he would be a starter on AC Milan.

Idk why Henry's getting crucified over that. It was against an average team playing average football.

That average team was better than France and would have deserved to be @ the WC.

It doesn't matter who it was against. The point is that it was instinctive, you don't think about the moral implications when you handle the ball, you do what you can do to help your team win. This sort of thing happens in every game. It was blown way out of proportion because it was a big game.
If it makes you feel any better, the Irish are cheaters too, but I didn't see anyone crying over this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oQQiaAtKFcs

Exactly, it's intuitive. The ball was coming at Henry's hand so he opened up his palm. It's not like he stopped and said "I can't trap this ball...so I better get a hand on it while nobodys looking." Sheesh lighten up haters.

You can't be mad at the Irish, just look at how they dance: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hHypmu7EO1k

How could you possibly be mad at Robbie Keane after watching that!

I actually thought he could play for a top italian or french team for a few years before going to america.
But he is like beckham were he is fascinated by the american culture.

MLS is easy money but he could easily be effective for a mid table side in any of the top leagues. I actually wouldn't mind him as a 3rd striker at United, can't be any slower than Mickey Owen right?
