10k on Capello and company.

I see a 2-1 win

[gunner_girl91]

i'm really not sure bout this one...it depends what mood our team are in and its too early to see what influence capello has made...i s'pose we'll find out on weds!

but i'll go 4 england coz...well i have to really

[YIDDO]

I see a draw, so I put my measily 400 odd on a draw :icon_mrgr:

[YIDDO]

Rio Ferdinand has been named Captain for this game :thup

[jonesy]

What no Welsh matches again!!!!:ranting:

[YIDDO]

Never fear, YIDDO who can create vBookies and will create the Welsh game vBookie right now, is here! :lol

This is really tough to call. On the face of it, I can't see England getting much from the game, but then Capello has got a decent squad and I think he's got the confidence of the players. France play with a hell of a lot of pride at their place and if it's the 'same old England' then the best we can hope for is a draw.

[RedRabbit]

not really I just like french letters so Im sticking to french :mouth_closed::goodpost5pe:

french letters do seem more sophisticated than english ones... must be all the accents :tongue

Still think that England can win this one.... Scotland won there, so it must be easy :laugh

dont talk to me about accents on french letters..i've been typing up french essays all morning for my GCSE, its so annoying having to stop at evey other letter and try to remember the ALT number to get the right accent on the right letter :ranting:

[Silverwhite]

England to win 1-0 ( A Lucky Lumpalard special ) Saha to come on for France , and be his usual uneffective self .:nod

[RedRabbit]

it just came to my mind that with Rio given captaincy, Terry maybe not be playing/starting. Well thats my idea, sure to be corrected once the lineups are announced.

[YIDDO]

Should be watching the Northern Ireland v Georgia game like me, 3-0 so far, cracker!

[RedRabbit]

James gives a penalty to France

[RedRabbit]

and Ribery makes it 1-0

[domcassells]

shocking game, wish i watched one of the other now

[Black Swan]

Great night for France, not only beating England, but Frenchman Seb Carole scores the second goal for Leeds United reserves in a famous 2-0 win over Lincoln.

Wish I had gone, it would probably have been better fare than the game I have just endured.:nod

agreed. listening to wilkins and hoddle try and do their best disecting the players, is even more boring

[jonesy]

Bit of a yawn fest really. Still don't look convincing do they. Disagree with the pundits too, I don't think they played well as a team. I know their was a lot of subs due to being a friendly and all, but there were far too many loose passes.
