Isn't that title a contradiction, "most successful" & "current" really don't go together when referring to the England football team do they?!

Well, the women's team is quite good, the men's team is a load of overpaid men-children.

[vonuber]

0:0 so far.

Why are some of the French players wearing so much makeup?

(I bet that's never been said here before)

Some of them are certainly easy on the eye. Plus good save.

They play quite rough too, don't they? I've seen about half a dozen things that would have resulted in a (completely unneeded) stretcher at the men's world cup.

Indeed. The girls are making the boys look like girls.

Have to say this French team are very good.

Yep, they do seem to always be in the right place at the right time to steal the ball.

The arse into the post must've hurt.

The England women are just like the men's team, ie crap in possession and positionally poor, technically bad and no vision, always trying to hit a 40 yard pass.

Do you know, i was just going to write the same. It is startling how similar they are, the run out of ideas after passing it around the back and then hoof it forwards. Such a shame.
The French team are so much more comfortable on the ball it's unreal.

[vonuber]

Here we go, second half. On the basis of the first, I will give it France 1: 0 England.

[Devilstreak]

Their keeper is a liability though!

[vonuber]

Wow that was close.

[vonuber]

A goal is most definately coming here.

[vonuber]

1:0 England!!
