Obviously Ireland got robbed but say the situation was reversed, and Ireland needed a late goal, would Robbie Keane have done the same thing? Probably. It sucks that Ireland got eliminated, I'm not a fan of the French and would have loved to see them not qualify, but this is part of the game. Things like this happen every WC it adds to the drama. Sucks if your team gets fucked but its good when you come out on top. Remember Michael Ballack chasing down Ovrebo after he missed two or three clear handballs in the CL last season? The Ref should be the bad guy, not Henry. Henry manned up and said he would support a replay, its just not written in the rules.

yeah but you know the only reason Henry said they should "replay" the game is cause he knew it wasn't gonna happen....

But at least he said it. They replayed UzbekistAn - Bahrain in 2001 but it was for different reasons (not sure why). I don't know, I consider it a dead issue. I'm looking forward to CL action, machday 5 is where it gets good. I'm going to be switching back and forth between inter barca and Lyon fiorentina. I hope fiorentna gets 3 points and knocks Liverpool out.

LMAO that's what underachieving ass benitez will get you.

So does Juve. And Bayern is playing like shit without Robben and Ribery, as well. I still hope they beat Juve next week tho :siccness:
yeah they looked really bad against Bordeaux. its almost a shame Del Piero is fit again because he doesn't fit into the 4-2-3-1 at all. Maybe he could play CAM but we have Diego for that. Melo started out good but looks tired now and is sloppy with the ball. we need to pick up a couple good defenders in January.

Bayern won't beat Juve at home. Juve is going to play a boring ass game and go for the draw. Ribery was the only threatening player Bayern had in first leg.

on a sidenote Bordeaux looks strong as fuck and I don't think anyone wants to see them in the first knockout round.

Yeah even in France everybody was thinkin Bordeaux will finish 3rd and go to Europa League but they really improved since last year. They lost 4-0 against Chelsea for the 1st game without playing and never got a chance after that. Now they really play well, they got a good coach (Laurent Blanc), not affraid against big clubs which was the main problem with french teams except Lyon. 13 points after 5 games is a big surprise. Let's see if they can do it in the final round, cause they mostly young players who never played some direct elimination games in Champions League, except Plasil who was in Monaco 2004...

I think Bordeaux is going to get picked apart for all their good players in the summer. chamakh and gourcouff for sure... and i could see blanc coaching a big club. they're a fun team to watch.

I saw yesterday that Aguero is set to join Chelsea in January. of course you never know if its true until you see them holding the jersey, does that mean Chelsea will win the premiership? Arsenal Chelsea game will be a good one tomorrow

Damn, France got lucky again. In a group with South Africa, Mexico, and Uruguay. Shouldn't be too difficult.

My prediction:

Group A: 1. France 2. Mexico
Group B: 1. Argentina 2. Nigeria
Group C: 1. England 2. Slovenia
Group D: 1. Germany 2. Serbia
Group E: 1. Holland 2. Denmark
Group F: 1. Italy 2. Slovakia
Group G: 1. Brazil 2. Ivory Coast
Group H: 1. Spain 2. Chile

Whoaaaa Bayern just scraped Juve 4:1. Best game by Bayern this year by far. They made Juve look like a 2nd division team lol. Once Ribery is back on track they might become a factor. Where you at Tim C hahaha
