If Ireland played Costa Rica in a play-off Blatter would arrange for a country capable of producing more dosh (a country like France for example) to be declared the winner. And then he would make a wise-crack.

I wouldnt even want to get in this way. Besides Trap probably has a big vacation planned somewhere weird where old people sit around and say sayings to each other and wouldnt be able to manage on short notice.

there is talk over in the usa about the world cup and north korea. some korean war vets want n.korea kicked out of the wc due to there international status. one such group is led by a congressman from some westen state saying that it nkorea are not expelled he will take it to congress to have the usa boycott the games. like what happned at the 1980 olympics with the usa boycotting the 1980 games in moscow. what if the usa does pull out? is there a choice for eire to make it? but the talk over here is big about that. as lot of korean war groups expacally in the western usa are taling about korea being expelled or the usa should pull out. this congressman might be our only hope to go. unless fifa give the spot to costa rica!!!!!!!!

Why should Ireland get the spot ahead of any other team that lost in the play-offs?

**irishfan86** · 24/12/2009, 7:15 PM

Even if this did happen, I'm sure a CONCACAF team would be chosen as the replacement regional representative.

**christo** · 24/12/2009, 7:45 PM

talks of Brazil being kicked out as well from the reliable source that is The Sun

http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage...-Cup-spot.html

Again if it does go ahead, surely the replacement would be from the same region as the team that is gone out

We'll be banned for the same reason probably (TNB suing the FAI)

If Brazil are thrown out of the World Cup and Ireland given their place, I'll have to remember to keep my head down. Don't want to be struck by any of those low-flying pigs...

I have not heard any of that talk whatsoever. There is a better chance of you seeing God than team USA pulling out. If you call Fox Football Fone In next monday night during the telecast and bring this up Eric Wynalda will get a good laugh.

I saw God once. Lansdowne Road, 1996. Kept the centre forward in his pocket the whole night.

Exactly,that is the important point. Yes we were complelty cheated in the playoffs, but that doesn't mean we deserve to qualify ahead of Russia Bahrain et al should a team be kicked out of the world cup
