Can't find who will be broadcasting, but given recent events this is sure to be a well-covered and emotional match, complete with Olympic-level security.

This is obviously not the place to discuss other things, but I'll be shocked if the Wembley crowd isn't as loud and supportive for France as any visiting "rival", ever. i hope someone has the good sense to print up phonetic lyric sheets for the national anthem.

We all believe our own national anthem is the best - wherever we are from - but if you were to vote for your 2nd favourite I'd bet 'La Marseillaise would come top.
It's likely to be an extremely emotional occasion tomorrow evening and I'm sure all England fans will happily join in as best they can when the time comes to sing the anthem.
England & France are two countries with a history of bloody conflict stretching back centuries - just two weeks ago was the 600th anniversary of the Battle of Agincourt - but if ever there was a time to show our solidarity and support, it is now.
The game itself is an irrelevance but that's not the point of tomorrow.

There was evidence for an upcoming attack in Hannover, so the game was suspended 90mins before start.
A few thousand fans were already in the arena, teams were just coming to the entry and turned around without leaving the bus. Angela Merkel also went off, obviously.

No Marseillaise coming from Germany...
