C'mon Uruguay!

[Closed Account 2]

He is a cheating so and so and I hope that they finish bottom of their group, not just because of the handball but because they are not great to watch and Mexico, South Africa and even Uruguay offer more in terms of fluid play (Mexico) excitement / unpredictability (South Africa) and attacking potentcy (if supplied) (Uruguay).

The French seem to be at war with themselves a la the Dutch in the mid 1990s, they also look like a team that think they can just show up and go far but with no Zizou I dont think it can happen...

Can't believe people are still going on about the handball, long forgotten for me anyways, there's no guarantee we'd have even won that match, if we took our chances we'd be through

You'd better get over it then. They'll still be talking about this in 50 years time. So what?

i think your over exagerating it there and the sooner it dies the better imo,bitter **** dump crap and blah.grow feckn up

[boovidge]

I'd like to "grow up" and put the defeat behind me, and, up until I watched the game I thought I'd done so. However, seeing the French team brought back the memories of last November and the anger came back.

[bullit]

so grow up and grow some big oul nodgers and move on, we have become a nation of criers that ring radio phone-in shows to vent our frustrations. we aint in it!!!! but otherwise....enjoy

[ArdeeBhoy]

The ould nogers are fine. Just some people there that night won't forget, will probably be with us in 50 years time, so come back around 2060 and ask them so??
Anyway what are you doing up so late after a school day??
Lol.

France v Uruguay was the worst game I've been at since I watched Athlone Town draw 0-0 with Home farm in a cup game aout 15 years ago, dreadful stuff.

[gustavo]

Sorry, i'll just wish Henry the worst, and hope France win the world cup... happy now?

Yes !

[clovis]

Hi, I am french and I am ashamed since the elimination of Ireland by a cheating team.
It will do no good for Ireland but I really wish this french team will be eliminated soon. The match against Uruguay was a good boring start ! I usually support my national team but not this time.
Long life Ireland.

Anyone else find the people who have been constantly harping on for the past week about being "so over" Henry-gate a tad, well, obsessed? If you're over it, please stop telling the rest of us who want to wallow in self-pity and bitterness for a while longer. We're football fans after all.

It's the World Cup of monotonous drones ain't it?

Personally, I've reached the last stage of giving a s**t, which I would label 'vindictiveness'. I hope France fail and luck deserts them.

Come July, when all teams are back on level footing and looking toward 2012, I'll be 'over it' but will feel no obligation to tell others to follow suit at every available opportunity.

The media-driven and FAI-driven bitchfest about Henry’s cheating is frankly embarrassing. He cheated and got away with it. If Robbie Keane had done it for us I’d be delighted. Duff dived for a pen against Spain in 2002 and we got over it quick enough. We are as bad as the English still going on about the Hand of God even after Owen evened up the scores with his dive in 2002.

That said… I hate Henry for cheating us and for being a two-faced ***** who cultivated a holier-than-thou attitude thru his career. I’d like to see France do badly, but then I’d always like to see France do badly.
