La Main de Dieu

It is quite safe to say that today's Ireland-France World Cup qualifying was slightly controversial.

How controversial, you ask? Well, the winning eventual clinching goal for the French in extra time consisted of a missed offsides call and the Hand of Thierry Henry God striking down on the Irish.



That game would go on to end up tied at 1, thus securing a World Cup birth to the French due to the fact that they won 1-0 in Dublin 4 days ago. You don't have to a math major to know that that means that France wins the aggregate 2-1 and Les Bleus will be going to l'Afrique Sud.

Once the Uruguay-Costa Rica game ends, I'll have a list up of your 32 World Cup teams.
