Henry - Unfairness at its best ... or worst?

[FootballJudgey94]

Spain are just as bad the cheating cunts.. Have anyone seen Busquets!

[miss00muffin]

The worst thing is that the german commentator keeps saying that puyol was an actor and obviously wanted to hit henry with his ellbow :D

[Peeto87]

Henry used to be my favourite player, I lost so much respect for him now I've seen this.

[r3nc3k]

what Henry did is not unfair play, it's bending the law in your way, you could say. What FC Barcelona is doing is unfairness.

[Apostolin0]

Oh, I love him ! xD

[KoronaKielce92]

dobrze tak puyolowi nienawidze go.

Henry byl jest i bedzie najlepszy, chociaz nieraz gra strasznie unfair.

[oliverecords]

What I see is that Puyol actually cuts Henry's trajectory, a thing most of players do unfortunately, and Henry overacts in his own personal style, which I always found stupid. I had forgotten the goal came after that... I'm french. I'd also like to stress what WonderfulHenry14 recalled. Not trying to find excuses to this though. It's not right to me, as I love football.

[anikrit2002]

@madinalaerul3-r u blind or wat !?cant u see henry was hit by his head...cant blame u..i myself failed to realize which pixel is the ball

[WonderfulHenry14]

look people, it's return in favour. please do watch arsenal vs barcelona in 05-06 champion league final. puyol vs henry. it's called retribution.

[magbig11]

No doubt it was spains turn 2 win last year !

[Guaguanco11]

Henry = cheat

[hegde14]

not an henry or a french or a spanish fan but that was a foul though... the faceplant was unnecessary ..but if he hadn`t done it i wouldn`t be here he he...

[hegde14]

Come on you guys its just puyol`s strong hair that went in his eyes....lol

[tarunkrishna]

I think there is no need for a referee anymore in modern football, just a field supervisor to keep order and then whatch the replay on screen to decide inportant stuff.

[Isam7]

whether he was hit in the face, chest or even balls, that was a 100% foul by Puyol

[SHOTTONLEGEND]

This is bad cheating, of course it is, but Henry is still one of the greatest players to Grace the premiership in the 21st century, no doubt about it.

[mootj3]

Good job Henry



[baddking]

There is background to this incident. I can't remember but it was about the French team and not getting free kicks in the WC when they were getting fouled. Henry and the players were told to take a fall or something along those lines.

[123lamby456]

at least he did it to the irish too, lol

[jenniferumanzor1]

None of this matters anymore. It was unfair and everyone knows Henry is a cheat. Not just here but agaisnt Ireland as well. But fast forward 4 yrs later and the amazing Puyol put Spain in the WC final and an out of form Henry sat on the bench and watched France make a first round exit. Funny how things catch up to you sometimes

[Sarezh998]

Slow spanish cunt haha

[thedarkwatcher]

If the morons here want a little context: Henry and Puyol hate each other, it started in the barcelona - arsenal champions league final where puyol dived and scrapped his way through every challenge with Henry. That is why he is acting like that.

[Guled89]

LOL

Henry is a legend. Fake it, they scored and Spain is out of the world cup

[TheJamjam81]

FIFA STANDS FOR FRENCH INSIDERS FUCKING ANNOYING

[surrender1234]

wow now they are both in the same club, Barcelona. I wonder if they still bear the grudge...

[ozzzy42]

henry is a cunt

[nau02119]

That's what cheating is!

[dennis123138]

i really feel sorry for Puyol, u can tell by his face how miserable he was, and that referee is a hardcore dumbfuck!

[Rooflcoopter]

Henry <3

[blagger56]

He has been a cheat throughout his career, it is only now, with such a high profile cheat in the WC playoff, that it is now making headlines. I HATE cheating, I'd rather my team get hammered than lose by one cheated goal. And next in line for the cheating title is that horrible "scally scouser" Gerrard. And those cheating French "pigs that have their noses in the trough" that is UEFA are just as bad. If justice is done, the French will get what they deserve in the opening group games at the WC.

