Romania 0-0 France

Did they set up goals on the field in Zurich? All I know after checking the stats and following the game at work is that there was one shot on target between both teams. One. I'll let Grant Wahl tell you about it, it didn't sound like the most entertaining hour-and-a-half in the beautiful game's history. I agree with Grant in wondering why Thierry Henry was riding the pine for the full 90; he is one of the premier players in the world, right? Maybe he's not the absolute best as he was in 2004 or 2005, but dude can still play and finish. That might have been just what Les Bleus needed in this game, one that has to be seen as a Romanian moral victory after coming out a scoreless tie. Both teams have very, very interesting games coming up in this Group o' Death; hopefully they can actually, you know, shoot on goal, and try and push the ball forward when they suit up again on Friday.
