Full-time: England 1 - 2 France
What the hell happened there? England's players have just trudged off shaking their heads and looking shellshocked, as well they might. France dominated possession, particularly in the second half, but that was the cruellest defeat you can imagine. Far worse than Man United's mugging of Bayern in 1999. They've got to bounce back on Thursday, and Sven will have to earn some of the fat wad he trousers. Oh dear, oh dear. That was absolutely incredible. Good night.
GOAL!! England 1 - 2 France
Zidane penalty, placed in the exact same place. I'm not making this up. Horrific back-pass from Gerrard, picked up by Henry who nipped past David James and yelped as the big mug clattered him and earned a ridiculous yellow card. Should have been red.
GOAL! England 1 - 1 France
Textbook Zidane free-kick from 20 yards out, bent past the wall and into David James' bottom right-hand corner. James didn't move, and you can't say they don't deserve it. AND NOW THEY'VE GOT A PENALTY!
88 mins - England 1 - 0 France:
From 12 yards, Willy Sagnol tries his luck and should score, were it not for Ledley King throwing his frame in the way to deflect the ball wide. He's been a hero tonight, Ledley King.
86 mins - England 1 - 0 France:
Hate to tempt fate, but France appear to have shot their bolt. Still plenty of possession but they've hardly troubled David James all night. Long hopeful balls into the box. Very poor.
84 mins - England 1 - 0 France:
Gerrard tracks back 50 yards and nicks the ball of Zidane's boot with a textbook sliding tackle. "Is Beckham playing," asks Euroresidentes, though I'm guessing that's not his proper name. Good question, and but for the fact he missed the penalty I'd say probably not. He, like Owen, has been well below average.
82 mins - England 1 - 0 France:
England look to be enjoying second wind and are finally coming forward. Long ball from Hargreaves to Heskey, headed back to Barthez. Text book defending from the big England hoss......."

what a game , two goals in injury time ! wow ! bien joué (sp. ? ) zizou !