[marinerstillidie]

fuck i hate henry hes a douchebag

[matthewc4e]

henry is a cock sucker

[joezep37]

cheating cunt

[TheTrashmen]

Yeah and do Spain remember the simulation that gave a penalty that raul missed in 2000...probably not, but it's the same thing!

[ssadab85]

HENRY RULEZZZZ

[thealekk]

Ones a cheater, ALLWAYS a cheater

[sedlo03]

Not fair, but I still Love you Titi.Youŕe the best..THIERRY HENRY!!!!!!

[seanogcarey]

fuck henry dirty french cunt

[redh0tl0ve]

@seanogcarey You are a dirty fuckin racist, I'm French, I love you, aaand.. suck my dick !

[seanogcarey]

@redh0tl0ve nothing racist about henry being a cheating cunt! thats true!

[greatesthenry]

maybe becuase he bit his lip? coz u watch the whole thing aftr he is clutching his mouth, no dive

[erikdw]

that is unquestionably, undeniably a dive. Even if he bit his lip he was the one that initiated the contact and he should have been charged with the foul on Puyol.

[novatrek]

shoulder to shoulder, ya homo.

[erikdw]

not sure what you are trying to say here with "shoulder to shoulder". It should have been either a no-call or a foul on Henry. Giving it to Puyol is blaming the victim.

[novatrek]

@erikdw looking at the vid, he got the yellow because he hindered henry from getting the ball. Ur right, "shoulder to shoulder" made no sense. wonder why I wrote it?

[93olive]

TITI HENRYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY.

France didn't win this game for henry, france won because they were better than spain... That's all..

[dennis123138]

spain won the euro cup most recently...

was it france? NO!!!

[madinalakerul3]

why is he clutching his face when he wasn't even hit in the face??

[retardedscarded]

@madinalakerul3 because his name is cheathierry henry

[yongdilee]

@madinalakerul3 because evry footballer has to be an talented actor but u cant show me one how never overreacted like this btw henry best maybe next time ireland BAHAHAA

[don1schon]

@madinalakerul3 Politics every where lol

[jerryjingjo]

@madinalakerul3 that is the art of being a 'pussy'

[redjarman88]

@madinalakerul3 Because apparently it's a legitimate tactic to use in soccer. Horrible over-exaggerate or fake an injury so you can get a penalty shot. And since the field is like 5 miles long, the referees can't see everything so they can get away with it.

[markovukoja]

@madinalakerul3 Ppl like to call it simulating...

[MikeLikesOreos]

@madinalakerul3 actually, if theres contact, most referees dont do shit unless you clutch your face, because they dont know anything happened.

[aliooooo68]

That's called schwalbe

[309nilsson]

give him a 2game suspension after the game then if the referee didnt see it

[DigSAS]

fucking shit sport for shit athletes with massive vaginas

what a joke

[jbarbic]

thats why its the most most watched sport in the world dumbass ! world cup is known world wide not like that gay sport american footbalL!!

[DigSAS]

I don't play American football you jerkoff.. The reason its so widely watched is because its mainly played by pussy arse Europeans and Asians who are too effeminate to play anything else (including netball etc.). Play a real sport you fucking disgrace.

[jbarbic]

what would you call a reall sport gay ass rugby? come on now soccer has the biggest stages to play on what they do no one else can do ! national teams are the best though ! thoughs games are the best !

[DigSAS]

Rugby takes skill, determination, courage and teamwork to play. Not pansy soccer. Soccer is only so big because it is such a simpleton sport that any idiot can learn it/be good at.

[jbarbic]

rugby is for idiots who cant pass school cant find a job rugby  has no passion for the game like soccer does thats why so many ppl watch soccer !

