Just thought I'd warn you in case you happen to have to play against him in any major sporting event.

| Because Henry is a dark skinned man, if you criticize him, you'd labelled a racist. Henry won't get the Maradona treatment. |

| What do you expect him to do? Just stop right there and tell the ref the ball made contact with his hand? If the ref doesn't blow the play down, you keep on playing. Not his fault. |

| That was pretty bad. I would like to see where the ref was. That should have been hard to miss. What was the ref thinking? That Henry controlled the ball with his *beep* or something? Soccer really needs video replays for contentious issues like this. |

Claimed not to have seen it, there was also an official on the sideline in perfect view of it who did not raise his flag to alert the ref to the foul.
The world cup qualifying is one never endless stream of bull$h*t to help the bigger nations. throughout the 2 year qualification process it had been agrred the the 8 teams who finished in 2nd place in their groups would go into an open draw to face each other for the four places available.
This was confirmed again at the start of september, however, germany, portugal and france were all struggling in their groups at the start of october so fifa, the football governing body, made up of mostly french and germans decided to seed the draw thus allowing the bigger nations to avoid each other.
Germany ended up qualifying automatically, france played us and Portugal played bosnia-herzigovnia and both teams have now sucessfully qualified.....disgusting football politics |

Despite lots of ribbing by the Irish, Welsh, Scots etc about Maradona's goal, I am gutted for you.
I've never liked the French, and I've never liked Henry, so this is a bitter pill to swallow! |

It would have been great for Ireland if we had of qualified, I remember the feeling in the country in 1994 and 2002 when we were in the world cup. We never expect to win it but people are just so happy to be the and everyone is relaxed, something we could certainly do with at the minute with the state of our economy.
I was only 2 at the 1986 world cup so obviously don't remember it, being the small country next to england means we must laugh and poke fun at your loss (not to mention the war). I like watching England play but I think it would kill me to see them winning the world cup, not because I don't think the players deserves it, it's just the media would never let it go, they still bang on about 1966 like it was yesterday and motson seems to always find a statistic about a game in 1966 when referring to England's games at big tournaments.
One thing that does annoy me about the English fans and the media is when they gang up on a player because they went out of the tournament (Pearce, southgate, seaman, Beckham, even ronaldo though he prob deserved it) |

Apparently FIFA or whoever, are thinking about putting a referee behind each goal. This is an excellent idea. Seeing as the NFL can employ about 20 referees a match I don't see why football can't get a couple more.
Good job Henry isn't in the English league anymore... he'd be getting chopped down even more than usual. |

They currently have assisstants behind the goals in Europa league matches. They have neither proved a success or a failure. The argument put forward by fifa is that technology is not needed and human error will always be a part of the game.
In NFL and tennis they limit the number of appeals compared to rugby where the referee goes to the video ref if there is any doubt. 3 appeals per team per game with an extra one should the game go to extra time would not slow down the game greatly and there are already an abundance of cameras covering the game anyway so the expense would not be great.
We might have went on to lose on penalties or perhaps France would have scored a legitimate goal but it's the way we lost that makes it sickening. |

The corruption involved in the 1966 world cup would make all of the recent FIFA corruption look like child's play. I also feel quite bad for the English team because the media keeps on yammering that they are a tier one world class team so anything less than a finals/semi-finals appearance is failure. The truth is the English is not a tier one team and never were. They are maybe, just maybe a tier two team so they should be happy if they make it out of their group or even get to the quarters. The English side simply isn't in the same category as Brasil, Argentina, Germany, Holland, Italy et al but their media expects them to be. It is simply unrealistic and asinine. Even most of my English friends agree with me on this and they are rabid football fans.
The next world cup for England will be another round of 16/(maybe) quarter finals appearance and once again, the media will be all over it as it was some colossal failure. With the competition in Europe, England should be happy to be there period. |
