Bono says Ireland should be in the World Cup
Hey, have you been wondering what U2 lead singer and professional world saver Bono thinks about the Thierry Henry handball debacle that eliminated Ireland from qualifying for the World Cup? Don’t bother answering that because you’re going to find out anyway.
When asked whether Ireland should be reinstated in the tournament during an interview with the BBC, Bono said:“Yes, I think so. Absolutely.
“I think it would be a really noble thing of FIFA to do.
“I think it’s okay for FIFA to say ‘Look things are changing, that game is an affront to FIFA’s concept of fairness’ and I think there’s smart people in FIFA who will see that this is an opportunity. It’s not a huge giant bureaucracy that can’t be turned around.
“It can turn around and they should have video from now on and they should allow Ireland be at the cup.”Not a huge giant bureaucracy? Oh, Bono. You’re funny.

Elsewhere, FIFA officially declared that it’s “impossible” for Ireland to appear at the World Cup in South Africa. So, yeah, that didn’t really work.
By the way, that’s Bono tying Chelsea striker Didier Drogba’s shoe at an event announcing Nike’s partnership with the (RED) charity. I don’t know why he’s doing that, either.- Share this on del.icio.us
