Moreover, I realize that the refs can't use video replays to decide the games, but that doesn't make a handball legal. Just because the Officials don't see it, doesn't take away from the illegality of it. He just got away with murder with that goal. However, I don't think that you can possibly say that whatever works you can do in soccer. The rules must be obeyed so that fair play is the games top priority.

Also, you think that Rooney is better than Henry? I agree that Rooney is a great player with tons of potential, but to be at henry's level, he first has alot of maturing to do. I mean, I'm not even sure that I would agree that Owen is a better forward than Henry.
Maradona thinks that was the "hand of god," you know why? I mean that is what he thinks...

He thinks he did not mean to do that. Hey that happens. How many penalty kicks have you seen that defenders do not mean to get their arms involved. Sometimes is obvious... everybody sees the hand, but how do you know if the defender mean to do that?

It happens to me before... I did not score, it was a 50/50 ball the ball was touched by my hand by accident and I passed it for a winning goal... everybody went crazy over the ref... I knew it was a hand ball, I did not mean to do that... hey it happens. It just happened so fast.

If you want to remember Maradona because of that... good, nothing wrong with that.

But you should know better about a subject before you start "arguing." You have not even seen Maradonas game yet? How can you judge something you don't know? Are you like a philosopher or something?

Watch Maradona and Pele, compare both of them, and then come up with your own conclusion. Don't listen to what "hollywood" tells you, see for your own son.
