Keane blasts Platini and Blatter

Robbie Keane hit out at the presidents of FIFA and UEFA following the Republic of Ireland’s World Cup exit, claiming they would be “delighted” that France had gone through thanks to a hugely controversial winning goal.

Striker Thierry Henry clearly handled the ball before squaring it across goal for William Gallas to net the winner after Republic skipper Keane had levelled the aggregate score in the first half of the play-off second leg in Paris.
