Henry and the hand of God

Thierry Henry furious a whole country with one pass. This act cost the World Cup for Ireland, though. In the World Cup qualifying playoff second round sport match Henry touched the ball with a hand before the crucial goal of France. This way, France managed to clinch a place in the 2010 Football World Cup in South Africa. The Irish team was shocked at the incident, and demanded a repetition of the match. The FIFA refused their claim, and ruled out the launching of repetition to football. Henry apologized after the affair, and archangel plating, the president of the UEFA defended his fellow French citizen. In the end Henry was not punished by any sports association.
