No way. By any means, mait.

If I were Irish I wouldn't be satisfied till the French are stalled in
first round after a dubious, controversial penalty in the 93 minute of
the last match they play, commited by... Henry!.

Sorry my French friends.

Admittedly it was a border line case, some referees would have
awarded a penalty.
But it appeared the referee did not even notice it, he was looking at
the player who had been tripped down.

It was ofcourse partial "justice" (losing to China) , not full
justice as it happened only in a friendly!

The only thing to be sorry about is the disgraceful behavior of those who
deny, despite overwhelming evidence, that Given (the Irish goal keeper) took
Anelka down in the box minutes before Henry handled the ball:

Anybody is free to spin anything any which way they want, but the evidence
is what it is: Given cheated, then disgracefully gestured to the ref he
hadn't touched Anelka, then remained quiet while the Irish FA and the anglo
media made asses of themselves.

He was behind, so he wasn't able to see it.
In fact, I'm not sure anyone (except the chinese player)
noticed it.
