The match was in November 2009 in the football world for outrage worried. In the extension of the French defender William Gallas scored the equalizer for 1: 1 – and thus secured his participation in the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, while Ireland flew out of the competition. However, the results led striker Thierry Henry irregularly with a hand game, he candidly admitted later. Ireland submitted angry protest against the wrong decision of the Swedish referee Martin Hansson a.

He was Fifa president Sepp Blatter threatened with a lawsuit, there should be no compensation – either by a special World Cup ticket for the Irish national team, or financial compensation, Association boss Delaney told the radio station RTE. Thereupon Blatter had mocked publicly about the Irish debt, but behind the scenes secretly quickly offered a financial agreement.

The Fifa announced to with the former Referee decision was final, which had the Irish Football Association FAI also accepted. To put the complaints but one end, an agreement had been concluded. “The Fifa granted FAI a loan over five million dollars for the construction of a stadium in Ireland.” The Uefa have provided for the same financial arena, the international football association continued.
