stupid henry.
here's a song about it.

FIFA sucks way worse than Henry in this matter.

Also, great song.

I don't know why people are surprised at the French putting their hands up...they've been doing it since 1940 (zing!)

Thierry Henry is now on the list.

henry is all "yeah, it was a handball"

henry is all "yeah, it was a handball"

And FIFA is all "yeah, we hate the Irish"

FIFA were scared that Portugal,Germany and France were all heading to the playoffs so changed the rules to seed the teams - be interested to see the comments of the UEFA president about this.... oh wait it's prattini.

Having said that, why is handball seen as a bigger offence than diving for a penalty or the other cheating that all teams try and get away with?

I think it's because even the casual fan can see what it is. It's very black & white (no slight to Henry), if the ball hits your hand, it hits your hand.

i agree with you here. handballs usually even have that THWACK-y handball noise.

but i hate diving more than anything else, personally. it annoys the crap out of me even when it's someone on my team. but mostly it annoys me when it's blanco or anyone on the sounders.

i think it being henry also has something to do with it. he's all nice and junk.

ro"i never dove, just took fouls... but i did handball the shit out of the ball a few times when I knew I could get away with it"ach

roy keane is all "shut up you crybabies, you should have put france away when you had a chance"
