They showed the press conference on the news - Sepp Blatter with a big grin on his face saying we had "humbly" asked could we be the 33rd team and the gathered press pack bursting into laughter.

So what? How many of the press pack had their country dumped out of the WC by a handball?
Controversial incidents happen in football, fair enough. But any player can control a ball with his hand and set up his teammate for a tap in. The reason any player doesn't do it, is because it is illegal.
I was at the game. There were 5 offences in that passage of play, 5 injustices that referees/linesmen at the highest level of the game are trained to spot and act upon. The fact that none of them were is unforgiveable. So no, I won't "get over" it. We'll still be complaining about it for years and years to come, as we have every right to do.
