Edited due to not having seen the match when I started typing - so what I said wasn't accurate: It was pretty cruel on England but we shouldn't have collapsed in the way that we did...harsh on England but if you fuck it up against France they're not gonna fuck about, the free-kick was a stupid one to give away and Gerrards back pass was diabolical.

I still think we'll qualify though, Croatia aren't the same team they were with Sukur and Switzerland aren't anywhere near as good as us so as long as we can beat the weaker teams then its still possible to go through.

I can't really say France didn't deserve anything considering they totally dominated the 2nd half (even though we defended so well). A draw probably would have been a fairer result than a loss but its our own fault for bottling it after they scored their free kick. We have no-one to blame but ourselves (and lets face it the free kick by Zidane was amazing...even if the wall was arranged badly).

It doesn't matter where the people come from, all that matter is what jersey they have on. Take the NBA for example, when you talk about kobe, you start thinking about L.A. eventhough he's from philly. Nationality, age, etc....., are not an issue here.
It does matter. This is international football not club football. Totally different situations. What matters is whether someone has enough of a blood ties to a country etc...like I said, as far as I know France aren't breaking any rules so slagging them off for that won't do any good (except maybe to let off steam...after all no-one complained about that before the game...), but your comparison with national basketball teams could not be more incorrect.
