He can't get a game because his legs have had it for years, it's only now he's quite rightly been dropped.

Couldn't give a toss what he did in the Ireland game, I'm going to have to be bias and remember his Arsenal years.:p

Zidane's reputation isn't really that tainted after the headbutt?

Yep and for all the moaning about his handball..im sorry it was down to the ref to call it...sure it was unfair and karma has bitten France right on the arse so its poetic justice in a way.

But i do feel sorry for Henry...why was he brought along if he wasnt going to get a game??...should have brought Benzema if that was the case.

Simply put France are a complete utter mess all due to an inept clueless muppet as a manager....he should have never been manager for this WC.

We should be thankful that at least England havent imploded like the French have in the past week or so.

Uruguay: 1-Fernando Muslera; 2-Diego Lugano, 6-Mauricio Victorino, 4-Jorge Fucile, 16-Maximiliano Pereira, 15-Diego Perez, 17-Egidio Arevalo, 7-Edinson Cavani, 11-Alvaro Pereira, 9-Luis Suarez, 10-Diego Forlan.

Referee: Viktor Kassai (Hungary)
 
Still a pretty decent french team there...thought ribery and gallas would have been dropped as they have been mentioned as trouble makers.
 
I forget about the Henry handball until some Irish loser talks about it again, then I realise I don't care at all about it and forget it again

Not really, he wasn't cheating for an unfair benefit (in fact he disadvantaged his team) and was allegedly retaliating to a distasteful remark from Materazzi (who seems like a grade A **** most of the time on the pitch) so that seems to me distinctly different. However I rather suspect Henry's handball will equally be forgotten by many in years to come too as the majority of his years at Arsenal and the fine World Cup/Euro Championship teams that he played in will be to the forefront.

The same could be said for Maradona though, his playing career was legendary but to this day he is still tainted by the hand of god incident.

Mexico v Uruguay for me too.

Not with me. :p

That is true, but what I was answering was sort of outside this. I was merely referring to the fact that any one incident isn't really going to taint him.
