ROONEY!!! What a goal!!!

Three years and it was worth the wait!!!!!!! Come on England!!

On paper, it looks a good attacking formation, but you HAVE to ask, why change the formation of a side that took supposedly the best team in the world on and matched them for 90 minutes? Sven-Goran Ranieri strikes again.

Portugal look to be giving themselves a chance, but if Greece beat Russia in four days, it'll all be no use.

That'll be Totti's excuse for not playing for a shite team any more.

Benoit/Angle from 01/03 is the only match that comes to mind that has it all.

Very good player, although quite unknown outside of his country, for some reason.

Anybody with Nedved in their team has a chance.

Yep, but like every other international who isn't playing for Chelsea, he's been linked with Chelsea.

This 'Three years without an England goal' is really hammering on Scholes' confidence, and even if he has the bad game once in a while, people seem to forget how good Scholes really is. James isn't to blame for the defeat, Heskey isn't, and Beckham's penalty certainly isn't. We beat France, any other number 10 on the pitch for France and we'd have won it. Good job ZZ is 31, We'll win the world cup if he's not playing 99 times out of 100, we'd have won that, Zidane is pure class though, but i still think we'll win this tourniment. We'll get our revenge in the final.

We're going to be in Europe next season! Right? So what's our league called?

Funny, we used to say that about Darryl Powell and the Derby manager.

That was what i said after it finished, ^sorry, HAD to use a quote there The Paul Parker bit was gold, especially the re-inactment.

^ Absolutely, as soon as he threw himself into the first challenge, i felt good with him there. Filled Terry's boots easily.

So glad they got a draw earlier.

No.. I still think we'll get our revenge in the final against France.

Kinda wishing Beckham hadn't rushed the penalty mind.

As much as he could to get the ball away. Rooney was great tonight.

I feel bad for Gerrard, it's a routine pass back to the keeper. Except he of all people was in the box.

Ah, so they've come off worse then.

That was unbelievable.

Rooney's having a great game, i must admit i cringed when he megged a player on the edge of his own box...

Like when i released Rey Mysterio (read this thread in the past) and hired him over a year later, only to realise his morale was STILL the same..

1-0 England at half time!

Jericho and Daniels didn't deliver *****!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
