How can you predict what England's performance against France is gonna be like from a meaningless friendly?

I think England will do well against France, if they play to their strengths and potential. If Sven plays his negative long-ball game then England are f**ked and might as well not bother turning up...

You just know that if England do well in the tournament, the press are gonna blow it up out of all proportion to simply rip them down when it all goes wrong...
