Eng Vs Sweden
England own hand of god by Jamie Carragher's at 51st minute saves england, from meeting germany and possibly argentina.

In the 51st minute England failed to clear a Kim Kallstrom corner, Sweden then getting two shots, the first one to deflect off Jamie Carragher's hand, the second hitting the crossbar after a possible slight deflection by Paul Robinson.

Clearly this would have been the defining moment for sweden to finish as leaders of the group and could have avoided germany, argentina. Now the england

With the amount of tv, press coverage in germany, Sweden or Argentina press could have made this a big issue, as the english press made out of the legend in 86. Well its time now to pass the hand of god torch to the england.

Because there was no "hand of God". The ball struck Carragher from a shot, Carragher did not move his arm to stop the ball. Learn the rules, see the difference.

1 was an accident in which carragher had no time to move his hand. The other was the biggest piece of blatant cheating the World Cup has ever seen. Next...
