Like loads of other teams, England have dived to win penalties in World Cup finals, scored goals after handballs and so on. The only reason France got such a vitriolic reaction was because of the timing and the teams involved. (People hate France, Like Ireland).
Ireland got a mystifying penalty during their last group game for qualifying. Although it ultimately mattered for nothing, at the time it could well have been important in getting them to the play-offs. Keane was not touched, at all, but the ref thought he saw something (heaven knows what) and Ireland were more than to take it. It's only after they were the victims of an awful decision that it's suddenly a massive injustice which the cheating French should have admitted too. Like all teams, they are happy for decisions to go their way but aghast when it goes the opposite way.
Fair enough but the continued nastiness towards the French and the team is really getting ridiculous.

Domennach is hated by the French as well. He is a moron. Simple as that.
