ROI have asked if they can still be included in the World Cup and be team #33, luckily for them Costa Rica feel they were robbed by an offside and Blatter says they would have to be included also, as #34

Its also intresting that Blatter says...
"The highest crime in football is touching the ball with the hands."
Yet they still haven't got a simple mechanism or rule that can overturn a ref's desision and replay the game, not to mention all the technology they already have at their disposal thanks to Sky that would help the ref make the right desision and we wouldn't have all this.
It hasn't harmed rugby, tennis and cricket already use hawkeye and it doesn't slow their game down - if anything it gives it a buzz, they even use hawkeye in snooker albeit only for the TV viewers but how long before the ref wasn't sure or didn't see it and needs a second opinion on a foul shot?
Come on Fifa.....Sort it!
