Football World Cup South Africa 2010
I know I know I'm 8 months early!
BUT Ireland play France in the first leg of their play-off tomorrow night and I want a thread to shout and cheer in, when we win, and then hold them to a boring goalless draw in France on Wednesday!

Thanks for the commiserations, Stevie.
Ireland won the ninety minute game 0-1, which meant extra time and if the score stayed the same after the extra 30 minutes, a penalty shoot-out.
France scored after about thirteen minutes.
The nature of the goal was...well, their best player Thierry Henry blatantly cheated to set it up! Not accidental handball, but accidental followed by blatant handball.
So, though we lost the game, we won the moral victory! I can't wait to see the backpage headlines today. I hope Henry is treated like a pariah (to think, he was one of my favourite players, before this)! Though he did look contrite after the game (17 minutes too late!)
And here it is:

Am not a fan of the Republic, but I felt their pain last night.
Henry should get a hefty ban for that blatant piece of cheating.
However, I'm sure Michel Platini will bail him out.
Another victory for the "big" team.

More bad news today. Well, not today exactly, but I realised today that the missus will be out of country for the World Cup.
Why is that bad news? I can now watch any game I want whenever I want without having to worry about anything. Except, she being South Korean, we normally go out and find a pub where there'll be some SKs watching their matches (plenty around, lots of language schools here).
South Koreans are the best fans to watch football with. They'll start off shy and reserved, but with a tiny bit of encouragement, once the match starts, they go NUTS!
I suppose I could still do it, but I'd feel a bit of a fraud.
This sort of thing!
