Goodness gracious.
France played atrocious football. They should have the title of 'reigning Euro champs' stripped off. Super atrocious.
They acted like they were so sure they could win Croatia, to the point of being conceited.

France vs Croatia 2-2
Everyone thought France could win this easily, but hell, NO.
Instead Croatia was the one that played so much BETTER, they are a replica of Energizer's slogan "Never Say Die", esp displayed by Prso. And of cos all the hard work paid off.

Yes yes, you guys probably think I'm darn worked up over a draw.
France didn't lose to Croatia right? Yeah right.
They deserved to lose man, if not from that lucky equaliser.
Lady luck is certainly smiling France's way, when a bad back pass allowed Trezeguet to score. And the French always depends on Zidane.
The opening goal was courtesy of a great free kick by Zizou, where the ball was deflected into goal by Croatia's Tudor.

If you wanna defend your title, do something.
Play like this again, your bags will be packed.

And the earlier match- England vs Switzerland 3-0
Well England didn't exactly play very well, in my terms, not as well as the one against France.
But they did well enough to beat the 10 men Switzerland.
Sometimes I do pity the teams that are termed underdogs. They tend to get bullied.

Thumbs up to Wayne Rooney, who's a young red chilli who's full of zest but loses his temper easily. Great young talent, who took up the goal scoring job from the dormant Owen, though his pass to Rooney for the first goal was commendable.
The second goal from Rooney was GREAT. A very primitive shot.
And Gerrard made up from that mistake from sun with a 3rd goal.

I'm still so exasperated by France's performance.
Yelling at them throughout the match. Waste of my time, except to see Zidane.
I'm so engrossed into soccer that I've been losing track of other things.
And this staying up frenzy will last till 5th July... I'm not too sure if I can take it.

My only wish now is to feel well enough later to watch Harry Potter.
I hope I'm not even denied that...
