the goalkeeper was down on the ground injured outside the area and a player crossed the ball into Di Canio who caught the ball instead of putting the ball into an open net.
the bottom line you can say what you want but i bet that for years to come Henry will be remembered for that alot- you know its true because the Maradona incident still gets brought up now.
That was very sporting of Di Canio. But IMO it's pretty easy to be sporting when there's nothing riding on the outcome. Everton and West Ham were just involved in more mid-table dullness. It made pretty much no difference to either side that Di Canio did that.
If Henry had let that ball run out of play then France would probably be out of the World Cup. There'll be about 5 French football fans who would have preferred Henry not to have handled that ball. 30 million French football fans will be delighted France are in the World Cup and probably couldn't give a to55 how the goal came.
