LONDON (AP) — Thierry Henry denied Friday that he was a cheat but said the “fairest solution” would be to replay the France-Ireland World Cup playoff that was decided by his handball.
Henry set up the deciding goal for William Gallas by controlling the ball with his hand in Wednesday’s 1-1 draw at the Stade de France. The goal in extra time gave France a spot in next year’s World Cup with a 2-1 aggregate victory over Ireland after two legs of the playoffs.
