Only thing I can think of is that it could take the excitement out of the home fans and give a bit of an advantage to France in that manner. Oh... and I guess if the pitch is a mess it could nullify France's advantage in technical skills. Plus it will make it tough on the goalies.
France is doing much better from what I'm reading about the match. How is it looking for you guys with Live feeds?
I don't have a live feed. I hope we see M'Vila and Giroud at some point in the second hald. M'Vila because he will help boss things in midfield, and Giroud because he will offer a direct goalscoring threat. Throwing on Ben Arfa might be useful too. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that Menez will keep his feelings under control and doesn't get a second yellow card.
Bummer of a loss for Ukraine, but they still have a chance to pull past the group stage... Of course, they'll be facing England (+ Wayne Rooney)....
Today is a good day. France won, I just made a deal at work, and I should be getting my paycheck within the next hour...
