Cheat or paragon: how Thierry Henry could have handled it all so differently | Richard Williams
—
France's captain missed the perfect opportunity to produce an act of genuine sportsmanship Thierry Henry had about five seconds in which to decide to join the immortals. While William Gallas wheeled away from the point-blank header which gave France the lead over the Republic of Ireland during extra time in their World Cup play-off last night, Henry's reaction could have gone one of two ways. In the act of controlling the ball before providing Gallas with a perfect cross, France's captain had ...

Video: Daniele De Rossi admits to a handball
SoccerBlog.com — ... One can argue that the stakes are not as high as as an entry to the world's biggest stage which only happens every four years.

Then again, I am not so sure (about Williams). ...

To rank the incident in Paris alongside Diego Maradona’s ‘Hand of God’ in 1986 is misleading. That was a street kid’s instinct, acclaimed by his compatriots as revenge for Antonio Rattín and the Malvinas. Henry may come from Les Ulis, a ...
