Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Republic of Ireland vs France (2010 FIFA World Cup Play-Off)
while the match may indeed not have been notable without the controversial call, there is more than sufficient sourcing available to indicate this is more than a flash-in-the-pan news event and has established notability beyond that. This event apparently has gone so far as to attract the attention of national governments, and is being used as a fulcrum to try to establish major changes in the way soccer is played. I'm all for , probably more than most even, but this goes beyond a simple news event
