The entire thing started because of some rubbish that was stirred up on some ridiculous Algerian day time show, and even then none of it was worth the hype.

The Egyptians lack sportsmanship it would have been a shame had they qualified, and to make matters worse the public masses didn't react as wisely as they should have.

They would spew poison all over forums fighting over who did what, when, where, and why, and how the referee was "supposedly" paid off on both games.

It was just absolutely shocking, and on the other hand the Irish played the game beautifully they totally battled it out that night, and in the end comes Thierry Henry and does that little double handball thing which secured them a victory simply because the referee blew the whistle and failed to see that deceitful little hand do that little number "the little loving tap".

But anyway shortly and surely and despite this blatant act of cheating people went on with their lives without blowing things out of proportion.
