Anyway, we look fairly strong, and a good confidence booster for Rooney no doubt.
Gary Neville was immense in the first half, his attacking 'prowess' was a bit of a suprise really - a decent assist as well. Vassel looked lively as usual when he came, and will probably play a similar role in the Euro Championships - coming on late-ish in games.
Overall, pretty damn satisfactory methinks.

That's the thing though, on their day, France could beat us 3-0. However if they turn out, half as poorly as they did at World Cup 2002 and we play, like we did against Germany (5-1), Turkey (2-0) or Argentina (1-0), we'll win.
