Pictured above is Thierry Henry's brilliant sleight of hand to set up the game-tying goal for France against Ireland. The game went into extra time as Ireland's lead after regulation resolved nothing in the two match series to determine who would advance to the World Cup in 2010. Henry magically pulled his foot out of his cleat, pushed it through the sleeve of his shirt, knocked the ball down, then almost instantly returned his limbs to their appropriate positions before passing the ball to a wide open William Gallas for the Cup-clinching goal. It was a truly amazing display of athleticism that puts to rest the notion that world's greatest athletes are anything but football (soccer) players.
