That was probably worse than Maradona's in terms of premeditation.

Eduardo was lambasted for his cheating but this is no different at all. I think Henry should be subject to a FIFA enquiry and booed for a bit when he plays. Anyway, in answer to the question, if I was playing for England against France for a world cup spot and had the opportunity to cheat and send the Frogs packing I would cheat and I would cheat convincingly.

No one's really answered the original question
Would u take the goal or take the moral higher ground cos your player "cheated"
I would take it in a heartbeat and then spout a line like one u will here every week from some manager, "we got a bit of a lucky break there but we've been on the receiving end often enough" There can be no replay as there is no rule in place to allow a retrospective change in the decision. It is not fair play and the rule should be changed but hasn't changed yet. This also made me think of the 2006 world cup final when ZZ was red carded, nothing that can be proven but I am almost certain in game video evidence was used to make that decision. A correct decision but not if the officials missed it. |

Hey there was nothing in the rules about having the play-off draw seeded but they changed that, so i guess they can make up and change rules as they please. |

there may be nothing in the rule book - but then it has happened in the past that a Frenchman offered his opponents team a replay after they were on the opposing end of a miscarriage of justice
that was only a early round FA cip tie though - and this is the difference between being at the world cup finals in south africa and watching the tournament thousands of miles away at home on tv, i doubt the french will have the balls this time to offer the replay "just in case"

It was cheating but 99.9% of people would take it if it meant your team getting to the world cup. There is no chance of a replay, but i reckon the Irish would be sweating if it was the other way around. Fifa and Uefa etc will do everything they can to get the big team to the latter stages of tournaments.
Gallas is such a luckbox.

Lol this is so com, I bet there is numerous goals scored later this season where a blatant handball is involved and no one will bat an eyelid.
The media has so much to answer for stirring this crap (mainly because people seem so incapable of thinking for themselves in these cases), Henry did what 99% of footballers would do in his situation for his country and is getting treated like he has committed genocide.
Also massive lol @ the comparisons with bloodgate, a pre meditated thoroughly planned cheating compared to a spur of the moment slight infraction of the rules.
Seriously get over it and move on.

They don't seem to be talking about this for some reason. |

There's only one way to deal with these type of incidents. Get yourself a giant Ireland flag and stick it outside the ref's house. Should do the trick.