[Rosskow]

footballer's are just pussy's

[BluesGossip]

he's a french git

[markus1312]

was redet dieser pieke kommentator da daher?

[bbiiggbbboooyyy]

-it ended 3-1 france

-im sure this wasnt the only dive of the match

-diving is a part of the game, just like in any other sport

-spain failed at defending the free kick (there was nobody antwhere near viera on the back post), so stop whining

[HateDiazP]

While this was a blatant dive, the Spanish were diving the entire game as well.

[DigSAS]

this is why football is the gayest sport in the world

[taobhchlea]

Your forgetting NASCAR.

[foot2009]

ahh Okay...I understand why France scores the goal so luckely and easely FUCK THEM

[hairyicedude]

I think 1:21 is my favourite, when Henry falls over trying to celebrate

[mastecard0607]

haha

[chrizgoo]

yea haha, that was ugly

[checkt]

I wonder what Puyol had to say about this when Henry left to Barcelona???

[aussieboy1996]

DISGRACEFUL

[evzyboi123]

its a good decision because it was carles puyol Dirty CUNT!

[PrettyPiZZAface]

this is a bad decision, but there have been much many more worse decisions. 50% of games were decided by refs at this wc, as usual.

[arsenal1029384756]

sssssssssssshhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh­hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh­hhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[hasinoz]

henry u diving prick!!!!

[50centibbe]

i miss zidane

[mutinda006]

hahaha---its funny how stuff works out- their teammates at barca

[grobari107]

the only person to blame is the ref people call soccer a pussy sport cuz of dis so let them play hard like men

[bcolborn]

and Henry for diving like a little bitch

[Fruidie]

Yeah, i guess curling is much tougher...

Dont you have som american ass you need to kiss?

[PrettyPiZZAface]

the german commentator reinhold beckmann is even a bigger piece of dhit than henry. he says puyol is playacting and pretends to be innocent, and mentions not the henry acting.

[gta4it]

i mean henry's teammate fault for faking it cheating isn't good but sometimes you just have too :\

[gta4it]

was cearly henry's fault not the oter guy

[Mindpovver]

I would brake henrys leg after I they scored if he did somthing like thaat against me..

[anel22ka]

henry is a dick

[nateman20]

haha dumbass red team.

[acuraintegrajo]

that dumbass red team won euro 2008

[zz5fosho]

that red team is the best football team in the world nowadays ....so don't talk about football if you don't know shit bastard

[nateman20]

well sorry, dont get your panties in a bunch. i dont watch a whole lot of european football.

i was only saying that cuz i dont know the individuals name and he had that whole "what? me? what did i do?-attitude"

[ArsenalRyan]

that's what happens when an attacker known for staying on his feet, goes against a defender known for playing dirty. No foul, but I always suspect puyol of throwing elbows.

[frogs4ever1994]

It was still a foul, whether Henry over reacted or not. Plus, we won 3-1 in that game anyway lol

[FlipsideRFC]

not as bad as the italy barge into hutton at hampden that ended in a free kick they scored

[Playboyy1985]

what about the lil spaniard who barely got touched at the edge of the box and went down like hed been shot for spains first goal plus puyol cant just put his elbow in somebodys chest Yes Henry did exagerate but its still a foul

[poondhi]

Which player wasnt diving and cheating the refs in the world cup? Henry admitted he faked it so boo hoo......winning comes at any cost. Spanish were outplayed anyway

[boshankers12]

revenge for beating Arsenal in the champs league lol

[AkaSniffles]

Except France won 3-1.

[hansTowns]

fucking idiot german commentators... even after the replay where you can clearly see nothing happened they talk about puyol and his acting.

german cunts...

But i was glad to see zidane play again for a moment :P

[pjfanny]

that sucks!

[miebulu]

Henry is a cheater..Hail Zidane and Ribery !!

[ulsbolde89]

Much of the credit goes to Zidane and Vieira.

