The hand of god, revisited.

The hand of god, revisited.

Posted July 5, 2010 by Jacques Rousseau

Uruguay’s Luis Saurez cheated in order for his team to beat Ghana in the Wold Cup quarter final. Of this there can be no doubt, for Saurez admitted as much in boasting that his was the new “hand of God”. There can also be no doubt that the referee did the right thing, according to the rules of the game. We can however doubt the rules themselves.
