Republic of Ireland: How the players rated

Monday, 16 November 2009

Shay Given - 7
Made one top drawer save, but it turned out to be offside anyway. Commanded his area with as much authority as possible and needed clever judgement to avoid conceding penalties to Evra and Anelka. No chance of keeping out the Chelsea striker's deflected strike

Hello my friends,

I am so sorry for Ireland , Henry is dishonest , he should have told to the truth to the referee.

Cheating is bad , and for many french supporters or not ...there is a kind of illness beyond the people today ,who cannot accept Henry's hand.

Today I am ashamed to be french.
French football becomes as rotten as french politics ! .

I Hope Ireland and France will replay this match very soon , after agreement of F.I.F.A.

Good luck for this request.

François.

• If Chelsea can be the kings of Europe, so can England

One of the consequences of the late finish in Munich and the chaotic transport arrangements after the Champions League final was to force the ‘great and the good’ of the English football media to gather on a station platform near the Arena for a promised train to the city centre that, ultimately, never arrived.

• Billy on the Box: DD’s big pair puts on blue show in Bavaria

What an epic battle the Champions League Final turned out to be. A clash between an organisation with a long and distinguished history, respected by friend and foe alike up against a relative newcomer, the plaything of a foreign oligarch, who is universally viewed with raised eyebrows.
