If Fred wins this one as well, I think we'll be banning him from all future competitions...  :D

Even fred couldn't save Belgium. From the moment France scored it was over.

Buuuut, only the final to win now!

Oi!

I'd always thought France would get through. But didn't really expect it to be a header from a defender.

Can't decide if I'm nervous or excited for tomorrow

I thought Belgium were going to win this one so that was a bit of a surprise.  Let's see if England can get the job done tomorrow!

And this also means that we've got our first prizes, with fred and Dazza both winning £5 credit!

If it ends up France v England can we have a German Ref to make sure we win, just so we can play Abba?

We were too confident!

Leon

Ah well, that was a real shame, but a major overachievement on what we expected England to do at this competition.  We've got a young squad and they can take this experience to grow and build on for the Euro's in 2 years time.

And we've got another prize winner, Genom gets £5!

Actually it's not that big of a difference, because when croatia wins, he'll have to pay the runner up prize twice  ;)

Well, the England team might have lost the football, but at least England stopped Thailand from becoming the world hide and seek champions.
