Thierry Henry's Hand Goal (This is defenitly not the hand of GOD)

[qazqazqazwertyuiopqa]

They weren't complaining when they hand balled it, kicked it at the goalie's chest while he was outside the box but the goalkeeper was sent off in Armenia vs Ireland , whoever one qualified and Armenia were the better team, but couldn't win due to the lack of players on the pitch

[TheEmeraldnomad]

Nobody ever said we would win (I'm Irish) but we deserve fair play as much as the next team - this was FIFA protecting an investment and sayin '**** the rules -wo won't lose money'. A Shame on France (a truly great country) and a shame on FIFA who are brown envelope scum!

[shansyn]

@TheEmeraldnomad Although I do agree with your logic it is rather biased and one sided. I never heard any Irish complain when Robbie Keane was awarded a dubious penalty against Georgia. That resulted in an away win with three points and was completely unfair. Such is the game we love.

[catssunsetsmusic]

It was fucking perfect when France's world cup tournament went shit.

[bilal00276]

Messi handballed it to help his team, maradonas handballed it to help his team, C.ronaldo handballed it to try and help his team ( but failed ) so who cares

[MrAlexMagic]

As much as i like henry, hes a dick for doing this!

[conradlee65]

Ireland wouldn't have got far anyway

[BINSROCK]

@conradlee65 Thats not the point u mong

[TheEmeraldnomad]

@conradlee65 dick

[supermynameis11]

sorry everyone. France are a better side to Ireland so they really didnt deserve to even have to play them. yes it was a handball, but the officials are human they cannot spot everything, so whatever, France not being in the World cup is unthinkable! and they are not twats- that is racist.

[DrWhoFreak100]

1:04 the way he said ireland was just priceless

[X546DLF]

lol Henry is a cheat (irish pronunciation)

[LifeDeathPRODUCTIONS]

this is why we hate the french the twats

[datbadboi1]

Cant You Twats see he felt bad afterwards and TOLD the REF that he handballed it stop hating on him and grow up!

[iPaul123Mac]

20th century game in the 21st century *facepalm* fifa

[Niggerachi1101]

good to see dunne chatting with henry in the end, takes a real man to get over it

[JoshP7xD]

yh he cheated but hes probaly scored more goals then the whole of the Ireland has ever scored

[JPcelticfc]

@JoshP7xD

Robbie Keane has more international goals then henry does!! stick that up you're arse and swivel on it!!!

[kingboo2o]

WHEN WAS THIS?

[Benzzoop]

Let's look at it this way... Ireland was never going to win haha

[bladekid545]

Who cares it happened to italy aswell.. deal with it...

[slentzz]

hahaha fuk ireland thank god a better team like france went through

[sniper987]

they did fuck all in the world cup so the jokes on them

[chrisam91]

i love how the fans can think that it is handball when the stands are miles away from the pitch

[ahs123654]

henry didn't intentionly try to use his hand, but since he did, he carried on with it and used the opertunity to help take his country into the world cup. He admitted it was a hand ball anyway, it was all the refs fault. its not like this was the only handball that led to a goal, just ask marradona, messi, and suarez

[MegaKiller325]

@ahs123654 suarez handball didnt lead to a goal

[EkanshAatre]

yeah, if FIFA wants so much fair play then why don't they make a 3rd umpire who watches from cameras and can give better decisions?

[dragonfire836]

So what a little handball here and there doesnt hurt. Just ask maradonna and suarez.

[JukaPoke]

@dragonfire836 Don't forget Messi.

[dragonfire836]

@JukaPoke Exactly!! The best players have to have a handball in their career at least once.

[DzekoSucks]

i forgot about this and it was only like 2 years ago, nobody cares except the irish

[Scudeyyy]

HAHAH people are still bitching about this? Who cares Henry is still an awesome footballer and all of us got to laugh at France in the WC.

[alicenahardy]

at least he was ashamed..... not like that messi or maradona b***ch

[nichonr95]

@alicenahardy if you seen maradonna meeting lieneker he says to gary that it was his hand and not the hand of god and so what that you are ashamed or not. if it is any match he and any sportsman with competitive instinct would have done the same. if he is so ashamed why did he do it then? let sport be sport right if we take these situations out of the game it wouldn't be any fun

[alicenahardy]

at least he was ashamed..... not like that messi or maradona bitch

[bogusmaan]

get video reviews for these kinds of things and so you can stop blatant dives which i believe plagues this sport. Every other sport is instituting video reviews, its time for soccer to do it as well.

[besentreu]

the punishment for this goal was the performance during the tournament

[tintinpoo]

@LilLuke1808 it means its half/full time

[LilLuke1808]

At 0:51 what's the beer glass symbol mean in the bottom left corner cheat in French go eat ya croissant

[seapoo4]

even if they got in ireland would have gotten k.Oed in the group are not very good at football

[arslaanm]

Like Ireland were gonna get far anyway. White people just love to moan at stuff.

