The incident caused widespread debate on FIFA Fair Play, and how matches should be refereed at the highest level. The
Football Association of Ireland (FAI) requested a replay on grounds of fairness, but this was denied by FIFA under the
Laws of the Game.
[2] A widely reported later request by Ireland to be included as an unprecedented 33rd World Cup entrant was later withdrawn by the FAI, and dismissed by the FAI as peripheral to their other more substantial petitions for change in world football made to FIFA.

On the subject of fair play, FIFA President Sepp Blatter said:
I appeal to all the players and coaches to observe this fair play. In 2010 we want to prove that football is more than just kicking a ball but has social and cultural value...So we ask the players 'please observe fair play' so they will be an example to the rest of the world.
—FIFA President Sepp Blatter,
