France’s controversial win over Ireland during a crucial world cup qualifying playoff has caused an uproar in both traditional and digital media.
The goal by French defender William Gallas was definitely valid, but it wouldn’t be possible without the set-up by well-known striker, Thierry Henry.
Unfortunately, he was seen using his hands before passing the ball towards the goalmouth.
Needless to say, Facebook has become the protest platform for unhappy Ireland fans while YouTube is flooded with videos of the handball incident.
More than 380 thousand fans (and still counting) have gathered on the fan page to pressure FIFA for a replay. Catch the incident below:
1. Henry’s handball

No replay regardless of strong protest
FIFA has ruled off any chances of a replay despite strong protests from football fans.
We wish the Irish luck in Euro 2012.
