Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  I kii a Thierry Henry i whakawakia ia mo te peera peera i ngaro ai te Republic of Ireland i te 2010 World Cup i te wa i tapaina ai a Lionel Messi hei 'genius' i muri i tetahi huihuinga rite. I whakamahia e te kaiwhawhai a France tona ringa ki te whakahaere i te ripeka i mua i te whakatakoto i a William Gallas ki te kaute i te meneti 103 i kawea ai a France ki nga whiringa toa i Awherika ki te Tonga i runga i te utu o Ireland. Ko Henry, he kaitakaro o Barcelona, i tino whakahēhia mo ana mahi i taua wa, engari i tohu i te urupare rereke i te wa i eke ai tana hoa o mua o Nou Camp, a Messi, ki tana ringa ki a Espanyol i te tau 2007. Thierry Henry mana te pōro ki tona ringa ki te whakatakoto i te whāinga mo William Gallas i roto i te Ipu o te Ao 2010 o France ki te Republic o Ireland i te Whiringa-a-rangi 2009. E kii ana a Henry i whakahehia ia i muri i te kaupapa, e kii ana ko te urupare me te mea kua'matua e ia tetahi' Henry, e mahi nei inaianei hei kaitohutohu mo Sky Sports, e kii ana i whakahehia ia mo tana poikiri ringaringa. I korero te korero a Arsenal ki a Canal Plus: 'Kei te korero koe mo nga taangata i whakapau kaha ahau i runga i te papa. 'I mea noa atu ahau ki a rātou, 'Ae, he ringa, e pouri ana ahau.' A, e mohio ana koe he aha? Ka mea mai ratou ki ahau: 'E kore matou e whakahe ki a koe.' 'I kite ahau i a Liam Brady, te pakiwaitara o Arsenal, a ka ui mai ia ki ahau: 'I pa atu koe ki a ia ki tou ringa?' Na ka whakahoki ahau, 'Ae, ko toku ringa.' I kōrero ahau ki te hunga pānuitanga i taua pō. I taea e au te whakarere i a rātau, engari kaore au i pera. 'I korero pono ahau - he mahi noa iho. He urupare na te kaiwhakataetae, pērā tonu ki te wā e toro atu ana koe mō te pōro i runga i te raina ina whiua tō kaitiaki poaka. 'I taku kitenga i a Messi e eke ana ki a Espanyol, e ruku ana ki te pa atu ki te poi me tona ringa, ka mea te iwi, 'He tino mohio, inaianei kua tata atu ia ki a Maradona.' Engari i te wā ko ahau, me te mea kua patua e ahau tētahi.' I eke a Lionel Messi ki te whaainga me tana ringaringa i te tukinga a Barcelona ki a Espanyol i te Pipiri 2007. Ko te wā 'Ringa o te Atua' rongonui a Diego Maradona ki a Ingarangi i te 1986 World Cup. Ko te 37-tau-tau, ko ia inaianei he kaitohutohu mo Sky Sports, i wehe atu i Barcelona mo New York Red Bulls i muri tata...
E whakapono ana te pakiwaitara o Arsenal i whakahehia ia i runga i te poitūkohu. I whakahaerehia e Henry tana ringa ki te whakarite i a William Gallas i te whakataetae o te Ipu o te Ao o France me Ireland i te marama o Noema 2009. Engari e kī ana ia he mahi 'whakaaro' tērā, ā, e kī ana i mihi ia i taua wā. Ka tāpiri atu ko Lionel Messi i tapaina he 'kaiwhakaako' mō te whāinga whutupaoro mo Barcelona ki Espanyol i te tau 2007.
