    The difference is Ireland had 1 prima donna scumbag in the squad who thought he should be running the show. France on the other hand appear to have about half a dozen.

    Why scumbag? Do you know the guy personally or do you just have a problem with where he's from?

    At least he had the balls to speak up about the mickey mouse shambles of a set up over in saipan 8 years ago.
    Sure who else was going to?

    I don't think he should have insisted on going home but he had every right to blow the whistle on the FAI circus.

    Can someone do me up an equation that shows the longest an Irish soccer conversation can go on before it will inevitably end up back at the Saipan incident?

    In fairness it was a French journalist (though with some American connections as he has an American accent and says he's going to shout for USA now) on France 24 who brought it up this time. I don't 100% blame him, though, as the Irish journalist on it was being a bit annoying and sticking the boot in a little over the Paris match. Loads and loads more coverage on France 24 today. Of course, if there's one thing the French like to do it's to analyse things to death. I wouldn't fancy being a French player in France right now!

    ..i reckon domeneqck would have preferred an ireland replay looking back..

    last detail in domecqk's world cup...petty refusal to shake hands with world cup winning brazilian coach.... who had dared to suggest ireland france game was bad form......

    france hand ball... bad for france most of all

    France have a new coach.













    It has four wheels and it's took them to the airport a few hours ago.

    It was actually...

    Parriera; "So, how many goals did your team score in the World Cup this year?"

    There's more milage in this yet (ahem...)

    I'm disappointed that there hasn't been a single "French team fly coach home after disasterous World Cup campaign" headline - surely it was the obvious choice?

    Actually it went like this:
    Parreira: Good game. I know you've had a tough time of it lately but I wish you the best in all your future endeavours.


    You see, Domenech is just a príck.

    The England team will soon follow the French, and drop their manager off in Italy en route.

    There was media talk today that none of the french players will be permitted to wear the national shirt from now on and that the French are going to look for a completely new team from all over france in order to start to build up from scratch.

    Also the players were forced to fly 2nd class home as a punishment for their behaviour & there is a Sarkozy national enquiry to get to the bottom of exactly how the players and greater team behaved throughout all of this.

    They're under so much pressure already by the England fans another couple of million supporting them would definitely be last straw. Cue France-style meltdown. :D

    England are playing shíte. They'll probably win.

    I'd love to see them going a couple of goals down with 20 minutes to go. Wayne Ronney then gets thick and tries to break someones leg.

    Fair play to the English fans - they're the only ones so far to make themselves heard over the noise of the vuvuzelas.

    whilst i'm all for england, am surprised to see that, i prefer a bit of this

    'Bring me my bow of burning gold:
    Bring me my arrows of desire:
    Bring me my spear: O clouds, unfold!
    Bring me my chariot of fire!
    I will not cease from mental fight,
    Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand
    Till we have built Jerusalem
    In England's green and pleasant land'

    STE-VIE, STE-VIE

    The USA fans got in there as well in fairness. Something about that group. Maybe it's english speakers who can't stand the fecking things.
