Thanks for your …
Thanks for your comments, in all fairness It appears that most French people are disgusted by whats happened. Certainly all the French people I know have been sickened by this hollow victory. Its ironic that Henry and Domenech are now united in treachery. Soccer is one of the most corrupt sports on the planet, its dead.

MAITHICAO – you’re letting yourself down there. You might be a racist fool, but don’t put it in writing for the world to see! You do realise that you’re showing the rest of your countrymen up by talking like that, don’t you?? Henry admitted it was a handball and is ashamed of the manner of the win. I’m Irish, I hope that someone can talk sense into FIFA. The world is behind us. There’s no need to be talking like an ignorant lowlife. Same goes for you, KERGUNDU.

I am never proud of anything accomplished through deceit, cheating or foulplay. if winning is truly what you want why not do it for real? There is far more respect due in an honest defeat or draw than this. Maybe this is how you grew up, it’s a shame they don’t teach honour and truth, integrity and ownership in this sport. watching this sport is getting harder as people in this sport are a bunch of pansy’s crying at every glance to thier bodies, why can’t they be like the rugby guys and man up.

well then honour is gone and every player is lowered to scum and cheap moralizing for the unwarranted gain of a false victory. Then you obviously have no honour and respect for yourself or others. No cheating should go unpunished if caught no matter how late. believing your a champ even though in reality you are not especialy in heart with honour. You are so small!!!

why is everyone so angry at henry? he just kept playing until he heard the whistle (which never came)! it isn’t his fault, it’s the refs. It goes unsaid that you don’t stop play unless you hear that whistle. Don’t blame the french, blame the ref. Replay the game

Calm down guys, …
Calm down guys, listen to what Roy Keane has to say about this match and the handball dilemma. Where was the goalkeeper, the defenders? Why didn’t they clear the ball which bounced in the six yard box? That’s what Roy Keane is asking the Irish team about.

Don’t act as if such cheating doesn’t go on in football. Every player would do it if presented with the opportunity based on their instincts because every player wants his team to win! Simple!

So get over it now.

Thierry Henry is a great footballer. I respect how he stood with the player of ireland at the end of the game. You can definitely tell he was sorry. I also believe France and Ireland should replay the second leg again. FIFA should endorse a referee behind the net on each side just like the european league games.
