WORLD CUP 2009: FRANCE vs IRELAND HANDBALL VIDEO - NOW WHAT?

The FRANCE vs. IRELAND game has transcended all frontiers.

This is the French goal from Gallas that eliminated a brave Ireland
side from the 2010 World Cup:

(LOWER THE VOLUMEN!, incident replay 1.15min)


Two points:
1. There was off-side
2. Thierry Henry handled the ball twice.

According to the player:

“Yes it was handball, evidently I would have wished
it to be differently, but I am not the referee”

It is perfectly possible that both linesman & referee did not see clearly
the handball due to there angle of vision & players blocking their view.

So what now? SFS suggests that FIFA ban THIERRY from International
Football for the next 4 – 6 games. That should be fair right?

If not, FIFA´s preaching has little credibility, as this was outright
scandalous. Mr.Blatter & Mr. Platini do you have something to add?
