I didn't think it was at first, but seeing the other angle of the keeper sticking his leg out changed my mind. If the attacker collided with any other part of the keeper's body than the stuck out leg, then it shouldn't be a penalty.

Messi hits a shot straight at the keeper from 6 yards out - Lee Dixon absolutely creams himself.

That's got to be about the 10th deflated ball I've seen in this cup. Not a great advert for Adidas.

What planet are those so called panel of experts on,
, that was not a penalty. Of course it was a ****ing penalty you daft pricks. I would've preferred it wasn't, but it was and it was a clear and obvious one, at that. Peter Walton was absolutely right

Well, there’s the difference between England and this quite average Argentina team, and why theyre going to the WC final and we aren’t - they have a world class player who can make things happen on his own, and we dont.
