Its a tough decision. I'm going to side with England and a 2-1 victory, but thats because I'm a) English and B) support my team
1st goal - Roonevator special. From a million yards out. Possibly deflected off Desailly.
2nd goal - Tezza Henry skips past the whole of midfield and defence and launches a screamer into the bottom corner.
3rd goal - Penalty kick in the 95th minute after Desailly elbows Owen in the chops.
There are weaknesses on both sides. The French defence is looking creaky with Desailly being hopeless at Chelsea this year, and Lizerarzu being 35+. Whereas the English midfield can attack very quickly leaving open spaces behind them. (e.g. Frank Lampard in the diamond against Japan)
I just wish we didnt take Joe Cole and Emile Heskey. They are defintely England's "weakest link" by far and I hoped Sven would include some "fringe" players like James Beattie and Shaun Wright Philips. Unfortunately Sven is going with the tried and tested route - I have no problem with this, just can't wait to see how it plays out.
Anyway these are my thoughts. Probably not right but who cares? Whats everyone elses take on it
