Where's the TMO??

I really can't get over Thierry Henry, the way he celebrated as though he had done nothing wrong. It seems that since last Friday the French have really started to annoy me. My Mom's side of the family is Irish and I would have prefered the fun Irish fans coming to South Africa over the French.
Enough moaning though... this is a prime example why football should adopt a TMO (television match official). With all the appealing from the Irish team it would have been an obvious decision and taken about 45 seconds as the referee stopped play, went upstairs and got told that it is not a goal. Come on FIFA, your use of technology is about ten years behind all other sport codes.

UPDATE: I read an article at goal.com that asks should Henry be punished. Damn good question and I say yes. I have the same reasons in that if he is not held accountable then other players will believe that too can get away with cheating. As with a player being cited in rugby after a game, players found cheating should be given some form of punishment.
