Henry’s Hand Ball ruins Irish Dreams-Who to blame?
France captain Thierry Henry’s hand ball which saw them to an overall lead of 2-1 over Ireland has turned the 2010 World Cup a Nightmare to the Irish people. It is really very unfortunate that FIFA could not handle such situation in this modern era. There was similar incident in the quarter final of 1986 World Cup where Maradona’s Hand of God came heavily upon the England team. Now the scene has become clear as Henry himself has admitted that he had twice handled the ball with his hand. French coach Trapatonni also says that he would rather go for the penalties to let the destiny to decide. Now in such critical situations, if a mistake is to decide the results then it is a real shame for game of football. Without doubt, there is no other big achievement for any country than to play in the World Cup Finals. But who is to blame for that? You can not blame Henry. Any body will do it at such pressure situations to see his own country through. A rematch is also not possible as Ireland is claiming for. But the referee in charge could have taken his time. But he may also commit mistakes. He is also human. Use of technology in football seems necessary now. Because, such situations are really very heart breaking.
