I'm really disappointed Russia didn't qualify. To a lesser extent, Bosnia too.

Now we have cheating France & cheating Portugal in the WC.

tbf it looks like Henry knows he's cheated Ireland.

Got to say this is more evidence that we need video replays. It's not as if this would even out over the course of a season.

Sad Ireland didn't qualify, especially due to a missed handball. Though i have to admit i'm a bit of a francophile.

Extra time. You need a goal to go to the world cup and a massive chance has opened up but you need the hand to stop it going out of play. He looked ashamed but he would do it again. As would a lot of players.

Once an Arsenal cheat...

The sight of Arshavin at the end was hard to watch, i really feel sorry for him. This was meant to be Russia's "golden generation" and yet they've failed to qualify for both World Cups this decade.

Arshavin can focus on us now \o/

Yes. Arsenal are the only team to have players who cheat/handball. Whatever.

SB_07 · 18-11-2009, 22:43

Don't remember Henry ever using a hand to assist/score a goal before? He only ever scored quality goals which is why he's a legend.

Still this won't be a nice way for France to go though.

Whilst it could 'easily have been given' there was no way that was a penalty, it was a dive and the ball was well out of Anelka's reach by then.

Didn't Anelka once play for Arsenal, to quote that well known football sage Russ," once an Arsenal cheat" .....

He was cost a goal in the FA Cup Final when a Liverpool Player cleared it off the line. (That wasn't cheating because it was a English Defender I believe).

Rooney would have done the same, Torres would have done the Same, Keane would have done the same, Van Persie would have done the same. We need video replays because how many players would do the honest thing with so much mistake.
