This article is about one game ( French and Ireland) played last wednesday. This had a big problem because French made a goal with used a hand. Ireland sent a letter to FIFA for replay the game because it lost and don´t go to World Cup. Both presidents only say their opinions but they don´t want involve on this big problem.
I think is very pain for al the team and people from Ireland, but I think that they can not play the game again. Mr Sarkozy said "What will be done will be done", I think the same, the refere made a mistake on this game, but anyone an change this thing. FIFA can not replay the game becaue when other thing similar happen again the team that lost, it want replay the game.
Sorry Ireland, but for me you don´t go to World Cup, and MEXICO let´s go to World Cup
What do you think?

This article is about the died of one soccer´s player. His name was Enke. He was a goalkeeper in Hannover 96 before he was struck and killed by a train.
He was a good candidate for participate on World Cup 2010. The police don´t know what was the reason for his died, right now they only said he suicide.
I can think a lot of reason for why he lost his life, but only he knows why he wanted die.
Next, 3 years ago, he had a bad tragedy, he lost his child because her had problems with her hearth. Since that day he wasn´t the same, he was unstable, but he kept it under wraps.
Maybe he was murdered or suicide, I think for more problems than I have, I never suicide. We need to resolve these problems, this is a other point than why life is interesting.
