I have a feeling the Irish national team is having a good laugh right about now. For those that were not paying attention to the pre cup qualifiers, the Irish team got screwed by an obvious hand ball by Henry that led to the goal that pushed the Irish team out of the world cup.
Heres the handball

With that in mind, fast foward to this weekends events. First Nicolas Analka (stud foward) was dismissed from the team, for a shouting match w/ their coach at halftime on Friday. Then durring a Saturday training session, first their trainer quits. Then their managing director quits, lol! The team goes back to their bus without conducting their schedulled workout.
This meltdown could not have happened to a more deserving group of cheese sniffers.
Heres the only video I could find. Sorry, but its in French. But, you dont need to understand the comentary to follow along.

It sucked what happened to the Irish team in the qualifer, but this should ease the sting a bit ;D
