A sort win vs Costa Rica, a tie vs Tunisia, a good defeat vs China. Then crawling miserably to the second round with 2D, 1W even with 1D, 1L, 1W, then increase in 1/8 and 1/4 with 2 1-0 win, a miracle in 1/2 with a PK win after extra time and the cherry on the cake, the final where C.Ron headbutts Gourcuff, and we win 1-0 vs Portugal .

France's problem is to get through the group stage. After that their uber timid style can annoy and upset anyone. Anyone still rememer France - Spain in '06?

Yeah, but what happens if Portugal fail to reach the Final? What if it's Argentina, and Ribery stomps on Mascherano (for lack of Lisandro)? Buh-bye WC then! -- No, no, you can't e-mail me with the nono.

Could be, although I still had a tiny doubt if Given actually made Anelka fall. But the hand of Henry was blatantly politically incorrect, whereas the penalty by Given, not called, was kind of part of the game. A sort of common mistake by the ref. JV

A sort of > common mistake by the ref. The ref not calling the pk is another issue entirely. I am only talking about the hollier-than-thou attitude of some Irish who had the gall to ask for a replay when the Irish team cheated first, and the outrageous witch-hunt against Henry and the French in a media that didn't even bother to do it's job (note that I am being nice in assuming that it wasn't deliberate manipulation of the public), and the sheepish fans who gobble-up everything that is spoon fed to them. BTW, what was Henry suposed to do? bend over, grab his ankles and take it like a man?
