Fifa says it will not grant the Football Association of Ireland's request for a replay of Ireland’s World Cup play-off against France, which France won.
The Republic of Ireland was beaten 2-1 on aggregate after France won with a goal from William Gallas, after Thierry Henry had his hands on the ball in the build up.
Fifa says its rules state that a referee's decision on points of fact is final and that’s that. It says a decision to replay the match would cause absolute chaos for football.
