| I was playing soccer with my daughter this week and with her great grandfather (94 years old and playing soccer!) when he caught the ball. I couldn't help but thing back to the Maradonna incident-anyone remember it?

| I do not recall the incident you are talking about but would love to hear more and hear why it ties in with that subject line. I just had to post how marvelous it is that a 94-year old great-grandfather is still out playing soccer! Just living to 94 is a wondrous thing, let alone being that healthy and active.

| The incident in question had the player catch or knock the ball with his hand-which is against the rules. A goal was scored off the knock, and it wasn't penalised, therefore becoming known as the hand of God goal.

| To me The Hand of God is evident in the fact that you have a 94-year-old grandfather and the fact that he can still play soccer with you and your daughter.
