Who is the bigger cheat: Tiger Woods or Thierry Henry?

Henry was only doing what he was supposed to do--win the game. He's paid to score goals. Yes, we all want them to be legit goals, but the refs need to be on top of the game.
There is simply too much money in World Football to NOT have instant replay for goals, offsides, etc.
Adopt what American football does--give the coaches 1 challenge a half and auto review everything from the last 2 minutes through stoppage time.

Be Nice :nono:
Woods.
he cheated his wife.
he cheated his wife.
Tiger Woods is way worse.
Hmm, here's an honest response from a European...as most participants in this discussion strike me to be Americans...
Here, nobody...and I mean n o b o d y except some golfers gives a crap about Tiger Woods. To me, he's just another guy that cheated on his wife. It's a private matter and nobody elses business. Of course it's wrong and he will have to "pay" for it. Let his wife tear him apart. But I don't know the background and the whole story behind this. And I don't care. Why should I be upset about it? And where does his marriage reflect on his professional life? I don't get it.
Henry on the other hand cheated (or even "conned") an entire football nation, the Irish. And brought shame once again on his entire football nation, France. Not that some countries don't already have more of a (stereotypical) reputation to be cheaters, guys like Henry make it even worse by "attending" to those stereotypes (or by activating them... or serving them... eeh, you know what I mean). Because of his blatant, intentional and heavy rule-breaking, Ireland won't go to the World Cup, whereas France, will even though they really haven't earned it and don't deserve it this time.
How some Americans can still say "he did nothing wrong" and stuff like that, I don't get. But I'd guess that's the problem. I often get the impression, that the only time that cheating is considered wrong in the US, is when someone is cheating on his wife/husband. Everything else is fair game as long as one doesn't get caught. And even if one gets caught, one either weasels himself out of the situation, lies and cheats some more, pretends it never happened or even shamelessly states, that it's someone elses fault for not catching him while cheating. Hardly anyone shows any shame, remorse or respect. But don't you ever cheat on your wife. You'll get crucified, burned at the stake, you'll be impoverished, pauperized, ruined and cast out, you'll sink to the moral level of the guy who flew the first plain into the World Trade Center. You'll be registered in the adultery database and your face will show up on every dating watchlist under the category "cheating bastard" or "lowlife scum" right next to rapists and childmolesters. When you move into a new neighborhood your neighbors will be warned via mail that there's an "adulterer" amongst their midst. Female waiters will refuse to serve you. Your insurance will be revoked because your lifestyle is too risky (who ****** around has stds!!!). You'll have a hard time getting a new job, because noone will trust you, because adulterers are like junkies...lying scum!!!
...wait.... I'm getting off topic... where was I?
Ah yeah, Henry is the bigger cheat. In my experience, who cheats in his private life like Tiger Woods did doesn't necessarily cheat everywhere else too. People who cheat the way Henry did (the act itself as well as the context) are often very likely to cheat in every other aspect of life as well. Ergo...

Henry admitted he used his hand and said the game should be replayed. He admitted it was wrong and shouldn't have counted. Is that his fault or the referees?
Shindekudesai is making is sound like Henry should be kicked off the planet or something. It's a game. **** happens. I'm not saying Tiger Woods is a bigger cheat. I could care less about that. But people are placing all the blame on Henry, when it is really the referees at fault.

No, the refs cheated the Irish nation.
Thank you. :bowdown:
I think everyone is just on about it personally cause he got caught. Call me a skeptic and all but two people especially if its a really long time married are bound to cheat even if not intentional or pre-planned. ******* night out with mates or some dung I dunno you get general idea. Just think its unrealistic to be honest even in "good old" days of supposed rock solid marriages I bet **** went down. Also I would be sceptical about the amount of chicks now in the media saying they had Tiger, to me that looks like twats looking for attention or publicity I mean some of them where totally not as hot as his missus. Dont care how many times ya screwed her.
As for "liberal" europe read an article about german couples married for quite some time. The husband and missus take seperate holidays basically so they can get there freak on, responsibly of course and then just err come back and continue on normally afterwards.
Dont get me wrong I cant picture that myself as I am still young and hot headed and would feel rather violent towards another man that screwed my woman lulz but I wont critise it either.
Oh yea and if I was into soccer I would be baying for Henry's *****!
