Arsenal err... France v. Slovenia [R]

[dwinkler]

In progress, France leading 4-0. Goals from Vieira, Wiltord, and Marlet (x2).

The first goal was pure Arsenal, a give-and-go from Vieira-Henry-Vieira, with Pat striking a first-time left-footer that beat the goalie short side. Sweet goal.

The second goal came on a great feed from Wiltord for an easy finish by Marlet.

Marlet scored the third, no other details yet.

Wiltord scored the fourth, no other details yet.

Final score 5-0, Sidney Govou adds the fifth late.

At least two goals and one assist for the Arsenal contingent that I know of. Didn't see details on the last three goals, so it might be more.

Hey - I only care about England! :p At least we still won 2-1, even though I don't think we deserved it.

Oh and we had more problems with racism. This time it was aimed at our Ashley Cole and unlike Arsenal, the FA has launched an official complaint to UEFA.

FA lodges complaint over Cole abuse

The FA has complained to Uefa over racist abuse levelled at Arsenal's Ashley Cole and Liverpool man Emile Heskey in Slovakia.
England coach Sven Goran Eriksson led the complaints after the 2-1 win in Bratislava which saw both Cole and Heskey racially abused by a sizeable section of the crowd.
"Things like that should not be possible in 2002. It was awful and shouldn't happen," declared Eriksson.
"I know all about it as I came from a club (Lazio) that had that problem and it was difficult to eradicate."
The Football Association has lodged a complaint with Uefa about the chanting after four English clubs including Arsenal were also targeted in such a way in European competition.
FA spokesman Paul Newman added: "We have objected in the strongest possible terms to Uefa about the racial chanting directed at England players.
"Emile Heskey was particularly singled out and Ashley Cole was also targeted at times - both in a way that was consistent throughout the game and was clearly offensive."
