France striker Thierry Henry has blasted ref Benito Archundia after he refused to allow a goal in last night's 1-1 draw with South Korea.
The Mexican official refused to allow a 30th-minute goal from Patrick Vieira - even though the former Arsenal star's header was almost a yard over the line.
And that howler was compounded eight minutes from time when Manchester United's Park Ji Sung bundled in a late leveller to cancel out Henry's opener.
Gunners hitman Henry raged: "We did not start appealing because it was so obvious. Everyone in the ground could see it. Why he made that decision I do not know - but it was clearly in.
"The refs are pretty quick to give yellow cards for no reason but when we wanted a proper decision there was no one out there to do that.
"We talk about their goal near the end but we should've been 2-0 up - and we would've been had he got it right. I know the ball was in, you do, everyone does.
"Come on. Why he didn't give it I don't know - but, at the end of the day, it just hasn't gone our way
