To suggest Henry's handball has anything to do with money is plain illogical. As is the notion he's no longer a legend or decent person.
If an English or Irish player had done the same (ignore the fact English players obviously never cheat), that's all we'd be hearing; they did it for their country! But no, as it was a dirty Frenchman, it's the act of Satan.
At least it's given an oppurtunity for people to dish out a good bit of old fashioned francophobia.

Are you saying it's ok for a player to cheat, as long as it's in a big game?
I'm suprised people are sticking up for him, but on the other hand it doesn't suprise me those people are Arsenal fans. I wonder what their reactions would be if it was Ronaldo in Henry's position?
