Faster Posted November 18, 2009 Report Share Posted November 18, 2009 If France qualify I'd love them to be in the same group as Argentina. Then we can find out who the worst manager in international football is! Domenech is not terrible, just past the point where he can be effective with France.

Olympian2004 Posted November 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2009 I think the Irish will get the last European ticket. They seem to have got the momentum now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Rols Posted November 18, 2009 Report Share Posted November 18, 2009 Will this be the end of Guus Hiddink's time in Russia? I'm very sad for him personally, too. He's such a nice guy and great manager. A rare blotch on his record. We'll take back Guus any time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olympian2004 Posted November 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2009 According to the FIFA matchcast, this is only the third time in World Cup history that a play-off goes into extra time: The first time was in 1949 between Yugoslavia and France, the second time in 1961 between Czechoslovakia and Scotland.

arwebb Posted November 18, 2009 Report Share Posted November 18, 2009 Anelka should have been booked for diving and France should be dead and buried by now. They are awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olympian2004 Posted November 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2009 Now the most exciting part of these World Cup play-offs is in progress, it can't be viewed on any German TV channel (maybe only on the Sky pay-TV channel). ARD prefers to show the summaries of the other play-offs first... That sucks big time! :angry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olympian2004 Posted November 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2009 Judging by the cries of the commentators on France Info (a French radio station), France has scored the 1-1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob2012 Posted November 18, 2009 Report Share Posted November 18, 2009 Two handballs and an offside. Shouldn't have been a goal. France doesn't deserve to win, and Ireland don't deserve to lose like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olympian2004 Posted November 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2009 Although I love France as a country -- but a victory is outrageously undeserved for their team, especially in such a fashion. Go Ireland!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted November 18, 2009 Report Share Posted November 18, 2009 That's a get the big team out of trouble decision if ever I've seen one. Scandalous. If that was the case then the referee would have given Anelka's penalty ..... which actually did look like a penalty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
