Re: Replay or We'll take back Lisbon Treaty! (4.00 / 2)

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.

Europeans think a hundred miles is a long way. Americans think a hundred years is a long time.

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?
