FIFA will consider having extra match officials on the field to help referees at next year's World Cup in South Africa, FIFA president Sepp Blatter said Monday.
Blatter says Thierry Henry's deliberate handball, which led to the goal that sent France to the World Cup at the expense of Ireland, showed that referees needed more help on the field.
