the hand


Before the opening whistle, Henry maneuvers the ball with his hand, France scores and Ireland stays out of the World Cup.

The Hand comes in against Uruguay after 71 minutes. We've all seen it warm up by the side of the field.

In the 88th minute, The Hand indignantly calls for a penalty due to contact of the ball with an Uruguayan defender's hand inside the box. The replay shows that the entire arm of the Uruguayan is pressed against his body when the ball strikes it.
