The Irish soccer association has lodged an official complaint with FIFA over the deliberate handball by Thierry Henry that cost Ireland a place in the World Cup. The Football Association of Ireland issued a statement Thursday saying the handball was recognized by the FIFA commissioner, the referee observer and the match officials, as well as by Henry himself. Henry's handball in extra time of the playoff led to a goal by William Gallas in a 1-1 draw that put France in the World Cup.
