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.
Ireland captain Robbie Keane has urged the team to become national heroes by beating France
in the World Cup play-off.
Giovanni Trapattoni's side host France at Croke Park on Saturday before Wednesday's return leg in
Paris.
"If you look on paper, they have got world-class players all over the pitch," said Keane.
In a decision sure to prompt anger in many European countries, European football's
governing body UEFA has confirmed that not only will the play-offs for the 2012 European
Championships be seeded — but the seeded teams will then be guaranteed home advantage in the
second leg.
The Irish Examiner has learned that FAI chief executive John Delaney has already written to UEFA to
express his concern about the plan.

O árbitro desse jogo, foi: Abbey tusen (Luxemburgo).
Isn't it typical, you wait all year for a horse story and then two come along at once. Like the
number 7 going up the Ormeau Road in Belfast, or whatever your local bus is that decides it's too
afraid to drive up a road on it's own so it'll wait for it's mate.
I'm still really sick, be prepapred for a hell of a lot more nonsense ahead.
The BBC have a wonderful little feature on Jonny Evans. [video link here] If you haven't watched
it I suggest you do.
Evans talks about his family's move to Manchester from Belfast, his relationship with the
manager and his team mates. There is some high praise from the likes of Giggs and Solskjaer.
