FIFA Should Ban Henry
Yet another cheating bastard gets away with it.
If FIFA really does have any balls then they should make an example of Thierry Henry by banning him from the Quarter Final against Brazil. The big sulky one was on his best acting behaviour when he collided with Carles Puyol and fell to the ground clutching his face in a way that Rivaldo would have applauded.
They used to say cheats don't prosper but Henry's oscar winning performance resulted in the free-kick which led to his side's second goal in their 3-1 World Cup victory over Spain. It was obvious that the goal affected the moral of Spain's younger and more talented side.
Of course we all knew it was going to happen, the culture of cheating that his club manager Arsene Wenger encourages with his myopic view of his lying, diving, cheating side has reached such epidemic proportions that his players expect to get away with it at international level. And Henry himself had said in a moment of gloriously sour grapes at the end of the Champions League final, a match in which he was as effective as stick of wet celery in a hurry, that in future he would dive if required.
I hope Brazil show them how to play football in the quarter finals.

hehehehe...I forgot Henry and Arsenal are your kryptonite; you seem a little peeved...:-/
What Henry did was wrong but tehref blew for the foul that he saw...he didn't blow for the theatrics...why Puyol even went near him I don't know.
France had the better tactics and I think Aragones should go quickly...he has plenty of young talent but he doesn't know how to play them. Torres had his one good game against Urkraine. Raul shouldn't have been on (or at least not after 10 minutes) With Joaquim on earlier an Reyes on the other wing France would have been stretched (they weren't stretched once) and so knackered...as it was they spent the whole game in midfield playing Spain's passing game...i.e. just watching Spain use their 60% possession in about 20 square metres around the centre spot. Even in the first half France looked they could score on the break but Spain never did...just teh penalty...France didn't win it, Spain lost it.

P.S. Did the italian thug ever get punished...if FIFA didn't ban him then they're a worse bunch of pricks than I thought.

Hi Span,
Yes De Rossi got a four match ban which means he could play in the final should Italy get there which I doubt.
Agree about Aragones tactics, Xavi, Xabi Alonso and Cesc are too much alike. If you look at their club football they all play the 'water carrier' role for Deco, Gerrard and next season Rosicsky, although they all have more to offer than the usual holding player.
I'm not peeved because he plays for Arsenal but because it's Henry somebody who has been above all of this for so long.
