ImageGhana now has the full idea of their likely opponents at the 2010 World Cup to be held in South Africa next year.

 

The Black Stars were among the early qualifiers for the tournament but the compelte line-up of 32 countries was finished on Wednesday night.

Ireland made one final push Wednesday for a spot in next summer's World Cup, but a controversial goal in overtime sent France to the tournament instead.

The talk of the soccer world will be over whether France's Thierry Henry touched the ball with his hand -- an Associated Press report says he "appeared to control the ball twice with his hand" -- before setting up William Gallas for the game-winner.

It was the second game of a two-game playoff in which total goals determines the overall victor.

France won 1-0 on Sunday, meaning Ireland needed to win 1-0 in regulation Wednesday to force an overtime session.

Ireland did just that on a goal by Robbie Keane in the 33rd minute.

In the eighth minute of overtime, Gallas netted the winner.
