Great, but that doesn't mean cheating is an acceptable form of behavior. I mean if the island of Manhattan had a giant shield around it, terrorists wouldn't have been able to fly airplanes into our buildings. That doesn't mean people are free to go around hijacking planes on suicide missions does it?The Soccer Sourcehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13874664836520462410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5639474280933569691.post-30501066994098061302009-11-19T16:24:40.230-05:002009-11-19T16:24:40.230-05:00This article is nothing short of bull.

I'm not going to blame Henry, I'm blaming FIFA, this isn't the first time that someone cheated to get into the World Cup, not the first time that someone cheated to win a football match, then why is everyone jumping on Henry? FIFA should have incorporated video replay by now, they didn't and these kind of things will continue to happen in Football.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5639474280933569691.post-59062807435558512942009-11-19T11:23:46.325-05:002009-11-19T11:23:46.325-05:00Italy also benefited from a phantom penalty call i...Italy also benefited from a phantom penalty call in the waning minutes of their World Cup match with Australia three years ago. Remember that? There is ample evidence to support the fact (yes, fact) that FIFA is corrupt. What sets this most recent example apart is a) its egregiousness and b) the fact that it was pulled by one of the most recognizable names in the sport.The Soccer Sourcehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13874664836520462410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5639474280933569691.post-33596121040039671702009-11-19T09:06:30.920-05:002009-11-19T09:06:30.920-05:00As a Scotland fan, I feel bad for the Irish. So mu...As a Scotland fan, I feel bad for the Irish. So much for FIFA Fair Play - between the 'seeded' (ie rigged) play-off draw and last night's blatant handball, you can't help but conclude that FIFA is desperate to get the big nations through to the finals, by fair means or foul. Remember the dodgy free-kick that Italy were outrageously awarded against Scotland in the last minute of their November 2007 Euro qualifying match? see here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ACVKUV_z_8 I was reminded of that last night.Hugh, Londonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5639474280933569691.post-38472133456323974092009-11-19T06:45:10.832-05:002009-11-19T06:45:10.832-05:00I think we should have a competition to see who th...I think we should have a competition to see who the biggest loosers are between Henry, the Referree or FIFA. For pure corruption, Fifa clearly win, but close call for the looser battle.<br /><br />I hope the French suffer as much bad luck as they possibly for the forseable future in every discipline.....cheaters !<br /><br />Hey Platini, maybe you'll allow France and the big nations to take drugs for the next world cup to give them that extra boost and ensure they all qualify.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5639474280933569691.post-34115776440592779232009-11-18T22:28:07.772-05:002009-11-18T22:28:07.772-05:00honestly, I don't think Zidane's headbutt ...honestly, I don't think Zidane's headbutt was anywhere near as bad as this. That was just him losing his cool in the moment. And let's face it: Materazzi a) deserved it and b) made a meal out of it by going down like he was shot. Also, Zidane was sent off. France lost the match. Justice, at least in that sense, was served.<br /><br />Henry's move was dishonest, conniving and it went unpunished.The Soccer Sourcehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13874664836520462410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5639474280933569691.post-69884051437891595332009-11-18T22:06:25.678-05:002009-11-18T22:06:25.678-05:00Come on guys, it's not like he viciously headb...Come on guys, it's not like he viciously headbutted anyone!Elliotthttp://futfanatico.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5639474280933569691.post-52951497452464532602009-11-18T21:49:07.159-05:002009-11-18T21:49:07.159-05:00a real shame--especially if Henry ends up coming t...a real shame--especially if Henry ends up coming to play in New York after the World Cup!The Soccer Sourcehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13874664836520462410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5639474280933569691.post-62053925258593444192009-11-18T21:30:27.183-05:002009-11-18T21:30:27.183-05:00One needn't hate the French to be dismayed by ...One needn't hate the French to be dismayed by Henry's hand-ball and the outcome of the match.<br /><br />Henry's reputation is now permanently defined by this match; and the game itself suffers further.DMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17250985156512363664noreply@blogger.com
