This was the first time I saw England play for some time, I think this is the strongest England side for years, they held the French very well for 90 minutes, Zidane and Henry were well contained untill the panic at the end. Zidane is allways capable of a moment of magic, which he produced on cue. England will have no trouble with Croatia, or the Swiss, and could go a long way. I have had the misfortune of watching Germany play many times, and I don't see them doing much.
