If FIFA were to order replays of every match that was decided by a dodgy incident such as Henry's handball against Ireland then these International tournaments would take forever to complete. Sometimes it goes for your team, sometimes it goes against. You just have to learn to live with it. If Ireland do get a replay then England should immediately demand a replay of the quarter final against Argentina when Maradona blatantly handled the ball. Hell, why not go the whole hog and have a replay of the qualifier at Anfield in 1978 when Joe Jordan handled the ball in the Welsh box and the ref gave the penalty to Scotland. Such things happen in football, it's part of the game. If we didn't have controversy in football it would soon get pretty boring.
