Henry faces World Cup ban

The disciplinary committee will open a case into the behaviour of Thierry Henry in the match against Ireland, Blatter said. It is not a question of it being Henry or another player. But it was blatant unfair play and was shown all over the world. I am not saying that Thierry Henry will be punished,what I am saying is that he will be examined by the disciplinary committee.
