Hardly a thing about it here. Everyone going on about their lives - accepting that the best team won and that we don't really belong at the WC finals. Lashing rain, grey, dark and gloomy. Just another November Thursday really ....

1. Linesman - missed a BLATENT offside.
2. Linesman - missed a very obvious handball. The ball suddenly changed its traectory from going out over the line to heading accross and goal and the only thing nearby was Henrys hand. Hmmm I wonder what could have happened.
3. Ref - missed a very obvious handball. See #2. Even if he didn't see the contact, how did he think Henry changed the direction of the ball?
4. McShane - he let Henry round his back and obviously didn't know that he was there as he let the ball go.
5. Henry - for cheating.

Henry should be number one, without the cheat none of the others would be a problem.

I lost it a long time ago Sami that's wy I turned to the GAA for my sporting fix. I doubt I'll watch the World Cup at all now because it's been rigged ever since the seedings came out. A lot of my mates over here think England are screwed as well while Blatter is in charge, no way he'll let Engand win anything, I have to say I agree with them.

Without the missed offside then he never get's the opportunity to cheat.
