himself and Welbeck have done as much as they could do. Gerrard should be doing more.

    England's formation, set-up and tactics are giving me such awful flashbacks of the Liverpool team under Hodgson. He still thinks that setting up his team as if he's managing a team of Swedes in the 70s is going to win him silverware.

    Really hope Newcastle don't get Debauchy. He's been quality IMO.

    For a good reason. Both have to be among worst players to be in any squad.

    Oh now come on referee. Henderson to his credit actually got the ball and you gave a free kick against him?

    He has been seriously poor.

    Yeh, ref hasn't done England any favours.

    I hope England do well. Have money on the draw so would be happy with as is. Also how can anybody support the French after henrys robbery!

    really? only one team has tried to win this game in the 2nd half...england have been very poor in my opinion....they are sitting back happy with not losing the game.

    oh and france are not great either.

    It's tight but probably the worst game of the tournament. Every time France have the ball in the England half there are 9 behind the ball. France not offering much either.

    Consistent poor touch, bad runs being made, wrong passes chosen. They don't look very good at all and I'm sure they'll be quite happy with 1-1.

    Blanc to take the draw, build up the confidence against the group minnows I suppose.

    England CMs were so poor they couldn't string 2 passes together or retain possession. No wonder whole team defends deep and gets dominated by every team.

    Yay its a draw :) as predicted

    Mind you the ref was giving England nothing today.

    The French were more fluent but most of the time England were equal to them and overall did okay.

    Looks like Woy looked at Spains 6 man midfield and put his own take on it.

    Boring,boring game, made worse by ITV's whiney commentary, hopefully Sweden and Ukraine can put the two of these teams out.

    All in all, a good result for England. A shame they didn't really make any effort to try to take advantage of the very obvious weaknesses in the French back four.

    Against France in the first game of the tournement, I guess the system is somewhat forgivable. However knowing Roy, I expect the team to be equally defensive and unambitious against the Ukraine and Sweden.

    A point against clearly the best side in the group in the opening game. You can use those smile faces all you like but its far preferable to trying to match a side who are far better technically and being convincingly beaten, as happened to your side last night.

    Clive Tyldesley is one insufferable fool though. England looked as likely as France to nick it?

    20 shots to 5. I'm muting it the next time England are on.

    Disappointed in France though if I'm honest, as I said at the start, I thought they would struggle if England came for the draw and they did. No urgency with them either, seemed to settle for the draw with 20 minutes to go, this applys to the manager also who could have made changes to put the pressure on England

    England should be delighted though, another draw against Sweden and a win v the Ukraine and they might get through
