Hand of Henry

Once again the world of football is in the middle of another uproar - this time its because of "Hand of Henry" at work. Thierry Henry's handling of the ball during Ireland vs France's World Cup Qualifier 2nd leg playoff, allowed his team mate - William Gallas, to score the goal that took France to World Cup Finals.

In all honesty, I sympathise with Henry. Yes, he did handle the ball. He has admitted to it, and even asked for a replay as a fair resolution to the matter. What else do you want from him? He is right actually - saying that he is not the referee, and that it was the referee's responsibility to stop the game and disallow the goal.

But all this commotion is part of the game - the more publicity the better. FIFA knows very well, that part of what makes the game exciting is questionable decisions or human error in refereeing. In the end - the longer you stay in the game, you'll realise that the theory of equilibrium may bring justice to you.. eventually. You win some, you lose some - that's the name of the game. What do you think?
