Shame that Wilshere didn't make it, very young, exciting looking team starting for england tonight; Gibbs, Walcott, Carroll and Henderson all starting.

Starting lineups.

FRANCE: 4-1-2-3. Lloris; Sagna, Rami, Mexes, Abidal; Gourcuff, M'Vila, Nasri; Valbuena, Benzema, Malouda

ENGLAND: 4-2-3-1. Foster; Jagielka, Ferdinand (c), Lescott, Gibbs; Henderson, Barry; Walcott, Gerrard, Milner; Carroll

Should be a good match. Clichy dosen't start though

Good goal there.

Where on earth is England's midfield?

This is so easy for the French.

Of course, England have no midfield and their passing is shocking.

Sometimes you take our football for granted and then you watch england pinging 40 yard balls in the air and everyone running away from the man carrying the ball and you thank your lucky stars that you watch Arsenal every week.

Try watching a team featuring the likes of Robbie Keane and St. Ledger and England won't look so bad.

I've seen Ireland complete a pass before...

Lovely nutmeg from Nasri on Barry in the first half.

England are playing as bad as ever though. You have to question what the hell Capello is doing. Has Theo even recieved the ball once without his back being turned against the goal?

Chamakh just scored for Morocco, by the way.

When he does recieve it, he looks right and Jagielka is still in his own half, looks left and Gerrad is making a run to the back post. This is exactly why players like Lennon get so much hype for england; dont even look for a pass, head down and get to the byline son!

Probably not the best time to mention it but once again you have to appreciate just how good Sagna is. Another assist today and generally looks like the best player on the pitch. He's marking a player two inches taller than himself and basically never loses a challenge in the air.

Oh go fuck yourself, Blanc. Are you seriously leaving Nasri on for the full ninety?

Nasri has bossed the game and he is scared to take him off.

Why on earth is Warnock ahead of Baines in the england squad?

It's very selfish when they're already 2-0 up though. He knows how important Nasri is to us this season and he knows we've got a derby on saturday.

Is Warnock back to playing midfield again by the way?

Just looked like he was positioned very high up the field for a moment.

Great performance by Nasri tonight in any case. You could hear him hit that post from a mile away.

Haha, what a great goal! How the hell did he keep that ball down?

Sagna and Nasri with basically the full ninety minutes. Fuuu...
