Not sure, I know Terry is doubtful and I expect to hear that Beckham has knackered himself in training any minute!
Who cares, BRING ON THE FRENCH

'Division One is to be known as The Championship as the Football League looks to raise the profile of the three tiers below the Premiership. Divisions Two and Three will be re-named League One and League Two.
With the top flight dominating media and public attention, the League hopes the changes will boost awareness.'

At least you dont have the Debacle that is the SPL.
No relegation in 2 years, no promotion either.
A compulsory 10 000 seater stadia for every club.
There are only like 3000 people in some of the towns that a few of the 1st division clubs play in.

That's a f***ing outrage. I thought things were bad in England, but that's a massive insult to the fans of the smaller clubs.
Ok, guys, as it's Friday and we have a damn big game on Sunday, let's have some predictions.
Personally, I think the England v France game will be one of the following:
1) We will sneak it 2-1
2) We will get our assess chewed out.
Maybe, I am being a little negative - but we've been down this road too many times not to be!!
Any thoughts?
PS - COME ON ENGLAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have a sneaky feeling that the French may not be up for it. England are the underdogs, and most neutrals won't be expecting us to win.
John Terry has failed a fitness test and will miss England's Euro 2004 opener against France on Sunday.
His replacement will be either Ledley King or Jamie Carragher.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/e...and/3796799.stm
Personally, I think our defence will miss him. John Terry could well be the player to fill the England boots of the much missed Tony Adams.

I think I'll go for option number 1 please.
England to win 2-1 sounds great to me.
We got a signed England shirt we are raffleing off in my local,which I am hoping to win.
It is signed by Martin Peters and Sir Geoff Hurst
Thats being drawn on finals night.

It comes with a certificate of authenticy and a photo of the two of them signing the shirt.
We have had Norwich signed shirts and footballs as well,all the money we have raised is going to a great cause.The Air Ambulance.

Since its the start of the EURO 04 , I will put my Cards in the table

I also Suspect Denmark will get far there two wingers could be the fastest in the competition,
Not just because im Scottish , I think England wont get past the group stage's if they get beat by France on Sunday, a draw may see them through

Thanks Cuffy,I knew you wouldn't let me down
Have to agree with you Scar,I don't think England will do much if they don't win tomorrow.Even though I really want them to go all the way.
I also hope Portugal don't win either Wun.
I agree with Scar and Freddy. England need something from the game with France, or we've got a mountain to climb. Well, we'll need to win two football matches, but you know what I mean.
A result likely to raise a few eyebrows. And to give Wun a chuckle.
Portugal 1 Greece 2
Portugal made a nightmare start to their Euro 2004 campaign, suffering a shock defeat to unfancied Greece.
Greece stunned the Portuguese fans after six minutes when Georgios Karagounis pounced on a Paulo Ferreira mistake and unleashed a 25-yard strike. Angelos Basinas converted a penalty just after half-time to make it 2-0 following Cristiano Ronaldo's clumsy foul on Giourkas Seitaridis.
Ronaldo headed home late on but it was merely a consolation for the hosts.
Thousands of expectant home fans packed into Porto's Estadio do Dragao, but their team appeared hamstrung by nerves.

In my Defence , I done a Uri Gellar 
I hate the Portugese , I just thought being at home with half the porto team (Who I also Hate) would be slighty more formidable than to beat off the crappy Grease
I retract my earlier prediction and ... Mon the Croats
Get it up ye Portugal , YOU SUCK

Europe now has a new charity organisation.
It's the England football team.
1-0 up, 4 minutes to play, and we give the French two goals.
It may be the 13th June everywhere else in the world, but in France, they must think it's 25th December.
What a sickener.

I would not like to be near that stadium right now.
To my mind, English fans + booze + last minute disapointment = volatile situation
hope they prove me wrong...

