All hell has broken loose following France's beyond-controversial qualification for the World Cup at the expense of Ireland.
For anyone not following the footy, with both teams tied way deep in extra time, Thierry Henry, living-god-of-football, ex-Arsenal and current Barca striker, deliberately controlled the ball with his hand, passed it to his mate Gallas who went on to score -- thereby qualifying France and cheating Ireland out of their ticket to South Africa.
The Irish prime misnister has asked for a rematch, France's prime minister has told him not to mix politics and football. The Internet is going crazy with this, as are headline writers in both countries. The Sun's Hand Gaul is an instant classic if you ask me.
A couple of good ones out of France also:
La France était à 5 doigts d'être éliminée
