Algeria booked a first trip to the World Cup in 24 years by beating Egypt 1-0 in a tense play-off in Sudan.

Pity about Egypt, would have liked to have seen them play in SA again! Well done to Algeria, 24 years is a long time to wait!

FULL-TIME France 0-1 Ireland (agg 1-1) EXTRA TIME

I just watched the Portugal-Bosnia game. So dissapointed.

Yeah, it could have been worst for Bosnia, there were a lot of occasions for Portugal to score, but at the end it was enough.

What I think was disappointing was the lack of fair play from the Bosnian adepts and authorities, with all the incidents that occurred at the airport and the throwing of objects to the field...

Anyway, it's over. Qualified. :fun:

Internationally, Spain is my team. I just read in the online Spanish newspaper that I frequent, that Ireland got robbed of the qualification in extra time by France. Apparently, not only was Henry offside, but he then managed to control the ball with his hand and made the assistance for the winning goal. LOL, That is just crazy! And completely unacceptable... It sucks for Robbie and his team.

It's also disappointing that the Russian and Ukrainian squads didn't qualify. I'm glad that Portugal did, though. Woohoo! Can't wait for the WC!!!

Looking forward to Michel Platini's reaction...

Oh, and Rappy, this thread won't be as good as my World Cup 2006 cracker ;)

What makes you think Platini is going to have a reaction?

I wanted to laugh at Ireland going out but i'm seriously angry at how France won and feel sorry for the Irish :(

That's the reality. Bad decisions on the ref's part comes with the football. That doesn't make it any less unfortunate and disappointing, though, especially not when the qualification for an event to which you work and have to wait four years for to participate in is snatched from you. :(

Pff... a shame... blabla... WTF?... Fairplay...

Memory is a powerful thing, Keane seems to have none.

As with Ronaldo and Drogba, the difference is Keane hasn't made a career out of being a cheating piece of slime, not to mention the award was by the referee. In Keane's defense he neither dived, nor claimed a penalty in that incident so I don't really see what that was meant to prove

Everyone says Henry should have owned up right away, so the goal would have been disallowed. Hardly anyone would do that. Henry didn't, Keane didn't in that clip, a defender who tackles someone in the box illegally wouldn't, a keeper who catches a ball when it's already over the line wouldn't.

Everyone cheats.

The Irish are just crying and whining. Roy Keane put it best.

"If I'd been there in the dressing room after the game, I wouldn't be talking about the handball. I'd focus on why the defenders didn't clear it. They should've cleared it."

...Keane pointed out that controversial decisions went Ireland's way in the qualifying campaign, not least a harsh penalty award against Georgia which helped them to clinch a 2-1 qualifying win in February.

"There was one match against Georgia where Ireland got a penalty and it was one of the worst decisions I've ever seen which changed the whole course of the game.

"I don't remember the FAI after the game saying we should give them a replay.

Again, you are failing to spot the difference between being awarded a Penalty that you didn't appeal for, or dive for, and deliberately using your hand to control the ball, a blatant and deliberate act of cheating.

Yep, the penalty in the Keane incident was a poor decision, but as the only person I can ever recall owning up to not being fowled was Robbie Fowler, I wouldn't have expected Keane to own up, but it is clear that Henry deliberately cheated, and Keane's incident was just a case of poor refereeing.

    • Still using Classic Outlook? Microsoft highlights 15 reasons to switch to New Outlook by Usama Jawad As many of you may know, Microsoft has been trying to get customers to ditch Classic Outlook in favor of New Outlook for quite some time now. To that end, it has added numerous capabilities to the latter, including PST features, and it is working on several more, such as a unified inbox. However, customer response has been a bit lukewarm so far, with many considering the New Outlook to be "hot garbage". Now, Microsoft has highlighted 15 features that users can leverage in New Outlook in yet another attempt to get customers to migrate. Although not all of the 15 capabilities are exclusive to New Outlook, in fact, most of them are available in Classic Outlook as well. But Microsoft hopes that this combination of familiar and fresh features will be able to attract existing users as well as new ones. For ease of readability, we have summarized the 15 features below: Pin an email: This makes it easier to track important emails Snooze an email: You can temporarily snooze an email thread for a specific time frame until it becomes relevant again. This can be very useful in scenarios where you don't feel like actively following a thread or simply want to follow up on a later date Add multiple categories at the same time: You can assign multiple categories to an email through a single, simplified interface Sweep: As the name implies, you can define automated move processes on your inbox to declutter it, rather than cleaning it up manually Schedule send: Does exactly what it says on the tin, and can be useful when accommodating recipients in different timezones Simplified folder sharing: The sharing process has been simplified so permissions are automatically applied on parent folders Follow a meeting: This is an RSVP option that lets people know that you won't be able to join the meeting but would still like to access a recap Save calendar views: You can save different views for the calendar based on different workflows Improved meeting tracking: Organizers have more controls in viewing meeting responses, such as the ability to sort and download them. Typically useful when there is a large audience Meeting recap: The Outlook Calendar surfaces a meeting recap with recordings, transcripts, and shared files Filtered views: Allows you to declutter your Calendar so that it's easier to scan and schedule Change a recurring event: Users can modify future events of a series of meetings while preserving the configuration of previous ones Rename your email account: This labeling makes it easier to identify multiple accounts in Outlook Modern themes: Exactly what the name says, plus Dark Mode Keyboard shortcuts: This facilitates flexible user behavior as customers can choose between Outlook for Windows shortcuts, Outlook for the web, or turn them off completely There you have it. It's a decent list, but it remains to be seen if it will move the needle in a meaningful way for users who are attached to Classic Outlook. Again, a lot of the aforementioned features are already available in Outlook Classic, but for some, native functionality is not present, and people typically resort to workarounds. Microsoft will be hoping that it's primarily those capabilities that get people to finally switch.
