...Or at least if you had just read the reactions from the fans and trigger-happy journalists,
you'd think this is what Henry had actually done:
On a serious note, the 'victims' the Irish team have been refreshingly objective about the
situation and have laid the blame squarely on the horrible refereeing and to a much lesser extent
on their own poor finishing as the real reasons why the French and not the Irish are headed to
South Africa.

The "Football earthquake" is still causing tremors after REAL MADRID waseliminated by 2ºB Division
(3ºrd Division elsewhere) team ALCORCONin the SPANISH CUP. The Spanish Football Goliath was stoned
"dead"by one of Spanish Football's David with a 4-0 victory at home & onlylost 0-1 at Real Madrid's
home ground "Santiago Bernabeu" to win thethe elimination phase with a 4-1 aggregate.

This is a David vs. Goliath battle, but then again, we all know who came up on top in that
one.
Manchester United have been handed a fairly easy fixture to kick-start their
Premier League campaign, and should ease their way to the three points.
However, even a draw at Old Trafford will result in a few raised eyebrows
pointing towards Real Madrid and Manchester City – the two
clubs that drained two superstars from Sir Alex Ferguson's side Cristiano
Ronaldo and Carlos Tevez.
In a game that marked Arsene Wengers 500th match in charge, I feel its important to mention
that of those 500 games under Wenger,we have lost only 80. Thats an incredible percentage for a
manager that seems to come under constant criticism, even from some sections of his own
supporters...
Kristian Dyer over at ESPN makes an excellent case for Richie
Williams, who is playing the David role against an Austrian Goliath as he tries to fight
for and secure a position as the permanent head coach of the Red Bulls squad.
And there is a lot of reason why the fans and players are pulling for the explosive, diminutive
coach.
Gold Coast vs Brisbane at Skilled Park. Well it sounded good, and I pretended it was a Christmas
present to myself, Dawn and Jacob.
How could one resist it? Boxing Day afternoon and it's the first highly accessible 'away game' for
the Brisbane Roar, hence the first away game I have attended.
