England have mostly been trying to respond to French pressure by defending well and then hitting their opponents on the counterattack, and that's worked fairly well so far. They are, however, perhaps feeling emboldened by the chance James Milner just spurned, and decide to apply some sustained pressure of their own. That went fairly well until Glen Johnson touched the ball, at which point it went flying out of play.
And, ugh, Danny Welbeck's gone down with an injury. Alou Diarra fouled Ashley Young in midfield and the ball was launched forwards, where Welbeck and Adil Rami jumped up to contest possession. Rami's landing saw the Valencia centre back rake Welbeck with his studs before landing on his foot. That looked a painful one, but hopefully the centre forward is ok to continue. Unless you really, really want to see Andy Carroll.
