Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’ve probably heard of the very controversial way that France has advanced to the 2010 World Cup, beating Ireland 2-1 on aggregate with Thierry Henry’s hand ball. We all know Maradona went down in history with his.

Thierry Henry Hand Ball

Watching the replay, it’s pretty clear that he intentionally moved his hand out to keep the ball in play and was able to cross it, which lead to the goal being scored.

Thierry Henry has confessed to the ordeal, even stating he may retire from the game, but at the time he looked pretty content with the no call. FIFA ignored Ireland’s pleas for a rematch, but with all the attention it’s getting maybe they’ll do something else? Possibly suspend Henry?
