Missed first 15mins of England v France earlier, decent 1st half from what I saw

England had some nice moments but it's a shame that got deep after going 1 up and switched off as France were well below par. Once the equaliser went in, pretty much killed the game, the 2nd half was very dull, both teams scared of losing. Johnson had a good game for England I thought. A couple of times Gerrard did exactly what he said he wouldn't and bombed up the pitch on his own in a mad rush, lost it and could have left England in a bit of trouble. The centre backs did well enough. Midfield poor. Welbeck worked very hard. Young and Ox seemed to lack confidence with players of lesser quality around them. Hart should have done better on the goal and I have no idea how Milner gets a game for England, Norwich have better midfielders than him.
