You mean like Argentina-England in 1986 (Maradona's original God's hand), OM-Benfica in 1990 or France-Germany in 1982...

AFAIK those games were not granted a rematch. Ref mistakes happen, always have, always will.

I was thinking of France-Germany in 1982, where it wasn't just a hand, it was a player knocked out with a cracked vertebra.

How about Tassotti breaking Luis Enrique's nose in a world cup quarter final?

En un viejo país ineficiente, algo así como España entre dos guerras civiles, poseer una casa y poca hacienda y memoria ninguna. -- Gil de Biedma
