Yesterday, France knocked out Ireland in the World Cup play-off match, from a goal illegally assisted by Thierry Henry, in the extra time. Henry admitted, after the match, that though he intentionally touched the ball by hand, the responsibility of judging should be on the shoulder of referees.
Cunning pretext. Henry clearly wanted to shovel off his sin, by blurring his trick with those natural errors, say misjudgment of off-side. However, he could never succeed. The true concern of the issue is intention. Henry understood too well that if he had not used his hand to control the ball, it would have been bounced out the baseline and a goal kick would subsequently be given to Ireland. Thus, he used his hand, twice, to tame the ball and crossed it for Gallas's later tap-in-by-head. Henry's act is comparable to diving in the box, which is outrageous cheating.
On the contrary, for those misjudges that intention is irrelevant, like whether the whole ball has crossed the line, it is then the referees' responsibility. To me, this kind of misinterpretation is acceptable, because men are prone to mistake by nature. Until instant replay is introduced to the game, these unintentional accidents are irrelevant to fairness. It's pure statistics.
Being the culprit of the crime, it's particularly nauseous for Henry to point finger at others. Just shame on him.
Giuxxxxx should seriously consider taking Henry out, he's not on the level with Federer & Woods. The way he treats his game is simply shame shame shame!
