France will be at the World Cup in South Africa next year, but Ireland will not after "losing" the qualifier match in extra time to France in Paris. Henry can be seen at 0:47 handling of the ball... before William Gallas' goal secured the French their ticket to the World Cup at Ireland's expense. Henry has also admitted to handling the ball:"I will be honest, it was a handball," Henry said. "But I am not the referee." Ireland is demanding a rematch more>>

its soccer, it happens. it wasn't cheating. just like in football sometimes a foot is over the line or theres interference that isn't called. or hockey a goalie shovels a puck out or theres a dangerous play that isn't called. its just the game. its not a cheat. has nothing to do with the team. he admitted to the handball in interviews. its not like he's trying to hide it.

Shady! The French deserve to lose at the next match. What a cheat.

Actually, they need to lose all three games in the group stage at the World Cup. That game was 2nd leg of who's going to the World Cup between those two things.

Hmm. Football? Handball? Next thing you know the French will be trying head butts!
