Sucidal french coach replaced his old but reliable Thuram with a left back! no wonder Eric was sent off after a couple of near let offs by Toni led to him finally tripping the Italian forward for a straight red. The scrappy affair produced 9 bookings and also an unfortunate own goal by Henry.
Well, to be fair, France was dominating before Ribery got injured and then the sent off. No luck i guess and time for the oldies to retire.
2-0 to Italy and they scrap their way through.....
Romania were pathetic in their attempt to beat Holland. No fighting spirit and no confidence. Much to do with Mutu penalty miss? in

way, they played like shit and were a big disappointment after their fiery display in earlier games. 2-0 to the Dutch and a perfect record so far.
