The FAI (Ireland's ruling Soccer organization) has demanded a reply of their match in which they lost to France yesterday. All of this comes over more bad calls/non-calls by officials and has even been brought to light by a French player who was involved in the incident.Â

United welcome Everton to Old Trafford in the late kick off on Saturday in what, on paper, should be a fairly easy three points for Sir Alex Ferguson's side.

I mean no disrespect to Everton by this and on their day they're capable of beating anyone in the league but the fact of the matter is their injury list is huge and so many key players are missing.
