Justice but that is ridiculous, the keeper was so fucking far off his line.

What's the bloody point in making new rules if the refs aren't going to follow them?

It was explicitly mentioned in the new rules for the tournament that a goalie coming off his line for a penalty would get booked and the penalty would be retaken. And yet this was allowed to happen.

That was about the furthest I've seen a keeper off his line since Dudek in 2005.

Agreed, but I think the ref was just looking for an opportunity to correct his mistake there.

Don't forget Robbie Fowler in 2000.



Ohh no wait, that was on the lines.

If Spain don't equalise here (big if the way this tournament has been), they most likely face Italy in R2, Germany in QF, and France (maybe England) in the semi.

Massively lop-sided draw we have now.

Del Bosque and Woy have fucked this up in a big, big way. The team that manages to make it to the final might well be so knackered they'll lose to a Croatia, Wales or Belgium who have had a much easier route.

I'd love to see Wales win it.
