henry made a play, maybe intentional, and france won. its the refs job to stop it. how can you fault henry?? he fucking won the game. hello? you play to win the game.
I blame the refs and Henry. You play to win the game, but I believe you play within the rules and true spirit of the game to win.
On further review, I now don't blame the French whatsoever. The French were on the verge of capitulating to the Irish--it's in their DNA to raise their hands in surrender. It just so happened while raising his arms, he hit the ball with his hand. If the referee was German, I'm sure he understood what occurred immediately.
