    yep its just not right, ur country is in though
  2. FAI asked FIFA for a re-match. Sillies. The President of FIFA is Michele Platini. No chance to succeed.
  3. Henry is just a moron..and Ireland is just bloody unfortunate.


  4. I don't think they are expecting to be granted a replay. I think its more a political thing. ie if they ask for a replay, FIFA have to come out and say "NO" and hence they will have egg on their faces and look foolish to the rest of the world.

    And the PLatini situation is even better as he will be seen to be biased. I hate him I really do.

    So I think its a case of put the cat amongst the pigeons more than anything.
  5. Not less than a year ban for Henry would do. If they can do it in F1 the FIFA could too. Never understood that this was tolerated. No wonder we see someone trying to score like that every week

    And yes a rematch is necessary.


  6. Would make themselves ridiculous. Anyway I know for which team i wont cheer if Holland doesnt make it to the final. (Which of course they do )

    France won't even make it to the quarter final... they're under an evil ancient Irish spell now, condemning them to lose every match for the next 4 years to come. At least

    and you do know that - unfortunately, my friend - Oranje will lose against Germany in the final. I'm sorry but it's meant to be

    No chance, we only need Van der Sar back and we won't give away a single goal or penalty
  10. I'd be happy about a semi final Holland vs Germany, as those matches are very often much better in quality and tension as the final then. And if both our teams deliver a great game, a truly great game (where my boys don't play crap as usual), then the better one of that night may win -- and get the cup

    but you know, if Italy makes it to the final, then Oranje needs to let us win, because we still need to kick their butts for the 2006 semi final desaster
