This fiasco of handball goals and the Irish going out happend because of the fixed draw. France played the second game at home because of the fixed draw.
France and Slovenia were the only 2 countries to play the 2nd leg at home and go through.

Fifa changed the method of qualification process and Henry's handball is a direct result of their cheating. Everyone could see it happening and still it happened and now the French football federation won't offer the Irish a 3rd game even though they deserve it.

The fact is that it will be a much stronger French squad next year. With Ribery and Benzema fit for action. But this isn't football anymore and the Irish FA should at least get a monetary compensation for the highway robbery if not a 3rd match.

France are off my fair play list.
