Also to be noted that [Uruguay v Ghana - To Qualify] market - 3millions matched in about 15minutes.

If your standing on the line, in the last minute of extra time of a world cup quarter final......with the chance to give your country a place in the semi final what would you do?

I would play with hands like T.Henry :lol: or better like Maradona and saying that it was hand of God.
Or trading-wise said, it is like laying at low odds, risk is minimum a [red card] if you get noticed but the upside is huge - qualification and maybe more :lol: :lol: :lol:

In making a split second decision would u have time to consider your morals?

I dont know what I would do to be honest, but I suspect it would be an instinctive reaction to stop the ball at all costs...

In these instances surely a goal should be awarded rather than penalty....

something else for FIFA to consider? I doubt they will...

maybe we'll see Argentina out tomorrow. Nothing against them really. Simply enjoying those soccer drama moments. Especially when hot favorites lose, like today Brasilians did.

Well in fairness a penalty by definition penalises the offending team by giving the opposition a free kick at goal from 12 yards out which should be converted.

hot against cold. So far Germany with a very organizez and calm play. The trend for cheating teams is still on. All cheating and playing with hands go home. Next one according to the trend :lol: should be Uruguay.

very nice game. Still enjoying it.
