MATCH THREAD: France Vs. England - Euro 2012 Group D - 5PM KO

I would start Carroll seriously. One thing England does have is width and the French defence isn't all that. They wouldn't fancy Carroll all over them on crosses.

How can you support them knowing all that mate?

Save it Goat.. Stay in formation.

Welbeck should be in starting line up.
Gonna be a cracker this. Could go either way

Maybe the French could dress up as Women and then Carroll could bully them like a REAL MAN.

Fair point mate.

I like a man who sticks to his principles.

I would normally jump all over the England bandwagon, but theres only 2 players in the squad I dont hate with a passion, so its a no from me.

No worries. I can understand both arguments really.

Ideally I'd have less red****e players in of course, mainly because they awful, but they aren't playing for Liverpool here. They just happen to be English and in the squad.

As for the others you mentioned, I bet a lot of other players at the tournament have done various nasty things, we just don't know about it.

The weaknesses with the french defense is their positioning,their speed and their ability to cover for each other, they like to push up and leave space behind. Playing Carroll would be basically playing into their hands.

Has to be Welbeck and Young.

Fair enough. No Defoe?

Doubtful. Useful sub and his head probably not in right place understandably.

The french should stuff us with garlic but I fancy us for a sneaky undeserved 1-0

Oo I like the sound of that!

Hang on I'm feeling a bit odd. I think I might be having a twinge of optimism
