A handball is not always a handball. T. Henri makes a handball to qualify the french team to the world cup. Indeed, his hand goes to the ball and controls the ball. On the other hand (ok, I won't do this one again) that kid misses his first touch, the ball bounced and goes to his hand. On that play he is clumsy but doesn't do it intentionally and his hand doesn't go to the ball. SO, in my humble opinion there is actually no hand ball on that play. But the ref calls it and a monster kick ties the game. As you say this is history, let's move on. But it is fun to talk, that's why we are here for and who knows some days we might even learn a thing or 2 by doing so.
