Henry sure is handy to have around the goal.  After the headbutt of '06 it is only fitting France goes to South Africa and brings controversy with her.

I think Team USA got drugged by cheating Danes during halftime.

an idiot referee.

The Handball was hard to spot in real time...but I have no idea how they missed the offsides.  I mean how obvious does it have to be?

Cash sometimes makes the obvious seem less obvious :D

Maybe more like the gulag, if the country is not represented, it is an irrelevant country  :lol:

Pfft, even represented countries are irrelevant.

e.g. Hungary

I hope the IRA will begin attacking French and FIFA targets.

Don't know about the IRA, but the FAI (Football Association of Ireland, I'm guessing) is asking FIFA to replay the game. I doubt that would happen.

Yeah it's very unlikely FIFA will allow for a replay of the game.

The only chance for it to happen would be if the French football association asked FIFA for a replay too but I highly doubt they would.

It would be awesome if the French did, and maybe smart too. The world is going to consider them tainted this world cup.
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

There's a fine line between salvation and drinking poison in the jungle.

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

Yeah.  I'm of course going to be rooting for the U.S., though I know it's hopeless, but now I know who I'm going to root against.

Are there other examples of unwritten rules in footy?

If the final is France and Italy again, what do you do?

Not sure.  On the one hand (ha ha) I can understand the bitching about the ref missing an important call.  But on the other hand people are pissing on France too.  It seems like there might be an unwritten rule that France is supposed to do something to make up for the missed call.

There isn't.  That's just outrage and wishful thinking.
