What a day! What a goal!

USA had the world against them, well at least FIFA refs (you know, the same group of guys that had it out for Ireland). Yet USA stood tall and with sheer determination they fought through and by the aid of Donovan's foot the break through came in the 91st minute.

Wow, my heart raced as I watched the goal blast in from 8 yards back. What a game goal that erased the two stolen goals by the refs. Which personally don't understand why FIFA won't follow hockey's foot steps with replays for goals. Common sense yet they like giving off the impression that there are conspiracies a foot.

Oh well, USA advances on top while France burned in flames. The Curse of Ireland did them in, dirty. Thank you Mexico and South Africa for utterly destroying France. Congrats to Mexico as well for advancing.

Lastly, have to also say congrats to South Korea for advancing. They were making me nervous... If you don't know why I'd be rooting for South Korea, well my fiancée (indeed, proposed last month) is Korean-American so that answers that very easily.

I part with the songs that were playing on my way to work.

We'll Fight For Uncle Sam.

Johnny Comes Marching Home.

Battle Cry of Freedom.

Army of the Free.

Some one had to... so share and share alike.

That should sum up my mood right now. Even if he was playing basketball he would've been called with traveling...

Anyone else outraged by his actions or worse his commenting on it please feel free to let FIFA know. I sent them this via http://www.fifa.com/contact/form.html

It is absolutely deplorable that FIFA deems it necessary to cover up the fact that Thierry Henry completely changed the course of the game via a blatant and intentional hand ball.
To not even mention that and to hide\delete comments by members is just a sad state of affairs.
Ireland was robbed hands down and it seems that FIFA and UEFA have no problems with this sort of behaviour.
Absolutely despicable. Any credibility that FIFA tried to hold on to is now more than gone.
I don't want a reply back and am done looking towards FIFA with hopes of fair play. The debacle that was 2006 World Cup and now this.

Yes, to make matters even worse FIFA and UEFA make zero mention of this incident although they did mention that Anelka was possibly fouled for a penalty kick. Seriously, I know FIFA has always had integrity issues but that's just getting batty.

To follow up I and I am quite sure others have posted comments on that article that it wasn't Gallas who broke Ireland's heart, it was Henry. Yet as you can clearly see all comments have been removed although the 1.2 star is still there.

Anyone interested here's some facebook groups:

• Thierry Henry should apologise to Ireland
• We Irish hate Thierry Henry (the cheat)

And Twitter info:

• #boycottgillette
• @thierry_henry

Finally the things that bother me the most are that Henry isn't sorry for what he did and FIFA isn't going to do anything substantial about it.

So, I've been working like a mofo at my place of business, TalentTrove, and been making some pretty sweet smut. For example, developed their forums, BackStage, Manage Media\Friends, Uploader, and on the backend a huge chunk on how things communicate with each other.

Anyways won't get into too much details since it's mostly nerdy stuff and the average person will end up wanting to punch me in the sack. Instead I'll just leave you with these links to one of our users, Superstar and Star:

• All Of We Are One Family
• I Am Dreaming
• Rolling So

As you can tell by going to any of those videos Superstar And Star is absolutely brilliant. Such good times... Alright it's back to work time.

This post is more of a place holder for another post to come. Here's a little preview:

#!/usr/bin/perl
$geeks = 1;
foreach(0..Inf) {
   $geeks++;
   $nerds = $geeks+1; # nerds > geeks ;)
}

So pretty much, Geeks aren't zeros and they only become better as time goes on infinitely. However Nerds are always 1 step ahead, thus Nerds > Geeks.

Completely unnecessary php dealing with Geeks and Nerds.
