PLAYERS: Thierry Henry

Ireland-93251766
Check out this disgrace from today's World Cup qualifier between Ireland and France. Ireland's up 1-0 in extra time in the second leg with the winner going to next year's finals in South Africa. (The previous encounter was a 1-0 France win so they needed OT to get a winner.)Thierry Henry of France clearly handles the ball on a long pass in the penalty area, and gets the ball over to William Gallas, who scores the tying goal, and France goes to the finals, and Ireland gets screwed big time, and will watch the finals on TV.It makes the Irish in me boil over. Pathetic.
