to see Romania put up such a tough fight against France. If I am not mistaken, Romania finished top of their group during qualifiers and are pretty strong. Also they played without any hassles of needing to prove anything, so it was a tough fight. France really need to improve their finishing, it was pathetic, and Anelka should've nailed the header chance he got, under no pressure whatsoever. Ribery was sort of non existent for the first 15 mins or so, and then only a shadow of himself later. France seem to tire very fast, they need to pep up or really control the game very efficiently, a tall order against Italy and Netherlands, who are their group opponents.
