France are now the new Italy! Always seem to playing with the handbreak own. Sometimes drastic measures are necessary Ribery being dropped may just be a blessing is disguise for France. He has played both wide and given the free role and IMHO he is no playmaker, simply too selfish and only passes when he is in trouble. Nothing to like from France in all three of their games.

PS: Sweden were excellent, where the hell was this team? I guess with the pressure lifted, they were free to enjoy the game

Who de ASS invited you to opine on my opinion that it was or wasn't significant? Oh wait, that ASS was you who invited yuhself... righto. And nutten wrong with that, since is only opinions being exchanged... therefore no need for your ASShole comment about "arbiter" and all dat ASSholery. However, the fact that they've carried on without a thought or incident since mitigates in favor of the notion that it really "wasn't as significant as men making it out to be". The "distinction" isn't the only thing hollow that yuh offering, so doh get hang up on dat.

Haul yuh equivocating, obtuse, pontificating cxnt.

To be sure it was you who not too long ago quite rightly pointed out on another thread that our venue is a public forum and opinions and comment are inherently to arrive from whosoever chooses to comment. Not that we needed any clarification ... but I'm glad you chimed in on that. Here, similarly, I chose to comment.

Hollow indeed.

The fact that they have carried on as professionally as they have is NOT decidedly conclusive or unpredictable, even to those who found the incident(s) amusing and intriguing.

If ever there was an example of an educated dunce, you would be front and center as both flag woman and flag bearer. There is no need to mention that comments on public forums invite responses... unless yuh just beholden to sound/sight of your own words. I myself said so then, and said so today, to wit: "And nutten wrong with that, since is only opinions being exchanged...", but you rather carry on using ah setta words to say nothing in particular. The words "obtuse" and "pontificating" come to mind.

Also... no one said anything about anything being "conclusive" yuh jackass... can you read? Do you understand what "mitigates" mean? Them carrying on "professional" is only part of the equation, any fool observing the exchange between the two could easily recognize that there is a certain banter there that is not indicative of strains in the relationship, as the comments here suggested last week. Plain and simple last week's exchange was significant only to those looking for a story. Good luck with that.

England was always winning that game today. Hate them of love them they are a bigger team than Ukraine and they more accustomed to winning.... Ukraine had chances and they had alot of territorial advantage but somehow they never looked like winning. I called it after the Sweden game that England would beat Ukraine in a heart breaker. To be honest England also looked like they had more gears in reserve so I wouldn't really judge them on this game. I've seen many a game where the lesser team runs the more established team around and gives them a few scares and still ends up on the losing end...sometimes by a few goals well - For me, this game was set up to be that kind of game from the start.

Wait my objectivity is lacking but yours not? You marking these papers or what. Fella out with you yes.

Absolutely! You de one saying England had no midfield today. Yuh Four Four Two image eh helping yuh either... because it shows England completing 82% of its passes, with Ukraine completing 85%. What yuh wha we take and leave?

You have to be freaking joking me, who's talking about pass completion? Try again nah. I swear you invented the pretzel yes.

You never saw the happy days back in England when guest houses had signs saying "no coloureds, no Irish, no dogs"?

I'm sure it was the case in USA (maybe still is) but there was a lot of overt racism towards jews in London.

Nowadays the targets in UK are Eastern Europeans. Although, in my experience, much of this was from people of Caribbean descent, who also are opposed to the influx of Africans. Its not about colour, its basically, anyone who comes to England to do the jobs the English won't do and work for minimum wage.

Of course, ironically, it was Caribbean, Indian and Pakistani immigrants who got the abuse from white English in the 50's, 60's and 70's.

Now I hear the same thing in T&T about Guyanese and Chinese.

People, whatever race, nationality or colour, always feel threatened by immigrants and their lack of understanding of other cultures.

However, I'm not sure what the Croats have against the Spanish!
