Is that the same Ireland where the economy went into recession thanks to Henry's hand?

Well FIFA did pay them off so they would keep their mouth shut about that one.

I really don't understand that. Are they saying the referee purposely ignored the handball so the French would qualify (so more big stars at the work cup)?

No. But after the fact Ireland could have appealed and held up the whole process. Ireland took a payoff in exchange for waiving their appeal rights.

They could probably appeal the whole game. Because such an important match was decided on a terrible call, they could call for a rematch. Just spitballing here.

Nope, referee gave the goal, the only thing Ireland could do is bitch and moan and write an angry letter to FIFA about the incompetence of the officiating staff.

quote:

Both Russia and Qatar have vehemently denied there was anything irregular in their selection in the face of competition from rival bidders such as England and the United States.

Swiss investigators have multiple lines of inquiry to pursue in connection with the Qatar 2022 award. However, evidence related to the 2018 Moscow World Cup award is proving difficult to find, the source said.

FIFA disclosed in November that the Russian computers used in the nation's successful bid had been destroyed and it was therefore very difficult to track down documents.

I do know that. That doesn't stop Ireland from demanding it and whining. It was hush money so Ireland would shut the gently caress up about it.

It would be funny to see him show up and then be taken to the border by horseback to be dumped on US soil. Bunch of beavers flipping him off as someone who has never watched a soccer game takes him into custody.

He's gotten booed at pretty much every event he's attended in the last five years, he really doesn't give a poo poo about that.

Extradition, on the other hand.
