Weird game. It was off to a good start. But England played defense the entire second half. They barely tried to move the ball past the halfway line. I didn't like the way they played. On the other hand, France played great. I don't think they have enough to win, but they're going to be tough.

These tournaments are a great reminder of how much of a diver and faker Ribery is.

I picked France to win. I was reading Rooney was out and that England's goalie isn't great.

The shot that beat him was really good. England didn't look great, but I feel like their style of play was so defensive that it was hard to get a feel for their skill level.
