France Soccer

France tied Romania 0-0 in the opener of the UEFA Euro 2008 soccer championship.  The tie puts France in a tough position with Netherlands trouncing Italy 3-0 in Group C play.  The game was largely dull with neither keeper playing much of a role in the outcome.  Patrick Vieira and Thierry Henry both sat out the game for France, which clearly put France in a different position than it would have liked.  France will surely need to draw points in their match-up with Netherlands on Friday.
