The "hand of god": Get over it!

Terry Butcher will never forgive Diego Maradona for the infamous "Hand of God" goal that knocked England out of the World Cup 22 years ago.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/internationals/7734017.stm

Come on, you whiners, do you REALLY keep that in your mind 22 years after?

Seriously! England would have NEVER achieved the football greatness the Argentinians did in that World Cup, so it was o.k. for England to step aside in that game and let the course of history continue, don't you think?

I mean, it's not as if you guys can seriously contend for a world cup, do you? Oh well, now with Capelllo it may be possible, who knows.

😛

Shouldn't people be angry at the ref and his assistants for not picking it up?

Yup, sort of makes more sense than to whine against the genius of Diego. 22 years later!

What? No English throwing their toys out of the pram in this thread?

Maybe that old fart who works with the Scottish team is an exception, and you guys really got over 1986!

Congrats! 🙂

I basically forget about most sport incidents after a week or so*.


* The one exception is the Greatest ODI Of All Time where SA beat the Aussies like a redneck beats his son after drinking daddy's last Bud.

I'm not an expert in the field, but the understanding I have is that SA always beats the Aussies in everything, isn't it?

Well the Aussies certainly dished it out to SA in the last olympics. Australia 14 Gold 15 Silver 17 Bronze total 46 medals. SA 0 Gold 1 Silver 0 Broze total 1 solidary silver medal. Now my friend I'd call that a complete routing. SA were a total non-entity at the olympics and quite frankly an embarrassment. They were beaten on the medal table by countries like Panama, Dominican republic and even Zimbabwe. Christ, the small country town I come from here (population 2500) won more medals that the entire SA team. Not sure that SA can beat Australia (probably the greatest sporting country ever given the population) at anything. Tiddly winks anyone?

In any case, Crowley told me you don't have the guts to tell him all that to his face.

What do you say about that?

I think that your probably a 37 year old 4 foot 5 inch shrimp with a bald head and glasses with a willy the size of my little finger and still lives at home with mommy and likes to talk himself up and imagine he's a big bad pimp so that he feels important. Thats what I think about that.
