I know most people here are from the US and dont care about football but this has to be shown.
Tonight the 2nd play off game between Ireland and France was played.
Ireland was the better team in the first game but failed to use their chances and lost 0-1.
Tonight they again where the better team and where leading after 90 min with 0-1.
They played 2 good games only to lose by such a disgracefull foul in the end.

2 things non of the referees saw. 1 french player off side during the long pas and Henry making a handball to prevent the ball from going behind the line and get it under control.
For years people have been demanding the use of camera footage and for years the Uefa and Fifa have been ignoring these demands. Every other sport goes with their times and uses camera footage to prevent wrong decisions but according to Platini football doesnt need it.
How utterly awfull is it to get this far as the underdog and to even deserve the win and then lose because 3 referees on the pitch are blind.
