France Soccer

The French national soccer team got an old fashioned whoopin’ in their second UEFA Euro 2008 game versus Netherlands.  France soccer lost to the Tangerine machine 4-1.  France took 2 more shots than Netherlands, but its opportunities were not strong and only 47% landed on net compared with 80% for the Dutch.  Henry netted the only French goal in the 71st minute to make the score 2-1, but Robben immediately answered for the Dutch the next minute.  Sneijder put it further out of reach in the 90th minute.  France still has a chance to move on, but Romania must lose to Netherlands, who is already into the quarterfinals.
