I'm part Irish, I've got a lot of roots in Irelanda nd I'd love to see Ireland get into the Cup. I wouldn't have a problem if France had won fairly, but Ireland were outplaying them tremendously. And yes, handballs happen, thats unavoidable... but in THAT situation? Come on mate, that's just ridiculoous!
* And the fact NONE of the linesmen/officials saw it? Are yo u****ing kidding me? The ball was blatantly rolling out of boundary, there was no possible way they couldn't have seen it unless they weren't watching the game at all. It makes yo uwonder, is this all set up??? Do you know how much that win would of meant for Ireland, but no, cheated out of it and France gets the glory. Oh the nerve on Henri, yeah he can say he's sorry for it now but his face when he scored that wasn't showing any shame, the little wanker. Just gets me so frustrated.

It wasn't France, it wasn't the French, it wasn't the other 10 men.
In fact, such is the underdog mentality that Irish football fans have of their team that if Keane had done what Henry did, you'd be saying shit all right now.
I saw the game AFTER, not live, and I was expecting Henry to do some kind of Shaq o' Neal shit with the way the press were going on. It was probably deliberate, but it was reflexively deliberate. I doubt there was much malicious intent as people claim.
Look, I'm not saying it was right. Henry has used theatrics before. I just think that people saying he's tarnished his career are talking shit. Steven Gerrard is probably regarded as a hero to you, despite the fact that there are YouTube compilation videos of his dives, including the one from the 2005 Champions' League final. The one that got you a penalty to draw level. Had you not achieved that, you may not have even won that match.
Yes but with dives it can sometimes look like the player was actually shoved to the ground because of the pace of the game, I'm not condoning diving but I'm merely saying it'd harder to come to a real dive call
this was a BLATANT handball, EVERYONE saw it, how the hell did the referees OR linesmen not see this??? If you ask me, there's something more going on, I've never liked FIFA and i think they're playing a very dangerous game right now.

Exactly, there's little reasons for a sport like football where one wrong referee decision can be a huge game changer not to implement some sort of technological help in this age.
To damn the whole country of France as dirty cheaters because of a split second bad decision / natural reflex action by Henry is rather silly imo.
The refereeing system is totally pathetic, thatīs where you should look for the mistakes.
As for all this "oh Gerrard dived then" and "so and so hand balled a ball there" business is beside the point. France are participating in the world cup at the cost of Ireland due to a mistake in the system which allows people to cheat, intentionally or not.
Donīt know if its been mentioned in the UK news, but there is a new football betting scandal raising its head on the horizon. At a news conference the prosecutors said that about 200 games were thought to be affected, including three Champions League games and 12 Europa League games.

but still reppin naija
France arent dirty anything. These kind of problems clearly arise from the refs and the rules as put any other player in henrys situation and they would have done th eexact same thing.

On another point . I noticed thereīs hardly any "typical" French people in the team, the players are nearly all of African origin. Not trying to be racist in any way, just wondering why.
Are the big nosed garlic eating onions around the neck cycling French types too busy playing boules or lost interest in football?
