I actually think European teams get a bit of a raw deal in terms of World cup qualification. Only 13 teams represented and one of them only because they are the holders. 5 teams qualify from Asia/Oceania. I don't think this is balanced. Some very good European teams have not qualified for the world cup because of the stringent and competitive qualifying process. Apart from Ireland, Russia, Turkey, Romania, Croatia and Sweden. All teams with good pedigree.
Back of standard tonight Henry says there should be a replay (cos he cheated )but thats easy to say now that the French and FIFA have said no. This is his way of getting himself off the hook i guess. Statement reads like it was written by a lawyer. Pfft.

And the Germans have just appealed against the 1966 result on the basis of the ball not being over the line. They have about as much chance of success.


I'm beginning to side with Roy Keane on the FAI. All this; please, its not fair, stuff is pathetic.

As Roy Keane quite rightly pointed out, when Ireland got the benefit of a VERY dubious penalty decision against Georgia, you didn't hear any calls from the FAI for a replay then, and it was that penalty which put Ireland through. So enough now please.

    • Well I did say I stand to be corrected! Fair enough, their website only seemed to list three branches. Perhaps it's a franchise model?  It's known as 'agglomeration' in economics Rookie error.
    • I didn't know there was a word for that — thanks!
    • This is just normal business behaviour. That's why there are so many coffee shops in ED and shops selling gifts and interiors stuff, clothes, restaurants.  If there's more than one business of a similar type then it can benefit all of them up to a saturation point and keep up quality. It's all sounding like many think Chango has made a malicious move when it actually sounds like it's owned by one guy who has a good business that has done well.   Anyway this is all great advertising for both empanada places. Very close by is the organic grocer who sells really good value and very tasty samosas and other Indian snacks which are also worth trying.
