got this email with attached pics from one of my Trinidad & Tobagoan friends on my course:
** THE HAND OF CROUCH **
How can anyone with eyes not see that this is a clear foul?
YOU SIMPLY CANNOT HOLD ON TO A PLAYER'S HAIR AND TURN HIM AROUND AND IT NOT BE CALLED A FOUL!!!!
In 1986 Maradona fisted in the ball, that was called 'The Hand of God'.
Today we have 'The Hand of Crouch'.
The only bit of hair on the defender's head that is facing that direction is the hair in Couch's hand!
Come on! What is Crounch doing? A hairdressing course on the football field? He is tugging at the defender's hair and this goal should NOT have been allowed!
What more evidence do you need? You cannot do that to a player and not be penalised!
Don't tell me the ref did not see. He has assistant refs who spot when a ball goes over the line way on the next side of the field! This is all about the 'big guns' finding their way to the next rounds plain and simple.
I have taken the time to ZOOM in since some people clearly have 2" monitors.
In some parts of the world this is called CHEATING ... in others, professional play.
How much you want to wager that if a T&T player had done this they would have been SENT OFF IMMEDIATELY.
Ridiculous!

while i think it's mainly sour grapes from my friends and probably other T&T people , why was it not picked up?
