It was a huge mistake made by a huge player, in a huge game, in a huge stadium, in front of a huge audience, for qualifying for the biggest tournament of all. Stop trying to trivialize it like it were a backalley game of fucking poker. Of course it is going to open debate. Of course it is going to make the headlines.

You can take your matter-of-factly bullshit and go fuck yourself.

It doesnt matter if its a world cup final I say. Its football, and referees miss calls. England won the world cup on a goal that never crossed the line, during extra time of the world cup final. It happens!
So all of a sudden Henry is scum of the earth? Please. Yes they need to accept it with dignity in defeat.
No one will remember this apart from bitter fans, who will undoubtedly hold a grudge against Henry till the day they die.
Oh well, it wont change the fact that Henry is and will always be, a legend, and one of the classiest players of our time.
