I thought 6 minutes added time was very, very generous. I'm glad it was that long though because of that ending.

I agree. They came so close to getting a third too.

There was bad news for Holland and Arsenal, though, with Dutch striker Robin van Persie leaving the pitch nursing an injury just 16 minutes in.

Now this is a great reason to hate the international break. Our squad is ridiculously injury prone.

Security forces have been deployed to protect the Egyptian embassy in Algiers after Egyptian businesses in the Algerian capital were attacked.

The offices of Egypt Air and an Egyptian phone company were ransacked on Sunday during a rally in support of the Algerian football team.

Wow, most blatent handball ever. Poor Ireland.

Defiantly a Hand Ball. I did think it could have well been a penalty before though. Given got a hand on Anelka's ankle.

Cheating French b******s, what an absolute disgrace. Ireland have been so much the better side but should have put away at least one of the four clear chances they had in the second half.

Calm Down a bit. Sky Sports are quite on the Irish side here, that could easily been been a penalty to France and it wasn't given. While Sky pretty much say it was a dive.

Still this won't be a nice way for France to go though.

He even handled it again to push it to his feet.

What happened to you Thierry =(

Raymond Domenech needs to be fired. These performances won't get them past the group stage.
