We wouldn't have been throwing everyone forward as much as we did, the players would have been less pissed off about having a clear goal dissallowed, and the half time talk woulda been completely different.
You're saying that we would have definitely lost no matter what, well a similar thing happened to your precious Ireland a few months ago. Would they still have definitely lost if Henry didn't handle the ball into the back of the net? No. Same thing here.

The best team got through, that's the reality here. They were opening you up at 0-0 nevermind 2-1, and that wouldn't have changed at 2-2. They thoroughly deserved their win.
The difference with the handball with Henry was the fact that we were outplaying the French, whereas you should have been about four goals down at that point. I don't see the point in making excuses for how badly you played out there.
