Ireland vs France World Cup Controversy

[Euge]

haha that's funny!


all I'll say about the match is that it's put the undeserving team through, and it's just another world cup for them.

For us Irish it was our last big chance with our group of players (Given, Dunne, Keane, Duff etc.) and it'll be a long time before it happens again. Getting into the world cup would have been a huge economic boost in a time where it cant get any worse. And with the terrible flooding and people being left homeless and in financial ruin, it really hasn't been a good two weeks for the Irish...

Unbelievable. Cheating pays off, what a great message

Part of the reason why soccer will never be big here. It should be about skill, not the quality of your acting, crying, falling over, and hairdo...

I did try and give it a shot, but then we were cheated out of the last world cup...


At the very minimum soccer should have an appeal system like tennis (and now cricket), give em 2 appeals a match to check the video, you lose one if you were wrong.
90% of problems with the sport solved, and an end to overly fake diving as they're guaranteed to be appealed and caught out.

A small news, two days ago, Henri sayed he thinks the match should be replay.

[M4ST3R M1K3]

Yes after FIFA said it won't be replayed

henry sucks a lot...i thought he is different and a real sportsman, but he isn't

look at the former bad boy italian striker paolo di canio who showed real fair play in an important league match some years ago in england:

Paolo di Canio Fair Play

the situation happened in the 90th minute and the match ended 1-1.

of course its Henry fault but i think judge's fault is bigger. way of judging should have changed long time ago. whats a problem nowadays to have tv replays of controversial situations? one "fifa guy" should be sitting by the tv and when something like that happens he just should tell judge on headphones what happend and he would make a right decision.
