Football is about emotions. It creates the atmosphere! Few places in the world can compare with the atmosphere on Anfield Road. Especially one part of the stadium lives up to its reputation to host the most passion supporters in the world; it`s called the Kop. In the match where Liverpool played against Hull it was fully demonstrated.

After being cheeted by the France national team, Ireland should be qualified for the world qualifing final play in South Africa 2010. It`s not any shadow of doubt regarding Ireland`s soccer hereos. They played so well against France that they have to play in the World Cup Final play.

I burried my heart at Lansome Road in Dublin. I have never been there, but I wish I was. The Irish players are the last noble players in the World. They are fair player who play with their heart and for their beloved nation Ireland. The controversial match, that was played on Wednesday 18 November 2009, has caused a diplomatic storm after French forward Thierry Henry admitted to illegally using his hand to set-up the goal that gave his team a 2-1 aggregate victory to seal qualification to the tournament.

The Frence national player Thierry Henry was in desperation because the Irish national team played so well. So what he did, as his team mate also did; took the ball with his hand. Two players took the ball with their hands, and the Irish lost even they played much better than France in both matches. It`s because Ireland is a small country. Even they are better the referee and FIFA say French is going further...

It`s because it was a fake! Ireland was definitely the best team. FIFA can`t keep out one of the best teams in the world for the Finale World Cup play in South Africa 2010. Ireland was 2 - 3 times better than the France team, but was cheated by the "God`s hand" of the France player Thierry Henry.

Irish supporters still hope there is gonna be a new match. Even though the FIFA rejects Ireland's call for France rematch. There has to be a new match. How can Ireland be rejected after the fantastic play and the incredible atmoshphere from their supporters. I addition the French footballer Thierry Henry said that he supported a rematch against Ireland hours after FIFA officially ruled out the possibility of a replay of the controversial World Cup playoff game.

Ireland fantastic soccer team! All around the would football supporters support Ireland`s struggle for the world Cup final play in South Africa. They don`t like cheating, but FIFA rejected Ireland's request to replay its World Cup qualifier against France on Friday, while Thierry Henry said a rematch would be "the fairest solution" to resolve the furor over his extra-time hand ball that set up the deciding goal. Irleland is marching on!!!

A huge flag (roller) was rolled out on the Kop. It was just before kickoff in the match between Liverpool and Hull on 26th September 2009. I could feel the tension. So the Liverbirds on the Kop started to sing You`ll Never Walk Alone. Soon everybody on the stadium song along. It sounded so beautiful listen to the world`s biggest and best choir. Oh my god how the supporters could sing. It caused tears in my eyes and send shivers down my spine. Here I could really feel that I was a part of something big.

Liverbirds Moss was founded this date. Around 70 eager Liverpool supporters participated on the foundation meeting at Melløs Stadion in Moss. After the meeting they all went to the pub Fetter Anton in Moss to watch their favourite Liverpool play against Manchester United. What a game, and what a start for the local supporter club.

Liverpool is the city with the big heart. Its diverse, energetic and exciting. This city has really soul. Being in Liverpool makes me always happy. The people is exceptionally friendly, and the city itself is beautiful. So I was not suprised when the EU council declared the city of Liverpool as the European Capital of Culture in 2008.

In the sunset at mountain region Kvamsfjellet there were beautiful shining snow peaks all around. Especially the high mountain range Rondane was strongly illuminated in the sunset, and the colours were shifting. It created a fairytale atmosphere in the Easter. For Norwegians the Easter means snow, sun and fun!
