US in a decent group. That opening match with England will be a tough one...

No it won't....

Did they settle that handball in the france game and let both teams in? There was talk of them doing that a few days ago. Love me some world cup.

HELL no...

We shall never hear the end of this from the Irish.

There is no group of death this year. It might have been F if Portugal had beend drawn

North Korea is a wild card which could make G interesting.

G is definately the group of death - the Ivory coast is a brilliant team with one of the world's best strikers. Possibly THE best if you're playing one-up-front. North Korea is going down. You know the state TV in North Korea will not be showing any games in which their team loses they wont be seeing many games over there...

Can you blame them for complaining? Henry may as well have just picked up the ball and thrown it into the goal.

I'm sure you meant Maradona should of picked up the ball and thrown it into the goal. ^_^

The Henry incident was an unfortunate one and the Irish I'm sure feel cheated. However, I've seen more blatant handballs go unpunished and there is no backlash of this magnitude against a player.

Edit: Just call it the limb of god and be done with it

Well yeah, I know Henry didn't score the goal, but his handball directly resulted in the goal.

Uh, how many handballs have you seen that deep in the goalie box and how many blatant handballs led directly to a goal being scored? More imporantly how many have you seen in such an important match? Are you French?
