i think wat fifa did was not right. cause i dont think the’ve included henry current income base on the fact that he has just sign a new contract with arsenal.
i also think that fifa’s punishment on zidane is too lineat, cause fifa should have punish him with nthing less than $30,000.00 plus other punishment.
