GW 2 Review

So France got through with a handball. I hand credit to the Irish for being hugely understanding of Henry, partly because they understood that action was common footballers' instinct and that they understood Henry was someone who was fired up by his loyalty and he is innately regarded a good guy in the football world.

His reputation may take a hit slightly but I think people should not be blasting him so much. Let him do the talking with his feet. I am eager to see him improve his game in all aspects and do his fervent fans proud.

And Singapore fought back with a win in Thailand. So as it stands, Singapore is back to 2nd with 6 points, 1 ahead of Thailand and 1 behind Iran who have a game in hand.

Shockingly, Russia did not make the World Cup. I am hugely in support of the French team sacking Raymond Domenech and hiring Guus Hiddink, to have a good chance of showing their worth of going through. And Henry needs to regain his confidence that he can really return to his heady heights with a vengeance and convince everyone. Me included.

Results (including aet if necessary):
France 1-1 Ireland (Scorers: William Gallas, Robbie Keane)
Ukraine 0-1 Greece (Scorer: Dimitripos Salpigidis)
Slovenia 1-0 Russia (Scorer: Zlatko Dedic)

Malaysia 1-3 Uzbekistan
Syria 0-0 Vietnam
Indonesia 1-1 Kuwait
