Le Fraud
Soccer | Footie - France - Ireland - Soccer - Thierry Henry - World Cup

Not only was Thierry Henry offsides on the goal that sent France to the World Cup in extra time, but he palmed the ball twice, and so obviously, he would have been called for carrying in the NBA. Unreal. A total and complete disgrace to the game. A shocking example of cheating by a player known for sportsmanship.
There will be calls for a replay on such a piss-poor non-call. But somehow I doubt that FIFA, in all its fairness, will want to risk keeping France off of football’s biggest stage.
The French cheat. And the Irish go home to cry into their beer. Some things never change.
