I have avoided commenting on sports here from the beginning. It's a bit boring after all - you read so many daft comments on Yahoo! Sports pages. Having said that, I am going to allow myself a moan:
Whilst the Anelka goal against ROI in Dublin was a rub of the green as Given was helpless to cover the deflection, the Henry 'assist' tonight was a downright case of theft. As a (former) admirer of Henry I was disappointed to say the least. FIFA has got France through to South Africa (although their late decision to seed the playoffs didn't work for Russia) but FIFA are not doing themselves nor the game any favours. UEFA - and yes I am talking about smoke-filled rooms like it was with heavyweight boxing decades ago - made sure there was not a second, consecutive Man Utd - Chelsea Champions League final in May and in similar fashion if the French couldn't do it on their own - the FIFA big boys would help if the French could conjure up half a chance. Blatter and his up-coming successor (a French man) HAD to make sure the French qualified.
Job done, Messieurs, but you should hang your heads in shame.
Moan over.
