After seeing that replay, I no longer consider the call-back a wrong call--a zealous interpretation of the laws of the game, but technically a correct one. The awarding of the penalty in the first place is highly debatable, and IMO was unwarranted. And in the resulting shootout, the Brazil keeper was called for leaving the line on the very first shot. Had she stopped any of the others, I believe she'd have been called for the same thing on all of them. Even very blatantly leaving the line early, she could only stop one shot. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:340239 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/unsubscribe.cfm