[flaviolambarti]

what kills me about this is that im an arsenal and henry fan and when i saw this i was shocked cuz henry normally does not dive or do theatrics. also i was supporting spain and to see that result in a goal for france gutted me...

[Jaimmortal]

why do people get all upset because players have so much hunger that they will do anything to win?

[buffon00001]

Yes Henry is a good actor but after this goal in 90th minute zidane scored another so it will end with France victory

[Piconix]

lol

[bbr11]

ohhh gotta love that goal from the cheap foul

[OSHIDezu]

Sucks to lose that way.

[tomtomsoundz]

good.

[JokerHimself]

thats rediculas

[DE4DLEEDRILLS]

lakings is right although im not sure if they should use replays but anyway a yellow card for diving is just not enough. If the ref is sure its a dive IMO should be a red card. Maybe 5 or so games suspension too. Like, when your watching a game and some one on opposition dives and u know its a dive and the ref gives them a foul and maybe a card to ur guy then it is really frustrating. it happens so often that something reall must be done.

[etzu7]

FAKER :(

[dipship123]

oh thats ass the dude in the red shouldnt have gotten the card

[critindonalduck]

so what???

its not like only henry fakes around like that...

many more footballers play like that....

they probably have coaches that taught them to do that...

[lakings13]

It's sad that even a great player like him resorts to cheating, crap like this is killing our beautiful game and I don't know how this can be fixed.. I say use video replay after the games and suspend fakers for 20 games or so.

[SeaDragon95]

what a bitch

he was the one who did the foul and th victim gets blamed

[rrao480]

typical....france and arsenal must have taught him how to cheat like a bitch

[mrvolax]

you call it soccer, your opinions don't count.

[Mindfreak248]

both of them are pussys ,RMD 4ever

[Azuurr]

Nothing new. Just France.

[WAZZA08]

randi henry :D

[hristijannn]

he kick him with his head

[leetasd]

Football is only fakeing, fakeing, fakeing and one more time FAKEING!

[ignaciomarley]

wow why all the racist insults..only small brained loosers slur such words...you sore sperm drinking looser..

[14thierry]

well...he has paid puyol back at any rate.

remember his comments after the CL game, what goes around...//

[MoistureX]

Hell yeah Henry baby woot!!!

[wolborg2]

I blame the ref, he is clearly an idiot. Puyol couldnt have possible hurt somone behind him while running foward...

[pedrofbf]

fuck france! kill them all!

[inflames200]

little fucker did the same against portugal. well his little stunts combined with zidane taking the kicks for his dives backfired as zidane got sent off in the final. JUSTICE SERVED i was happy when italy won the world cup. fuck france and their team of nigers

[sebgermany]

übelst un sowas wird ah noch a tor.,.

[desimimi]

This only serves to support my disdain for professional football/soccer.

[Cholli123]

he is french and they are ALWAYS unfair

[oOFlyyOo]

Italy is ten times worst

[00CLAIRE]

Now they tow play together in Barcelona!!!

[scloooeee]

The reason Henry did this was because a month before this match in the champions league final Puyol was all over Henry and Henry didnt get a free kick or anything so this time Henry decided to over react a bit. And it worked!

[Soebek]

I'm going to assume you're an Arsenal fan as that's the excuse they trotted out time and time again to defend Queen Thierry.

[scloooeee]

Yes im an Arsenal fan but that has nothing to do with it as that is the truth. R u a Tottenham fan or something btw?

[buildabear909]

i'm an arsenal FAN WHOO!!!

[runisfun]

la misma historia de siempre...

USA 94 Italia-España....

Cor/Jap 02 Corea-España....

VIVA AUSTRIA Y SUIZA! :)

[Seite32]

Sag ma, ist der moderator blöd oder so???

Sagt da eiskalt "Da fährt er den ellbogen raus gegen Henry".

da war doch nix!

[PowerBoy385]

The shoulder was a barge.

