France and England fans react to Monday's (11th June) Group D 1-1 draw at the Donbass Arena in Donetsk, Ukraine.
Script:
England 1-1 France in Group D of Euro 2012, here's what the fans made of it:
SONDBITE (English): Mike Richardson, English football fan:
"I thought it started at a quite a good pace but in the end, both teams were happy to play for a draw. France was a better team, it had more skills. England were trying to play in counter attack but did not really have the quality in the final third. And I think you could see from the speed of the game in the final third that both teams were happy with a draw I think. For England it is a good result, I think France could have done better if they pushed harder."
SOUNDBITE (English): John Brandson, English football fan:
"The boys did well, well done (Steven) Gerrard, the lads came through. Come on England!"
SOUNDBITE (French): Olivier Gougeon, French football fan:
"I am bit disappointed, it felt more like a friendly match, compared with other games in this competition such as Spain against Italy it was a bit disappointing. I hope we will use this match to go further, and that our team will show a different face."
Next up in Group D England take on Sweden, while France face co-hosts Ukraine.
