Ireland, stung by France's World Cup denial, launches sombrero-topped fiesta over Mexico win

Ever since Thierry Henry's unpunished hand ball helped deny Ireland its spot on soccer's grandest stage, Ireland has been awaiting its moment of retribution — and is cheering every misstep as France stumbles to the brink of World Cup failure.

Thursday night's 2-0 victory by Mexico over the French inspired Dubliners to don sombreros, down tequila shots and mull whether it's possible to construct a few Henry pinatas in time for France's final group match Tuesday against the World Cup hosts, South Africa.

Even commentators for the Irish state broadcasters RTE covering the France-Mexico match got in the mood, wearing their own sombreros — and wondering aloud why Ireland hadn't managed to defeat the disorganized French during last November's infamous home-and-away playoff.
