England V France

[joeluke]

Focus is 100% on the terrorist acts in Paris so draw is a good bet tonight

[Togo]

The game doesn't matter now joeluke . As long as we show solidarity and respect. Would enjoy a proper friendly, 4-4 would be a nice gesture.

[Gavmacp]

I think tonight is a brave and yet difficult decision to go with. But if I was French I would play with pride. It is not irrelevant!

[PankySmooch]

Can't believe Roy Hodgson asked the England fans to respect the minutes silence, what did he expect?

[ToraToraTora]

I've read 3 of your posts on various sports tonight! PMSL do you have any clue about any sport? Not soccer clearly!

[-Talbot-]

Soccer?

Soccer?

Ooooh get you ... Mr septic tank!

[joeluke]

Tora....it was a prediction which didn't come in. we played well against a subdued French team

If you can do any better feel free to try

[ToraToraTora]

Soccer is it's correct name, it comes from asSOCiation "Football" to distinguish it from Rugby or proper football.

[ToraToraTora]

I'm not claiming to be an expert in Soccer or as it's know writhing in "agony" - you predicted a draw not me .

[Mamyalynne]

I thought the opening showed great unity and was very moving - the correct decision to play was right in my view.

[joeluke]

Mamy....totally agree, you could have heard a pin drop during the minutes silence

Tora....only the yanks call it soccer

[ToraToraTora]

I'm not a yank.

[joeluke]

Then stop calling it soccer

[ummmm]

Not true, Joe, the Irish call it soccer too...

[mastercraft]

What is "proper football"?

[-Talbot-]

I know lots of Irish and I haven't heard any of them say ;soccer' ummm.

[jourdain2]

Not having any interest in football at all, we tried to watch the beginning. It doesn't really matter how it turned out, does it? Reads as if England won - again , it doesn't matter. The fact that it took place is important. --- See tonight's news about Germany.

[ToraToraTora]

It's the correct term.

[joeluke]

'It's the correct term'

Yeah cos that's why we play for the SA Cup isn't it?

[Zacs-Master]

So,why isn't it called the SA instead of the FA?

[ToraToraTora]

The Irish call it soccer to distinguish it from GAA sports.
