FIFA say no to Ireland and Costa Rica
On Tuesday FIFA said it will not create a 33rd place at next year's World Cup for the Republic of Ireland.
Costa Rica have already lodged a complaint, stating that Uruguay's winning goal in the South American-CONCACAF playoff final should have been ruled offside.
FIFA said granting an extra place to Ireland would change the World Cup format. So why not add Costa Rica? Which could then lead to other nations making protests.
FIFA still has their meeting on Wednesday, who knows what will come from that?
