None of Ireland's Players Seemed to Know Anything About FIFA's 5 Million Euro Payment

Whether it was $5 million or 5 million euros, it seems none of the Ireland players knew about the secret payment made by FIFA to compensate the country for missing out on the 2010 World Cup after Thierry Henry's handball.
A day after confirming the money was paid to the Irish soccer association, FIFA corrected itself Friday and said it handed over $7.1 million at the time after the country's national team failed to qualify for the World Cup. On Thursday, FIFA said the figure was $5 million.
Roy Keane, one of Ireland's greatest players and now an assistant coach with the national squad, said his team had "hardly spoken about" the deal, and he didn't want to be drawn into it, either.
