We were really starting to like Thierry Henry. He's smooth, sophisticated and skillful, and with every goal or photo taken of him riding the PATH train, last year's scandalous handball against Ireland and his spineless response recede further into the distance. He's committed to MLS and the New York Red Bulls. He's an asset to American soccer.
And then he goes and pulls a childish, "look at me" stunt like the one on Thursday night in Dallas. Once again, an innocent team will suffer because of Henry's antics.
The circumstances and stakes certainly were different than they were in Paris last November, but this time the hurt caused by Henry was more than emotional. If you haven't already heard, Henry stole the show in a gripping contest between MLS's two resurgent clubs -- New York and FC Dallas -- by trying to kick the ball back into the empty net after newly-acquired Red Bulls midfielder Mehdi Ballouchy scored in first-half stoppage time.
