France-Iceland : 3-2
Weird defending from France; they had a sole defensive midfielder though, in a very attack-oriented 11.
From 2 down, they got to win.
Iceland had pace, Evra had none. I hope Clichy will get the nod over him.
Ribéry scored the second, his first blue goal in 3 years (he was a sub and felt concerned all the time - this showed when the camera was panning over the bench).
Two assists for Giroud, used as a sub again. Sadly he only went into the team recenttly, and no Benzéma-Giroud has been tested yet.
Ben Arfa was so so. Ménez was more than so so. Cabaye seemed good.
Valbuena did well, as a sub.
Debuchy scored, and madman Rami scored the winner.

Barry out... Henderson in wouldn't look good, his first outing was a disaster. As a frog, I'd recommand him.
I don't understand that Richards stuff either; he has pace, is impressive and delivered at least 5 assists for City, where he didn't play all games...
