If ever there was a reason to introduce some sort of video review system, or at least have a very good look at the whole penalty system, there you have it.

Very harsh result considering there was no infringement.

Mate watch the replay from every angle he was CLEARLY clipped from behind. I'll happily give you my phone number and bet you any amount you want right now, I'll even put the house on it. Next time watch and don't listen to the English commentator. ;)

BTW how those Italians going? :P

@MBB

Even if he wasn't fouled (which he clearly was), it wasn't a dive.

Ignorance is bliss.

ONWARDS AND UPWARDS!

Like I said, watch it from EVERY angle. The footage on SBS after the game showed an angle from behind where he clearly takes his left leg from behind putting him off balance and making him stub his toe. That footage is blurred, from inconclusive angles and all but one starts from after the foul. On the way home I was listening to SEN and Radar Maher said in response to tweets they have seen from all angles and there was CLEARLY contact from behind.
Ignorance is bliss.

The gif shows he stubbed his toe in the ground all by himself and then he flopped. He has history too. ;)

Not only that but to have two players injured in the first 15 minutes and have one sub left for the game in that heat was an enormous performance. We also hit the bar three times as well as having a host of other chances. Bring on Costa Rica!!

It's a gif. Says it all. Like I said, watch it from all angles on SBS tonight and I will be amazed if you still think the same thing. Just reading a few articles I see they use the terms 'Samaras upended'  and 'brought down Samaras' etc. No talk of the penalty not being there.

100% penalty.  better team all day and it's a just result.

The ivorian player fails to play the ball and gets the man.

Not to mention he tackles from behind. Stonewall penalty.
