...match would be the fairest way to rectify this situation. (Was he being genuine? Who cares?) It also goes for you, Irish soccer association, and all you heartbroken, angry Irish folk from County Mayo to Connaughton's Steakhouse in the Bronx. And it definitely goes for you, knee-jerk anti-French wise guys who still think it's hip to rip the French six years after Freedom Fries were neither hip nor funny. Do-overs belong in the fifth-grade schoolyard. A rematch for a global event like the World Cup could set a disastrous precedent for sports in general...
