FAI admit 'defeat' over calls for France replay
Ireland have been forced to admit defeat in their efforts to be granted a replay of their
World Cup play-off clash with France.
Having seen FIFA reject their appeals to have the second leg of the tie replayed because of Thierry
Henry's handball in the run-up to William Gallas' decisive goal, the Football Association of
Ireland, backed by both French skipper Henry and Ireland captain Robbie Keane, had turned to the
French Football Federation.