England fans in my local let us down.Atmosphere was great before France scored,then when that last goal went in all hell broke loose.Friendly people turned into a bunch of idiots that thought that everyone else in pub was the enemy
Glad we don't have any Frence living up here,otherwise they would have been targets.
I missed a lot of the game as my boss had not put enough staff on,so I had to go and help.
Well that's just excellent!!!
Can't beat starting the week on a high!!!
Can someone please explain to me the logic in taking off Rooney for that large brick outhouse, otherwise known as Heskey?
All we needed to do was hold the ball up, however Heskey seemed to think one way of doing that was to foul just outside the box and gift a free kick.
Can't blame James for the penalty though, he really didn't have much of a choice.
Still guys, time for a bit of optimism here; we need to do well in the other two matches, but neither of those boys looked too impressive in their 0-0 game, so there is still hope.
keep the faith!!!!!!!!!!

Your right Stamford,we do have to keep the faith.It isn't over til the fat lady sings,and I shot her last night
I believe that we can win our next two games.Their match was nothing impressive so we still in with a BIG chance.
Like you said,not a great start to the week.
Wonder how many people have phoned into work sick today

Why Why WHy Why?
Why do england fans do this?
BTW you know what pisses me off , the news are reporting these riots as taking place all over BRITAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.
And the ones gettin arrested in portugal are being described as BRITONS.
Funny how when this happens its described as british but when england are successful its described as england.
Its so unfair to tar the rest of us with this hoologanism.
BTW england where unl;ucky last nite , france were the better team though.

| Why do england fans do this? |
To be honest, the true ones don't. For my part, my local was very well behaved; everyone just sat around disecting the game over a few beers.
The most important thing is that the behaviour of the England fans in Portugal has been excellent; a few arrests, but nothing like we have seen in the past.
My worry is what will happen if we self destruct in the next couple of games; at the moment we still have hope, if that goes then we could see some trouble.

Yeah lets just hope they stay peacful.
Howvere the fact that it is such a lottery is really disturbin.

What else to say...a good reward to the sadness I felt when I saw the attitude of some of England supporters when they played our hymn.

It's a sad part of the game that annoys me, too, Ronin. It happens everywhere. Whenever one set of fans outnumber the other, there is usually booing over the other teams anthem. People should grow up and learn how to keep quiet for a few minutes.
Why is it that it seems in every match I have seen with England, whether the World Cup or Euro, England score a goal and then completely loose it. Meaning afterwards they don't keep up the pace, loose focus and slow down completely. It happened again last night when really England had a very good chance of winning if they had kept playing the way they did in the first half.

I think to be fair that we should take consolation in the fact that we held our own into injury time.
Zidane is not 'the World's greatest footballer' for nothing; we gifted him the chances and he took them.
The fact is that if Beckham had scored the penalty then we would have won, simple as that.
My only gripe is that we bought that lump Heskey on; someone like Joe Cole would have been better, he could have held the ball up, Heskey has trouble standing up!!
I agree, Stamford. Beckham scores the penalty, French heads go down, we win.
And the fact that we held our own for almost 90 minutes against the French is both what makes our idiotic defeat so painful, and yet what also gives me hope for the next two matches. We played well, until Heskey (the man with a cauliflower arse) felt the urge to be a defender.

Switzerland and Croatia are going to be interesting matches; if our lads have the ability to rise above last night I can see us progressing to the next round.
As long as we keep our heads this should not be above us.
Someone told me we could meet the French in the final (not sure if that is right and obviously this depends on how we do in the next few games), but can you imagine how great that would be...to do the French in the final!!!
Sorry, Ronin6th about the booing by the way.
To be honest booing durin the anthem is nothin new and not exclusive to any nation.
We all do it. lol.
If thats all that happens then its just a bit of banter., Just sing louder.

About booing, I completely agree with you Cuff and I think it's a fact that affects a lot of soccer supporters generally...whereas respect remains in other sports.
I think it sucks when you get a few idiots start something off then draw everyone around them into it.
A mate of mine was arrested last night because him and his girlfriend were in the wrong place at the wrong time.
One bloke(who was NOT a regular in the pub )decided to start throwing glass bottles around.One just happened to hit my mates girlfriend on the back so he went mad.His girlfriend is pregnant so he just saw red,he hadn't been drinking either.
As for disresspecting your National Anthem Ronin6th,there is no excuse for that.Its just as bad when people start burning other countrys flags,its out of order.
Football will always have the image of violent fans,Englands being one of the worse.
I wish it wasn't like that,but it is.
BTW,my mate got let off with a caution as he was sober and due to what happened to his girlfriend.She got a nasty gash on her shoulder.
