No, I think their subsequent WC campaign was more than enough closure for me anyway.
No closure yet, that hand ball goal didn't hurt the French enough.

Yeah, I'll never forget how pathetic some of them looked, wrapped up like old men at the park as they lost to Mexico. It was hard to hold on to the resentment after that, or the general squad implosion at South Africa. A well deserved car crash of a campaign.

For someone who doesn't have closure that hand ball was not enough.Finally some closure
I couldn't care less myself and I doubt if Joe does either, apart from a reference to irony.
I was being sarcastic when I said that, of course a handball in a friendly isn't going to be closure for somebody who is still hung up about Thierry. It never bothered me in the first place, it bothered me that we were knocked out, but the identity of the villain or opposition wasn't really a factor. That said, I never particularly liked Henry anyway and that French side didn't float my boat either, but that predated Paris and the events that night didn't heighten my dislike.
I know you were, and so was I.
Closed thread.
