Ireland, Get Over It, You Are Out

The football world is still wondering how unlucky Ireland is for missing the World Cup qualifying spot. Some blame Henry for it; some say that the match should be replayed while some just point at the country’s lamentable luck.

The big question is what about Henry now? And will he get to participate in the World Cup? Again here there are differences of opinions, some say that he should be banned and some say he should be forgiven.

footballThe Irish FA had asked for the match to be played again. That request was rejected by FIFA. Then the Irish FA asked for a place in the World Cup anyways. Yes, they wanted to be the 33rd team in the competition. FIFA president Sepp Blatter obviously thought this was some kind of a joke and went public with the matter.

The Irish FA has now come with all guns blazing and is severely criticizing Blatter for singing about something that was supposed to be confidential. While the Irish FA are doing all they to make an appearance in the football’s greatest competition, Blatter is ignoring their calls and pretending that he cares about it by saying ‘Henry matter will be discussed’

The Irish are refusing to believe they are out of the tournament and are doing all they can to put themselves back in. Maybe they are publicly critiscing Henry and are hoping that people will do the same and the team will get a place due to the public outcry.

But that isn’t working so they are trashing Blatter and screaming about what a bad president he is. And now we wonder what will Ireland do next?

Ireland is embarrassing itself, they should get over it. Maybe few people think they should be in the World Cup (and most of them are Irish) but rest all think that France should be in, they will entertain more than couple of Irish players that no one has ever heard of.
