Going into the game between the two sides, it was believed that France would go on and walk all over England.
However, that was not the case in the game. Early on, England seemed to be playing some of the best football they had played in an international competition for quite some time.
At the same time, despite France seemingly keeping more possession, England seemed to be far more effective on the ball.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Joleon-Lescott-c18941 opened the scoring in the game, as he helped England take a one goal to nil lead early on.
The lead was cut down by http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Samir-Nasri-c32360, who scored from outside the box. The Manchester City midfielder, beat his club teammate, with a low shot.
The shot was rather tame, but with Hart being blocked from viewing the ball, he couldn’t do much to keep it out.
When talking about the game and the way that England played in it, Hart is reported to have said: "I think we showed a resilience which you're always going to get"
"You can question the team, say whatever you want, but you're always going to get belief, pride - people proud to play for their country - and quality.”
"I think people forget we're England, and we're a good side. The first 25 minutes they weren't ready for us - they weren't ready for what we brought to the equation."
He then went on to talk about Nasri and just how his shot went on to beat him. Hart insisted that he had the shot covered, but it ended up beating him in the end.
Instead of making any excuses, the keeper went on to admit to this and now expects to move on and perform even better in the coming games.
"Samir is a clever player," Hart added. "I thought we dropped off a little bit to how we started. It's a bit hard and heavy for a lot of people.”
"It beat me, simple as that. It's a good goal, we've just got to concentrate on the good performance."