[luizmaluco]

domenech s*ck my d*ck

[braveczajar]

puyol blocked henry u fucking fools!¬¬¬¬ i dont like french but that was fair for foul(not card)

[materbait]

dude that was toatly unfair the guy in the white jersey should get the card eventough it was unessary cause the white jersy guy nudged him and took both of them down

[fontwizzle]

the guy in the white?? dude thats thierry henry

[arseniqo]

French faked also during the final of the WM...

[kks121212]

henry clearly faked (he wasn't hit in the face) but still puyol hit him with his shoulder

[DinoCorleone]

That German prick is saying nonsense!!! What an Idiot!!!

[iper19]

L'Italia vi ha vendicato, spagnoli

[clecre]

Qué cojones tenemos, y encima acabó en gol

[Nathanchesnut]

I am a Th14 fan but he did dive. Puyol still deserved the yellow card for getting in his way though. There was CLEAR obstruction. Okay maybe yellow was too harsh but it was a foul like it or not. You guys can't be telling me that he is the only one who fakes it every once in a while. EVERYBODY does sometime or other.

[illuminatuzz]

dont justify his mistake by saying everyone else does it..

[nosredna131313]

name someone who doesn't dive at least once in their career then. EVERYBODY DIVES. The only reason Henry is diving more now is because he is getting older (31); when he was in his prime he never even thought of diving because no one could get close enough to him to touch him. Now that he is not as fast he dives a little bit.

[illuminatuzz]

so ur saying everyone in the history of football has dived once in their career??

if they have then obv they didnt have self confidence wheather it was best, pele or maradona

[alvalid10]

Sure, but french keep saying ALL players dive except theirs...

This is quite funny how those people keep talking to italians, portugese or other teams about "not diving" or being fair play...

[darky01]

your ablsolutey right

everyone does dive if not once at the least

puyol did get in his way but the yellow was a bit too harsh

Thierry Henry all they way

[DX1811]

Watch Henry after Vieira Scored ... the face pain is gone ... Unexplained healing here lol

I think he did the same during the Semi against Portugal. A mere touch from Carvalho and he goes flying as if Carvalho's leg was made of concrete.

French soccer team are lucky :AGREE

French soccer commentators are the WORST esp. when the national team is playing.

[roz343]

esp. when James McFfaden scores from 40 yards to win the game 4 scotland lol

[Archibaldinho]

FUCK OFF REINHOLD BECKMANN!!! (he is the speaker, he says puyol is acting and absolutely deserves the yellow card. even after watching the repetition)

[OjYrD]

anyway i hate france national football team....they are so damn lucky...

[nic0tin3]

Yea Henry deserved a yellow, not Carlos Puyol but hey at least we saw the great Zinedine Zidane in action

[mynameisjankenpopp]

vaya robo a España!

[donorleone]

whata prick

cant fuckin win by playing football has to act like a girl

[BritishTamil1]

thats why he's one of the best of the 21st century. Im a chelsea fan but u canot deny that that was henrys first dive

[darky01]

thank you

some intelligent talk

[darky01]

dude

he is one of the best players in the world

i dont think he needs to act like a girl...when he can GET girls

[korcari14]

and they in the same club

[toshisarobot]

aaah. henry played it out well. he's still a cunt.

deserved a yellow, as well.

[manufob]

france dominated the game...they always beats spain

[hutchylufc]

who says cheaters never win?!

[germanice311]

they did not win.. Winners are Italy... mmm sorry i forget Fabio Grosso.. well cheaters did win... Forzaaa Azzurri!!!

[Markyblueboywonder]

Forget the players. It sums up the standard of refs in world football

[bananabob154]

you gotta do what you gotta do to win

[TitanicWarrior]

Not a French fan, but Henry was getting his own back at Puyol who hacked him and fouled him so much in the Champions League final 2 months earlier.

[BRUTALGAMER]

thats exaxtly it.
