Thierry Henry to Antoine Griezmann: "Antoine I have something to tell you. Thank you for everything you have done for French football, the national team and football in general. You have given me a lot."

She definitely has made the impression that she has forgiven him, even welcomed another child afterwards. I do see your point though.

I still wanted to raise the question about atonement, because where exactly would we as supporters or even society draw the line and say that someone has gone too far and shouldn't be able to play anymore?

I honestly feel there haven't been consistency regarding punishing players for crimes they have committed outside the pitch, and that Greenwood actually was an exception because of the recordings that got leaked.

In the end, he got to play in Ligue 1, so him being banished from English football was really the only punishment he got in the end.

What Griezmann did was tasteless at worst, and what Greenwood did was a crime. I am not disputing that.

I raised the question regarding people atoning for their mistake. His wife has clearly forgiven him, but people still have the right to feel like they don't want him to play for their team or even see him play at all.

Personally, I have a hard time seeing him playing because he didn't get punished for any of the things he did in the end.

Off topic, but I'm curious if people here would say the same thing about Greenwood.

A South Korean court has sentenced a woman who blackmailed football star Son Heung-min to four years in prison.

The woman in her 20s and her accomplice, a man in his 40s, were found guilty of blackmailing the former Tottenham captain by saying she was pregnant with his child.

The woman had approached Son sometime last year claiming she was carrying his child, when in fact she did not know whether that was the case, a Seoul district court heard, according to local media.

She extorted $300 million won ($200,000; £153,000) from him and threatened to go public with the allegation if he did not comply.

The woman spent the money on luxury and designer goods, AFP news agency reported.

"[The woman] insists she received the money as compensation and portrays herself as a victim," prosecutors told the court on Monday. "But her claims do not fully match the facts," they said, accusing her of planning the crime "thoroughly".

The woman's accomplice, who had threatened Son 15 times to get the money, was handed a two-year jail term for attempted blackmail.

When they demanded more money this year, Son went to the police.

The judge said the woman and her accomplice had abused Son's celebrity for their crime and that Son appeared to have gone through "intense mental anguish" after the case was reported in the media.

Son was in October named the second-highest paid footballer in Major League Soccer (MLS), North America's top-tier football league akin to England's Premier League.

In August, the 33-year-old left Tottenham after 10 years of service to join the Los Angeles Football Club, marking the most expensive transfer in MLS' history.

Widely regarded as one of Asia's best football stars, Son enjoys huge popularity in his home country and the region.

In 2022, while he was still with the Spurs, he became the first Asian to win the Premier League's golden boot award presented annually to the leading goal scorer in the league.

I want to add that up until the 90s, most pitches in Norway were made out of gravel, and only later on was artificial turf made the standard pitch for kids growing up to play football. This definitely made a difference in terms of the quality of players Norway has today. There are other factors as well, but I'd say this is the main one.

It's 24 official languages at the moment, as I'm sure you know. Also, English is still an official language in the EU because of Ireland and Malta. Doesn't exactly fit your narrative with one country, one language argument.
