    Thierry Henry is going to the World Cup and Ireland isn't, but the French forward is the one feeling the heat. His unintentional handball that led to France's game-winning goal has sparked a nationwide debate in his homeland. He's apologized repeatedly, but many think he should have done more. Regardless of who's at fault, the topic of video replay in soccer is picking up steam.

But looking ahead to next summer in South Africa, all signs point to Brazil winning a sixth title.
