I don't see how he is a cheat if it was an accidental handball which he even admitted to after the match. Had the ref asked him, and he denied it, then that would have been cheating.
Accidental? He raised his hand to stop it going out, then flicked it across to Gallas for the goal. The referee was blindsided so couldn't see it, but the linesman should have flagged. Henry also admitted he'd handled it, and said it was up to the ref to make the decision.
Gutted for the boys in green, they outplayed les bleus on the night and had by far the better chances. Converting one of them would have made the handball issue redundant, but cheating is cheating in my book.
