Romania 0 France 0

How disappointing were the French? I was keen to see the probable Arsenal man Nasri, who was brought on late to play just behind the front man Gomi, when the French changed from 4-4-2 to 4-4-1-1.

I'm not really bothered who wins Euro 2008, but I have been thinking about Karen's education and really think languages are important. With that in mind, I've resolved to improve the only language I know a bit: French.

And so, with that in mind, I'm planning to follow (as opposed to support) the French team, and attempt to read about them in French websites. Proportionally, I know so more of them from Arsenal, and from previous tournaments, than any other nation, so I've got the best chance of following what these websites say.

Alan Hansen joked he was going to leave until he remembered he was under contract with the BBC. Marcel Desailly was despondent. Gary Lineker said they struggled to find highlights.
