You just can't be so blase about something that is destroying the sport.

And football rules have been twisted and changed by FIFA before, only a couple of weeks ago with their decision to seed the playoffs. Don't lecture me on fairness and rules.

Well then fifa should sort somthing out.
Henry isnt going to ( no footballer in the world would ask for a rematch if already in the world cup) even if he did i doubt it would happen.

Oh gawd!! NOw the supporters were treated badly as well? It never ends.
Give it a rest dude. I have heard all their reations, they all respect Henry, and believe in him when he says, he didnt mean to handle the ball.
Let it go Buddy, its bad for your health!

Why dont you celebrate a goal to?


Wonder if marradonna was sitting there saying " i taught him that "

And Lee Dixon and Winterburn think it's tarnished his career for good. You're actually talking rubbish because you love Henry and can't accept that he's a cheating git.

Smart man to be honest.

Just like a diver who gets away with it due to bad refereeing.

I just respect Henry for the player he is, and he has always have a lot of class and integrity. ONe handball is not gonna change my opinion on him.

There you go again, accepting this in football. Henry has always tried to promote fairplay in the sport and now he's cheated and never apologized for it. His celebrations were an absolute disgrace and the level of bias in here is staggering really.
