When all of the Irish team was complaining about it, Henry could have done the decent thing and agreed that he used his hands.

What happened to integrity? You play the game to get paid. You play the game to win. But above all, you play the game in the spirit of competition and sportsmanship.

It's sickening to see such a great player ruin the hopes of an entire country because his country couldn't get into the World Cup without the use of his hands. Ugh.

The replay was already denied by FIFA, and nothing can be done to change what happened, but shame on Henry. Shame on anyone who will take advantage of a situation and forget why you're playing to begin with.

Watching the video again, it is clear that he intended to control it with his hand. The fair thing for FIFA to do now would to ban Henry for deliberately cheating. No talk of this though...why?

Because Fifa would never ban an important player.

I think all the blow was worse for Maradona than the "Hand of God" goal.
