Sweden are already out, we're already through. Need to secure top spot though in order to avoid Spain...

[Markface]

Technically France could go out with a Ukraine win/England Ukraine draw and a heavy defeat to Sweden... but I won't bank on it.

I'll stick my neck out and say a 1-1 draw. Ribery to net one the first if he starts.

If Ukraine win and France lose heavier than England then yes we might go out. But I can't see neither the Swedes beating us nor the Ukrainians doing the English. If England vs Ukraine ends in a draw will we qualify no matter what as we'd be equal on points with Ukraine who we have beat.

0-3.

Benzema to arrive.

[NicktheDagger]

I have to back Benzema to break his duck here - he's been threatening to all tournament. Also reckon Cabaye will get on the score sheet again, he was a key figure last time out.

[thespus]

What a fucking goal by Ibra! Goal of the tournament! Switched over just in time to see it.

[mistermagic]

Ibra scores. Cool goal.

I'm not watching this.

[thespus]

Koscielny needs to play. Rami and Mexes have been poor.

[mistermagic]

You haven't been watching either but I'll take your word for it.

[thespus]

I watched about a ten minute period after the Rooney goal. They were poor in that very small sample size.

[mistermagic]

We should go on strike...

[anaconda]

I never would have picked that result tonight

[NicktheDagger]

Disappointing performance but we shall rally to defeat the Spanish - we're going to win this thing!

[Ardeche]

Very average French team and by fare, worst torunament's group.

[Super_Horns]

I suspect Italy will be pleased with this result...they'd probably rather play us than France.

[JJ1532]

This was Frances first defeat in how many games? Didn't I see that Spurs were interested in Blanc? Could that have something to do with tonight?

[mistermagic]

Judging by the punditry after the game, we were shocking.

[allouso]

Had two TVs on and France looked really, really poor.

Stunning goal by Ibra though!

[Satch]

Majestic.

[SALT1R3]

Majestic.

It is but that gif doesnt do it justice, it should be shown at full speed for the quality of it to shine. Goal of the tournament by far.

[Sideshow Bob]

What a goal!

[CraigBFC]

Anyone else but Mexes would have blocked that fucker to be fair, it would have deflected off Paolo Cannavaro's Godly thighs and all the way across the field into the France net is all I'm saying

[kotlerl]

What a great goal, Ibrahimovic has had a tremendous tournament. Real shame he'll be heading home.

[Satch]

The golden, all beating French losing their 22 match unbeaten run to a Sweden that are already out? We top the group despite everybody saying we didn't have a cat in hell's chance of going through??

We're f*cking England, our heart beats this sport and we're taking it back. Continue writing all the negatives, all the criticisms, it's about time we did this, like it or lump it.

Not sure if you're being sarcastic or not, but come on, that's simply not true. You and France were obviously the favourites to progress despite most people expecting a slightly better Sweden than the one we saw here.

You'd be surprised. The rest of the nation expected us to go out in the groups, we may have been expected to go through by the rest of Europe but the feeling over here was very negative, even by the press!

[Black & Gold]

I see. Well I think most non-English fans will agree with me when I say it wouldn't have been a shock if you had been knocked out, but it's not such a big surprise you finished top either. You struggled but won against Sweden and did a professional job against Ukraine, which is pretty much what I expected you to do. I thought France would beat you but you did well there. Fair play, you have a decent chance against Italy now, I am just a bit surprised at what I feel are some over the top comments!

Oh fuck off.

[Ebeneezer Goode]

I'm pretty sure he was just joking.

[Jockney]

It wasn't a very funny joke. Cry cock for Alex, Rasta and those bores.

[Bilo]

One draw against Ukraine or England (and we were in the lead in both games) and we'd be through. Happy days.

[PDS]

Absolutely sensational goal. Ibrahimovic showing just how good he is when he turns it on. He's had 3 decent games, just let down by the team behind him.

French fans still showing immense amount of confidence, verging on arrogance, that they are going to win this tournament, yes they're a decent side but that defence is poor. Spain will teach them a lesson (Very glad we have avoided them!)

[SweWannabeScouser]

We outplayed the frog eaters, it's a shame that we lost against Ukraine and England tho, we deserved much better.

[Pagnell]

No, you didn't.

I also like the casual xenophobia.

[Ebeneezer Goode]

It seems to be a trend that the Swede's think they didn't deserve to lose against England. Fair enough the Walcott goal was a fluke, but then, what about the Johnson own goal? That was a massive fluke too. Beyond that, we forced two point blank saves from the Swedish keeper, while the closes to that that Hart had to deal with was a long range effort from Ibra.

[Pagnell]

Thinking about it, perhaps he meant the fans deserved better from their team in the first two games. In which case he might be right.

[Bilo]

Or maybe he's just deluded. We were shit for 135 minutes, and were decent for 45, and good for 90. That won't get you through the group.