[DXFoley]

henry is garbage, making commercials for fair play and then this

what a hypocrite

[seankim1999]

He even admitted it was a handball... If the ball suddenly comes to him he cant do anything about it. And seriously, Im betting every soccer player would do that if their team would go to the world cup after that.

[sammymilan1]

Not Hand Of God, Hand Of Frog! French Bastards

[sammymilan1]

We were robbed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[10dman10]

@sammymilan1 you were robbed big time. Im not really a big soccer fan, and im Canadian, but i was pissed for you guys when i saw this

[sammymilan1]

@10dman10 I'm glad they came bottom of they're group and lost they're manager!

[jprenderg]

Hand of the faggot. Fuck Theirry Henry and Fuck FIFA for letting bullshit like this go. Unbelievable bullshit. Absolutely no heart left in the game.

[Empty0Set]

Video refs or video replays are a terrible idea...the element of uncertainty coming from human refs on the field with less than perfect field of vision is also a part of why football is a great sport. Think about how the sport will change after there is a penalty called on every corner kick.

[PompeyFcJack]

@Empty0Set there wouldnt be a penalty at every corner because footballers arent as stupid as you and they would know that there not gonna get away with handling the ball if there was video technology

[988630]

bfore henry someone has touched the ball with hand.. 0.28 to 0.33. french team is weak and even Uruguay draw a match with themwith 10 players today.

[italstallion06]

france will be gone in the first round, since zidane retired france has been sh*t, they wont make it out of the group

[darkrebel09]

Still, GO FRANCE!!! lol!!!

[roykeanerocks]

Dude not the hand of god. Hand of Gaul!!

[henn96]

info fans: only what is needed in football was finally to drive the video referee, to avoid the contested decision.

See the world the revolutionary project IVSR net site (international virtual school referees). There is also a video on youtube MINICAM VIDEO REFEREE (how to see eye referee). And it is very important to make a lot of pressure fans on FIFA and UEFA representatives, but I myself can not do anything against the old (conservative) people who govern football

[krumplatino]

i don't understand fifa, they say they are all for fairness, yet they let this be a goal, and in an important match, shame on you fifa, i have no hard feeling on herny, because in such a fast paced game, reaction like this are bound to happen, and it wasn't his fault, it was the referees. at least herny admitted it. ireland should be able to be in the world cup or at least have a rematch. viva chile.

[krumplatino]

@camhirtle don't you mean maradona, not messi, it was maradona who did the hand of god goal in mexico 1986.

[CoreyRobertson2]

Don't be mad at Henry for playing. It's the refs faults for not catching it! If video replay were instated this would have been called a handball and Ireland would have won!

[slashsolo1987]

Even though he did cheat i respect him.

[kristiansp8]

i am living in ireland and i am fan of ireland and russia and they but lost 0.1 and ireland wood win if ther was no hand ball

[johncenathekingofwwe]

henry is the black cat

[feetlovers81]

Whata cheaters...

[Joguecas]

A black will be always a black.

[camhirtle]

Just like racist bigots will never have brains....

[juanvelbo22]

fuck u hes french fat curly headed fuck

:p

[cakes181286]

Messi taught him that trick......( : P)

[camhirtle]

lol but messi's was perfect, this is a pretty bad hand of god....

[hunchbacked]

I think that:

- The match should be played again

- The attitude of Domenech at the end of the match is really indecent, there is nothing to celebrate.

- Definitively the video should be introduced to help the referees to take fair decisions.

And I am french!

[yaatribdsl]

@hunchbacked well said dude !

[cakes181286]

Great attitude....I am a French supporter plus a big Henry fan... and neither did I like the way France reacted... nor how Henry reacted..... Henry was God...but now his chariot has landed on Earth especially after this incident... or probably even lower than Earth....

[proevomen90]

@hunchbacked The game should not be replayed. In that sense, every game should be replayed, there's always an element of cheating. The game between England and Argentina should be replayed. Games can't replayed, and Henry was clever to use the blind side of the lino and ref. U can't blame them, Henry was clever. A Europa league style additional assistant would have spotted that, as would video technology

[waldmeisterP]

what I think is most pathetic about that whole situation is that the FIFA always insists on fair play and stuff but they won't do shit when it comes down to situations like that... france is more attractive in terms of merchandise and that's why there will never ever be a replay of this game. shame on henry and the FIFA... the game of football deserves better!!

[freq32]

Henry should have admitted it right then and there. They cannot replay the match, that's stupid and against FIFA rules. WHY DON'T THEY HAVE INSTANT REPLAY CHALLENGES LIKE IN AMERICAN FOOTBALL? USE THE TECHNOLOGY PEOPLE!

[5238330]

he is the second hand of god in the world

[amilcaraml]

well, this is not fair play, right folks?

[nydr9x]

funny
