Adidas sponsor the World Cup, they sponsor France. Michel Platini has a lot of influence as well. Maybe we'd have had a better chance of going to the World Cup if it was sponsored by Umbro.
It's reminiscent of Maradona in 1986. We feel so cheated.

The Republic of Ireland team have been venting their disappointment and anger after Thierry Henry's controversial hand ball ended their World Cup dream.

What a crime !!
I recognize Republic of Ireland was the best team and that the French goal is not very fair nor very beautiful, but, actually, I saw R.Keane touching the ball with his hand three times and I didn't see him asking the referee for a sanction !! ...
So everybody should keep still !
By the way this French team won't go far during the World cup...

It's game on in the Premier League title race. Manchester City aren't invincible in England after all. And Chelsea have become a force again.

Bridge battle was a game that makes it all worthwhile

Have you ever wanted to quit your job and live the life of a football commentator instead? Being offered a prime seat at all the best games and not having to pay for it? Better still, someone is paying YOU to be there!
