Honour is one of the best-known values in Japanese history to those in the West. Centuries after it became a central theme in Japanese culture, it is still considered to encompass honesty, courage, and respect. A person who behaved dishonourably was thought to have committed a very serious offence, one that could be punishable by death. The Samurai were judged the very essence of honour. Their way of life was a model for everyone else to follow. They were very loyal and well trained agents for various lords, Shoguns, and the Emperor. Their duties involved keeping peasants in line as well as fighting wars. In battle, they were among the most dangerous soldiers who have ever lived. Their discipline was without equal and could be relied upon in the gravest of situations.

I may be the only one that thinks this is the best result we probably could have got. I don’t think they had it in them to beat the French. This way we lost but we can blame it all on some one else. We don’t have to look into why we did shit against all the other teams, we don’t have to look into what we need to do to improve we can just blame it all on “the hand of frog”.
so you think if they didn’t cheat then they would have beaten Ireland on penalties – maybe we prefer the sympathy from others for being cheated by the frogs.
“What goes around comes around.”
Keane highlighted a controversial penalty that Ireland were awarded in a 2-1 win over Georgia in February.
“Ireland had their chances in the two games (against France), and they never took them,” he argued. “But it’s the usual FAI reaction – ‘we’ve been robbed, the honesty of the game…’
“There was one match against Georgia where Ireland got a penalty and it was one of the worst decisions I’ve ever seen which changed the whole course of the game.
“I don’t remember the FAI after the game saying we should give them a replay.”
Keane risked infuriating his compatriots further by suggesting that France’s crucial goal was as much the result of sloppy defending as of Henry’s handball.
“I’d be more annoyed with my defenders and my goalkeeper than Thierry Henry,” he said. “How can you let the ball bounce in your six-yard box? How can you let Thierry Henry get goal-side of you?
Thierry Henry denied Friday that he was a cheat but said the “fairest solution” would be to replay the France-Ireland World Cup playoff that was decided by his hand ball.
Henry set up the deciding goal for William Gallas by controlling the ball with his hand in Wednesday’s 1-1 draw at the Stade de France. The goal in extra time gave France a spot in next year’s World Cup with a 2-1 aggregate victory over Ireland after two legs of the playoffs.
“Of course the fairest solution would be to replay the game but it is not in my control,” Henry said in a a statement.
