|| SportsShooter.com: Member Message Board Ireland + France-World Cup Jim Owens, Photographer Cincinnati | OH | usa | Posted: 6:39 PM on 11.20.09 ->> Did anyone get a photo of the handball that was not called in the Ireland vs France World Cup match ? http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/S/SOC_FIFA_REPLAY?SITE=VTBUR&SECTION=H... Shouldn't instant replay be used in that kind of critical situation ? Any thoughts ?  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

Reminds me of the World Cup Final between Argentina and England (maybe) back in 1986 (i think) where the Argentinian hand-balled the winning goal. Ugh. Instant replay should be used. Even the guy who touched the ball with his hand admitted it.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

It was the first goal of a semi-final match against England. Shortly thereafter he scored one of the best goals in World Cup History taking a ball 60 yards and the entire England defense and midfield with him. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DbbsytHDp2o Hand of God http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jk-kXwjASEE&feature=related best goal of the century The World Cup is around the corner I can't wait. And don't worry France will be eliminated in the first round, just like in the last World Cup. Ireland deserved to win.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

Like what they do in rugby where the have a video referee. At the same time though refereeing mistakes are part of the game. The "Hand of God" goal, and even (although you'll never hear me admit it) England may have won the World Cup in 1966 with a goal that allegedly did not cross the line. Personally I've always liked the fact that the kids playing in the park go by exactly the same rules as the professionals on the pitch - with two linesman and a referee - it's served us well for the past 150 years, I don't see why it should change now. -Jack  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?
