We need video. Every game-changing even is proceeded with a break in play so it won't turn out like rugby or cricket. I can't understand why FIFA and UEFA are so resistant to it.
If Henry was banned for this, we would start seeing a lot more ball-to-hands happening. It wasn't overtly deliberate, although ethically he should have informed the ref, and would have been decent of him if he did. Unstandably he didn't but he is under no technical impetus to do. I can't see why he would need to be punished.

I don't think we need video, what we need is for footballers to be accountable for their actions, Henry should be banned and miss the World Cup, guarantee you wouldn't see a repeat of that incident if players were properly punished, same with diving.
