You have to admit, it was on the cards from the beginning. Losing to Belgium, then scrauping a win against S. Korea and now this.
They\'ll come apart against a strong attacking side, even WITH Zidane. And add to that, the inevitable blunder/gaffe/balls-up that that clown Barthez will obviousley make (a la Man U against Arsenal......remember?), things aren\'t looking so rosey.
Trust me, they won\'t win the championship. It\'s not certain that they will progress to the knockout stages.
If by some miracle they DO finish top, and assuming England finish 2nd, they will meet in the knockout.
Imagine that p1ss-poor French defence trying to handle Owen, he\'ll run \'em ragged.
