Friday Video: Thierry Henry Handball? (World Cup Soccer…Football For The Rest Of The World)

Nothing to do with real estate, everything to do with World Cup Soccer. Thierry Henry, handball? Clearly!

For those that don’t know soccer, first of all shame on you (it’s the most popular sport in the world), but when a player touches the ball with his hands it is considered a foul, referee blows the whistle, play is stopped, goal is reversed, other team has free kick, thus getting the ball back. The world is abuzz as to whether this was intentional, and whether the game should be replayed, because it advanced France into the World Cup (the largest sporting event in the world…yes, bigger than the silly Super Bowl).

We consider San Francisco pretty metropolitan and there are a few soccer fans here, so what do you think? Sophie, what say you?
